Chinese Singer Ziyu Drops “Stellar” — A Charity Ballad for the Hearing-Impaired

On September 26, 2025, Chinese singer Ziyu (also known as Zheng Peng) quietly released a new ballad titled “Stellar”. It’s not just a song — it’s a charity project made in partnership with the China Hearing Medical Development Foundation, under its “Ear Care Action” initiative.

Ziyu’s aim is simple: draw attention to hearing loss, help fund treatments, and support education for millions affected in China. He’s also integrating sign language elements into the project to broaden accessibility.

Fans quickly responded. Across social media, supporters used hashtags, donated, and shared the track in Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and beyond. The song began climbing local charts in some of those markets. (See Ziyu fan channels discussing the release.)

In his messaging, Ziyu expressed humility about the scale of the challenge. He acknowledged that his voice alone can’t fix everything — but he hopes Stellar can open doors: “If just a few more people understand hearing loss better, or help, that means the effort was worth it.”

Critics and fans alike have praised the sincerity behind this release. It bucks the trend of purely commercial singles. However, some remain cautious: will it result in sustained support beyond the first wave of publicity?

Only time will tell whether Stellar becomes more than a moment — whether it leads to long-term change for those with hearing impairments. But for now, Ziyu has used his platform for something more than self-promotion, which is meaningful in its own right.
