Sung by Eason Chan (陈奕迅), released November 2021 as the Chinese theme of animated film 《英雄联盟双城》 (Arcane). Unexpectedly became the 'kids' national anthem' on mainland China in 2022 — nearly every primary schooler could sing the chorus 孤身 ('love you walking alone through the dark alley'). Hit 100 million+ streams on NetEase Music.
usage
is an old classical compound (solitary + brave); = '-er / the one who'. As a coined title the whole phrase became standalone vocab for 'someone who stands up alone against the crowd'.
