Character evaluation

Wang Dawen has a long, thin, one eyelid Oriental face. His dress is clean and humorous. When he sings the song just the way you are, his voice is warm and plain. (Sohu music review) Wang Dawen's excellent performance in the musical "go left, go right" has won the recognition of the majority of music fans, especially the students. In music, he devotes himself to all aspects of creation and gains rich fruits through hard work on the music road. He sings the contradiction and sweetness of love, touches the alienated interpersonal interaction, deconstructs sensitive cultural differences, criticizes but is not sharp, and talks about love but not sensational. He shows a unique Wang Dawen to the public with music. On the stage, he exudes sincere warm male feeling, such as "big brother in the love song world". His gentle and shy nature is deeply loved by all walks of life. Wang Dawen, who has outstanding performance in both creation and musical, shows us his unlimited possibilities and musical potential.
