"Little Princess" disregards copyright law: Fans turn against her, colleagues are outraged.

From a promising "Sing! China" champion to the beloved "Little Princess," Shan Yi Chun has just poured cold water on her burgeoning career. She brazenly sang Li Bai's song despite a ban from the original composer, Li Rong Hao.

On the evening of March 28, 2026, Thien Y Thuan's solo live show in Shenzhen took place amidst the anticipation of thousands of fans. However, instead of praise for her singing, the concert became the start of a storm of criticism. The singer, born in 2001, performed "Li Bai"—an iconic hit by the male songwriter and singer Li Ronghao.

There would be nothing to talk about if this were a legitimate cover. But the harsh reality is more extreme: Thien Y Thuan's team had proactively contacted Li Ronghao's company to purchase the copyright beforehand, but were flatly refused. Despite the official "ban," the "Little Princess" still nonchalantly included the song in her performance lineup, a blatant challenge to intellectual property law.

The controversy erupted when Li Ronghao – a former judge at Sing! China 2020 (the season where Shen Yichun won) – publicly denounced his junior on Weibo. Instead of polite words, Li Ronghao directly criticized his former student's "indifferent" attitude and rapid transformation.

He wrote these bitter words: "I hope you don't say you didn't know, that it was the company's fault, that wouldn't be right given your carefree attitude. I also hope you don't cry on stage to gain sympathy. Because when you broke the rules, you were so confident." This statement delves deep into Thien Y Thuan's past – from a shy girl who used to cry on stage years ago to a star who "brazenly breaks the rules." Ly Vinh Hao's reprimand is not only aimed at the violation but also at the decline in the artistic character of a young talent.

Faced with public outrage and irrefutable evidence from her senior colleague, in the early hours of March 30th, Thien Y Thuan and her management company were forced to post a public apology. The singer admitted that she felt "extremely ashamed" for betraying the trust of her fans and harming Ly Vinh Hao.

She announced she would cease all activities involving the use of images and lyrics related to the song "Li Bai," and pledged to use her personal funds to compensate for damages. Her plea to fans not to attack Li Ronghao and her assertion that "the fault lies entirely with me" was seen as a last-ditch effort to salvage her crumbling image. In response, Li Ronghao showed his gentlemanly side by stating he would not demand compensation and advising her to "go to bed early because you've worked hard performing ." A seemingly gentle statement, yet one that carried significant weight, leaving those involved deeply troubled.

Born in 2001, Tian Yichun rose to prominence as a rare phenomenon in the Chinese music scene after winning Sing! China 2020. With her melancholic, refined, and technically skilled voice, she has been dubbed "Little Princess" by both professionals and audiences – someone expected to continue the resounding success of the legendary diva Faye Wong.

Thiện Y Thuần once humbly responded, "I certainly can't become her, nor can I surpass her; I just want to express my respect for her achievements." However, her recent copyright infringement completely contradicts the spirit of "respect" she once expressed. In the art world, respecting the intellectual property of colleagues is a vital principle. The fact that a young artist on the verge of becoming an A-list star has made such a basic legal mistake has shaken the prestigious title bestowed upon her by the audience.

Li Ronghao's leniency might help her escape legal trouble, but the "scar" in the public's heart will be hard to erase. To be worthy of the title "Little Princess," Shan Yichun needs more than just a beautiful voice; she needs the integrity and self-respect of a true artist.
