On June 8, 2020, Christian singer Leehom Wang shared on Sina Microblog that he sang his alma mater’s song for this year’s graduates.
Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no commencement for graduates of Williams College, but Wang sang the college’s song“The Mountains”on a mountain in Taipei to give blessings.
He also dedicated this song to all college graduates, wishing them a bright future.
He wrote, “During the pandemic, young brothers and sisters studied online back home. Today’s graduation ceremony was also held virtually. I’m very honored to be the only performance guest at the 2020 commencement.
To encourage and congratulate you, I climbed on the top of a mountain and sang the song ‘The Mountains’,
This song was created by Washington Gladden who graduated in 1859.
It is significant that he was very opposed to the then slavery, saying that was racial discrimination and holding that people of any skin should be equal.”
His message brought great encouragement to many people.
Some fans commented, “I have received your graduation blessing.
基督徒艺人王力宏受邀为母校威廉姆斯大学毕业生献唱校歌
6月8日，基督徒艺人王力宏发微博分享今年毕业季为母校威廉姆斯大学毕业生献唱校歌《群山》的视频。
受新冠疫情的影响，今年的毕业季比较特殊，没有毕业照，也没有毕业典礼，他特別登上台北福州山的山顶来唱这首校歌，为学弟学妹们送上最诚挚的祝福。
同时也把这首歌送给所有的毕业生，恭喜大家毕业了，愿大家前程似锦。
王力宏在微博提到：“疫情期间，学妹学弟全回家了进行线上课。
而今天的毕业典礼更是线上办。
很荣幸受邀当 2020毕业典礼唯一表演嘉宾。
为了鼓励和恭喜大家，我爬到了山顶高唱校歌《群山》。
这首是1859年毕业的Washington Gladden的学生创作。
有意义的是他非常反对当年的奴隶制，说是种族歧视，也认为无论肤色人人都该平等。”
这个信息给很多人带去鼓励，很多粉丝留言说：
“我收到了你的毕业祝福[泪][泪][泪][泪][泪][泪]希望未来我可以继续努力[心]”

祝学弟学妹们前程似锦”
“在你的歌声里获得Love&Peace。”
“能感受到的辽阔！
爱也应该是这样，不分种族，不分肤色，人人平等。
[心][心][心]”
