Chinese singer and songwriter Li Jian will give his “Not Only Li Jian” concert Nov. 23. Li’s songs are described as “borderless, which portrays not only love between a man and a woman but also love for friends, homeland and humanity.” The ballad singer’s poetic lyrics left music fans nostalgic for their campus days. In the world of miscellaneous music, Li stands out for his sensitive musicality and his perseverance that helps him reach where he wants to be. In 2010, pop queen Faye Wong made a graceful comeback at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, belting out the poetic song “Legend.” The song soon became a national hit and few people knew it was composed by Li in 2002 and featured on his album “Evanescence of Life.” Although Li’s CD didn’t have much impact a few years back, this time around the song soon topped various radio stations and net portal charts. Contrasting with his soft-spoken personality now, Li was known on university campus for his rocker image even as an engineering student.
