Character evaluation
Ma Kai is a young man with an inch, playing the guitar on the stage and singing those slightly sad songs (Phoenix Entertainment review). In the eyes of music fans, Ma Kai is first and foremost a poet. Deeply influenced by Gu Cheng, Haizi and other poets in the 1980s, Ma Kai may not have the ambition to be a poet. He just uses the soul and talent of a poet to refine life into sentences. In this age when no one reads poetry, he uses songs as a medium to sing the theme of eternal love (Sohu review).
Ma Kai is a new force that spontaneously rises in the folk, independent of the mainstream vision and evaluation system. He is true, sincere, energetic and creative. Ma's temperament is unique, his expression is direct and simple, and his singing is deep and simple.
