Character Evaluation

Excellent academic performance and fruitful participation awards can only show that she is an excellent student or craftsman, not yet a performer or artist. To be an artist one must have one's own unique creation.

2011 was a year of exploration for Hao Ru. On the one hand, he joined the ViVA-Girls, a top Chinese folk music ensemble dedicated to the "use of Western styles in China". The group consists of more than a dozen beautiful folk musicians, most of them from the Central Conservatory of Music, the highest music academy, and each of them has won numerous prizes in various high-profile competitions, in addition to having an international creative team.

In addition to its artistic value, the Yale Ensemble also has great commercial value, whether in terms of cultural connotation, members' education or appearance. On the other hand, it has cooperated with pop music giants such as Jay Chou, Xu Song, and Shin Band. First, they were invited by the famous Taiwanese lyricist Fang Wenshan to participate in the first leg of the China Wind tour and performed "Smoke and Fireworks" and "East Wind Breaks" with Jay Zhou on the same stage.

Then, he was invited to collaborate with Letter Orchestra on six China Wind tracks, including "One Night in Beijing", "Song of Departure", and "Emotional Grief", in a concert at Beijing's Worker's Stadium.

In 2014, he participated in the guzheng playing of "Between Mountains and Waters" in Xu Song's fifth album "How About Eating Tea".
