However, music is a universal language, I hope to get the essence of both Eastern and Western cultures and write more works that embody my temperament and spirit in the new society, to improve the understandings between peoples from different cultural backgrounds, for the peace of our new world. Since I speak out naturally in my mother tongue, in my music there is Chinese blood, Chinese philosophy and customs. Regarding my compositional style, I believe that language can be translated into music. An honest composer should learn to choose and adjust the yardstick, to lay a solid foundation with relatively stable principles, which he or she can build the creative work on. As to the music composition, it reflects the precipitation of a composer's cultural and psychological construct. They keep changing at every moment and interact with others, so that each experience that we come across can become the source and exciting medium of our creation. The modern society is like a complex network, everything exists in equal rights under different cultures, environments and conditions.
