Singer-songwriter called the father of Chinese rock. His 1986 song 一无所有 (Nothing to My Name) made rock known across China and became an anthem for young people of the late 1980s.
He is ethnic Korean and started out as a trumpeter. He first sang 《一无所有》 on 9 May 1986, at a concert of a hundred pop singers in Beijing's Workers' Gymnasium, and that night is often counted as the birth of Chinese rock.
