DO you live your life according to strict rules? Do those around you like to give you instructions or advice?
It may be helpful to listen to their voices, but Taiwanese pop star Ken Wu (吴克群) also prefers to follow his own heart and emotions. "The best thing for everyone is to live in a natural way," he said, "You don't need too much considerations or burden on your mind. Be who you are."
He showed up on April 20 in Beijing to give love and care to the children with hearing disabilities at a Nokia charity event. "Music is a big part of my life. I couldn't imagine days without it," he said, "One of my friends has a passion for singing, but unfortunately lost his hearing — it's a painful experience. So I wish to bring beautiful sound back to those kids who can't hear."
Wu also talks to Teens about his new single Laotze Says (《老子说》), which was released in Taiwan on April 26. He says that he admires the wisdom of the ancient philosopher (哲人), and agrees with things advocated in Tao Te Ching (道德经), like living naturally.
"In this song, I just encourage young people to have their own path in life," he said, "They can decide what they want to be like."
Wu has always been inventive in his music style. He refuses to stay on the same track for a long period of time.
At first glance, the name of the song Laotze Says follows that of the last hit General order (《将军令》), but Wu says that the two songs have very different styles.
"The new song is not the Chinese traditional style. Instead, it's electronic music," he said, "I'll never be satisfied by following the same route. I'll keep trying new things and seeking after variety (变化) in my work." |
