Bitterness and sadness can only be faced by yourself. The title of the song is "People Like Me".

"Someone Like Me" is a song written, composed and sung by Mao Buyi. The song was first sung in the 8th issue of "Tomorrow's Son Season 1" on August 5, 2017, live. The version is included in Mao Buyi's album "Superstar Buyi Studio No. 1" released on September 1, 2017, and the official version is included in Mao Buyi's album "An Ordinary Day" released on May 31, 2018.

In 2023, the song was used as the theme song of the movie "Second Hand Masterpiece". In 2019, the song won the Top Ten Songs of the Year award at the 2018 NetEase Cloud Music Original Ceremony. When he was a child, Mao Buyi felt that he was a very unique person, but as he grew older, Mao Buyi discovered that he might not be that special after all, and he felt uncomfortable with the feeling of being invisible to everyone.

Song Appreciation

He felt very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. When Mao Buyi was facing graduation from college, he tried to escape from the current situation, but he didn't know where to go. In 2016, when Mao Buyi was an intern at Hangzhou Local Hospital, he began to write songs. He wrote this kind of himself into the song "People Like Me". Compared with "Xiaochou", "Someone Like Me" is not as shocking as "Xiaochou".

But the simple and unsophisticated lyrics are more heart-wrenching, and each lyric sings the voices of countless listeners. If "Xiaochou" is a helpless forbearance of worldly affairs, then this song is a self-mockery after worldly affairs, telling how people are unwilling to be ordinary and yearn for poetry and the distance, but remain ordinary all their lives. "Will anyone feel sorry for a person who is so inexplicable like me?" are lyrics that can be written by the kindest and most sincere people. Mao Buyi caught off guard and wrote the deepest desire in the hearts of the audience.
