It will be his first concert in Beijing for 12 years. ����

When asked about whether his attitude and faith towards music have changed in these years, Cui said that his sceptical attitude to rock music still remains. ����

He expressed that he attaches more importance to the essence of music nowadays, but not the form of music. ����

He also expressed his delight for the successful result of the Live Vocals Movement which was initiated and organised by him. ����The Live Vocals Movement appeals for actually singing and not merely lip-synching at commercial performances. ����

The Commercial Performance Administrative Rules have been passed by the Ministry of Culture in July. ����

His concert, entitled "Dream in the Sunshine", hits the Capital Gymnasium in Beijing on August 24. ����
