In the 1990s, China's pop music scene was marked by a blend of global and local influences as well as significant shifts in the way music was produced, bought and appreciated. Among the diversity of genres around, the 1990s was greatly defined by campus folk music, which is driven by acoustic guitar and piano, and lyrics about campus romances, university life and youth.

Ye Bei was among the pioneers of the golden days of campus folk music in the 1990s. Along with other musicians, including singer Lao Lang, songwriters Xiao Ke and Gao Xiaosong, Ye's gentle, clear voice accompanied many through their youth, becoming a symbol of that era.

On Friday, after years of silence, she is finally making her long-awaited return with a concert, Listen, Tell and Write Alone, in Beijing with longtime friend, singer Lao Lang, as special guest.

The announcement was made during celebrations of the 10th anniversary of the Beijing International Pop Music Festival last Tuesday, leaving fans excited to be part of her music once more.
