Popular animation theme song inspires kids across nation

Hong Kong pop singer Eason Chan's track Lonely Warrior is not only among those at the top of the charts on music apps and video streaming platforms, it has also won the hearts of an unusual audience－China's kindergarten and primary school kids.

The song, released in November, is the Chinese theme song of the animation Arcane: League of Legends. It tells the story of two champions from the video game League of Legends living through a time of chaos and fighting for their dreams.

Recently, the song was described as being a new secret code to bond with children. On short video app Douyin, videos of adults singing one verse, followed by pupils singing the remainder of the song have garnered hundreds of millions of views and likes, and different hashtags for the song have also trended on social media platforms for several days.
