Character evaluation

The lyrics of Zhang Chu's songs have a strong flavor of modern poetry, implicit and profound. He uses the lyrics as a marginal literary form to express his thinking and experience. His songs are particularly sentimental, rich and boundless, and his music and words are produced as a whole (Tencent Entertainment review).

By writing songs, creating, performing and photographing, Zhang Chu greatly feels the comfort and beauty of life in various ways, and conveys the quiet beauty and strength that his pure and sensitive heart can perceive to every free soul loyal to the ideal and beloved life in the form of poetic light lyrics and warm and pure melody music, and gets great joy from it (Netease Entertainment review).

Zhang Chu, Xu Wei and Zheng Jun are called "three swordsmen" in Xi'an. With Dou Wei, He Yong and Tang Dynasty Band, they went to Hong Kong for the concert of "Chinese rock and roll power", which caused a sensation and opened up the heyday of Chinese rock and roll. Unlike other rock singers, Zhang Chu's songs are especially sentimental, rich, boundless, implicit and profound. His voice is also remembered in a popular song "sister" (Xinhua, Phoenix Art, Sohu News Review).
