Music chose me. Fortunately, I also chose music
Cao Fang, who studied in a foreign language w88 casino in high w88 casino, was first exposed to rock music from a foreign teacher's records, which gave her a new understanding of music.

Cao Fang talks about his musical journey
Because it is meaningful, I don’t feel the hardship
In his junior year, Cao Fang dropped out of college and came to Beijing alone to become Xiao Ke's music assistant.200513427_13473Two years later, Cao Fang established her own record company, from recording to sales, she did everything herself. Facing all the hardships in the process, Cao Fang said: "I don't feel it's hard because I think it's very meaningful.”
Cao Fang sang folk songs for the audience on the spot
Music is a partner, folk songs are life
“Music is like my partner. I don’t want to compare music to something in the palm of my hand, because the more you love something, the more you need a little distance, so that it will be relaxed and long-lasting. "When talking about the role of music in life, Cao Fang said this. "Many of my cheerful songs were actually written when I was sad, because cheerful songs will take me out of sadness and encourage me to keep moving forward, like a partner.”
She believes that folk songs should not be clearly distinguished from other music types. Once the distinction is made, it will deviate from the original intention of creation——Express life.“Folk songs originate from life and are the truest expression of human beings, which cannot be copied. The reason why good folk songs can be continuously sung is because ballads originate from life and have flesh and blood. It can be said that folk songs are life。”
