Songwriter plans to take Year of the Horse literally

Veteran songwriter and producer Luan Shu found himself in a dilemma all of last year.

He had a full schedule for music, flying between cities playing in a live band for popular reality TV show I Am a Singer, producing albums for big names like Na Ying and Chyi Chin, and making the music for director Feng Xiaogang's latest comedy Personal Tailor.

However, as a professional equestrian athlete, he could barely squeeze out time to take care of his stud farm at the outskirts of Beijing. He would drive hours to get there in the middle of the night because he missed it so much.
