Features: This book, described by Chen Sheng as "a bucket of strong glue overturned," is his first work in which he presents himself behind the scenes to the editors. In the book, you can read his views on music, creation, travel, and the record industry, as well as many stories about his friends behind his songs. Because of a remark from the recording studio owner, Chen Sheng completed his first album in the awkward situation of not even being able to afford rent, and unexpectedly became a singer. Over the past fifteen years, Chen Sheng has remained true to the slogan of his first album—"If you think I'm a bit strange, it's because I'm too real"—maintaining an honest and sincere heart, as well as a unique musical and personal style. However, when we sing his "Chen-style love songs" in KTV or follow him on tours, we can't help but wonder what magical things Chen Sheng has in his mind that can create such moving and special works and performances.
