Lee-Hom Wang, David Tao continue "China Wind"

Lee-Hom Wang and David Tao's songs accelerate the development of "China Wind" music, showing that "China Wind" is not Jay Chou;s personal preference. Tao's "Susan Said" in 2005 involved traditional Chinese opera element, which associate this R&B singer with Beijing Opera. Lee-Hom's new album has two "China Wind" songs: Zai Mei Bian(whose idea is from Kunqu Opera" The Peony Pavilion") and Hua Tian Cuo（which has a Beijing Opera background）.

Actually, the predecessor of Lee-Hom's song Hua Tian Cuo is Beijing Opera. The song -which uses as much as 9 musical instruments-is unlike the previous "China Wind" songs which only add some Chinese music instruments or Chinese poetry. The song is even sung in the way of Beijing Opera. Different ways of singing, such as Rap singing, R&B singing, Beijing Opera singing are integrated in this album. In the previous "China Wind" music, lyrics play a major part, but in this album, singing is the protagonist.

Jay Chao promises "A 'China Wind' song is a must in every of my album".

Worries about "China Wind"

Jay Chou, Lee-Hom Wang and David Tao perfectly combine the long history of China and pop music and announce that- Only that which is the world's, then will be the nation's. But at the same time, we should pay attention to their experiences: Tao moved to US when he was a teenager; Lee-Hom is an ABC; Jay studied classical piano from a young age. Western music has big impact on them, whose experiences cannot be copied. Their successors, such as JJ Lin and Kenji Wu, are following them lack of any innovation. While in the Mainland, because of the immature music market, musicians cannot accurately grasp the development of "Chinese and Western Combination".

"China Wind" also warn us that in the process of learning from western music, we should know and respect our national music. Otherwise, there will be more and more copying and plagiarism.
