World needs to hear our music

Six years ago, I went to the Roskilde Festival as a volunteer working for the international camp. It was the first time for me to witness such a huge collection of big bands and crazy fans.

I saw bands from Europe, America and Africa. My only regret was that there weren't any Chinese people with whom to share the excitement. I wondered why we didn't have the same kind of events back in China. People in China need it and we should bring Chinese bands to festivals in other countries such as Roskilde, I thought at the time. I knew we certainly had enough talented musicians to share and show with the rest of the world.

Later on I learned that the whole summer is a festival season for Europeans. Stages and tents are set up all over the continent.
