Features: Reading this book feels quite fresh, as many of the characters and events discussed are familiar to me, and some are even from my own era. To others, they might just be simple words, but to me, they carry lingering echoes to this day. Chinese popular music, on the surface, is a grand topic, but for those who live within it, it's like a small village where you see familiar faces everywhere. When it comes to the stories within, few people can speak from the perspective of someone from my generation. I believe Zhaojun definitely qualifies, and he's particularly suited for it.
