“Hip-hop is more than just a type of culture – to me, it’s an inextinguishable spirit of being. It’s characterized by power, staunchness, purity, sexuality, freedom, desire, courage, and a distinctly modern and urban history full of blood and tears. Hip-hop stands tall as a unique spiritual symbol bursting with connotation in our everyday lives and modern culture. As a kind of collision of western culture and traditional Chinese culture, hip-hop’s arrival in China has had an intense influence on me and my generation, and, because of its unique charm, it will continue to inspire more and more people to adopt its tenets…”
