Cui Jian

Cui Jian or Choi Geon (; ; born 2 August 1961) is a Chinese singer-songwriter and musician. Affectionately called "Old Cui" (), he is credited with pioneering Chinese rock music. For this distinction he is often labeled the "Father of Chinese Rock". He is also known in the Chinese rock music industry as a "leader in promoting the true singing movement" and the "first person in Chinese rock".

Cui is an idealist who loathed money and commerce. He fantasized that rock 'n roll could rebuild young people's "red idealism". A white baseball cap with a bright red star is his symbol.

Cui Jian's melodies and songs are always full of reflections on the history of the motherland, insisting on introspection of the state of life, and full of infinite longing for a "utopian" beautiful future. Provided by Wikipedia
