Watch mysterious man dressed as construction worker playing melodic piano in a Hong Kong shopping mall
The 52-second video posted on Facebook shows man in standard industry uniform playing Christian hymn called Stream of Praise
A video of a mystery man in construction worker garb playing a piano in a Hong Kong shopping mall is doing the rounds on the internet, with viewers awestruck at his talent and the juxtaposition.
The 52-second video posted in the Facebook group “Tseung Kwan O” shows the man in standard industry uniform playing a Christian hymn called Stream of Praise by a Taiwan gospel band of the same name.
The piano at the The Link-owned Sheung Tak Plaza, is etched with King of Kowloon graffiti and is for public use.
The video has garnered more than 12,000 likes since it was posted on the page on Tuesday evening. The user who posted it claimed the man had stopped by the piano during lunch to play two songs, including Pachelbel’s Canon in D.
Internet users said the man had “true musical talent” and “despite his hard outer image, was gentle at heart”, while others called him a “master in disguise” and “the real definition of a romantic”.
A spokeswoman for Link Asset Management, which runs the mall, said the piano was one of six musical instruments in its shopping malls under a campaign called “Play For Free”.
