Voice of Music-lover

Voice of Music-lover




In 2016, I created and now have managed the original WeChat (also: Weixin) Subscription Account, “Voice of Music-lover” (Formal name in Traditional Chinese: 音樂心聲Music, Formal name in Simplified Chinese: 音乐心声Music) and its WeChat ID is “Music_52099”.

There are more than 400 original articles and videos posted (updated in May 2022).

The main purpose

To share music with audiences, classical, pop, jazz, folk, rock and roll and other types of music at home and abroad. Furthermore, I also write articles, commentaries and reviews on songs and music in English and Chinese (traditional and simplified), as well as introduction, background and analysis.

Music events are normally organized once a month. Hundreds of musicians and audiences (Americas, Asia, Europe, Oceania) attended and watched events.

In successfully staging events, I have to manage multiple tasks in parallel. I edit and translate posts in this official account in both English and Chinese (traditional and simplified). Moreover, I also photographs and helped with video recording during the event after getting permission from audiences. I edited photos and videos, and wrote articles to publish them.

Motto: It is not only an English speech activity, but also a place where you can berth your heart. The name of this platform obtained inspiration from an American friend, “It would be great if you can organize such events because it is more than an English event, but a place for people to enjoy the freedom of speech and relax themselves”.
