	Chinese Rock
		Chinese pop/rock songs had played a role in the 1989 student movement (1) and many of the singers and groups who performed in Tiananmen Square were subsequently harassed and temporarily banned from appearing.
		While the excessive propagation of rock was supposedly forbidden in the Chinese-language media until mid 1992, the capital's bands are so much part and parcel of the expat-ghetto-cum-tourist scene that they were featured in the weekend edition of the China Daily in late 1991.
		As the flagbearer of mainland rock, Cui has felt in the past that it was his task to negotiate performing space for rock as a whole, and perhaps it is in the grey zone of cultural tolerance and coexistence that he continues to perform his most important service.

	Chinese rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The first Chinese rock song was arguably the Northwest Wind anthem "I Have Nothing", first performed in 1986 by Cui Jian, widely recognised as the father of Chinese rock.
		By 1994, Chinese rock was obviously in decline.

	Rocks and Rock Landscapes
		Rock landscapes convey a sense of infinity, generating the feeling of wide open spaces in which the human mind has room to grow and to meander.
		Rocks forming mountains or grottoes, contrasted by water, are an indispensible element in a classical Chinese garden, undoubtedly one of the most unique contributions the Chinese have made to the field of garden construction.
		Rocks have owed the special place accorded to them in the human heart to their shape, color, luster, or to the exquisite sound they emit when struck.

	Words Without Borders -> Power of the Powerless
		Chinese rock star Cui Jian begins his song “The 90s” with the line: “Words are not precise already—can’t express this world clearly.” And in the clarity of that expression, he voices the sentiment of a generation of Chinese youth: China’s inexorable lurch into the twenty-first century made language as dizzying as change itself.
		Chinese Kekou Kele is palatable and pleasurable; its homonyms suggest thirst, delight, and quenching.
		When he created Chinese rock in the 1980s, Cui Jian changed the landscape of youth culture forever, and inspired a new Chinese conversation.

		Extensive Western coverage of the Chinese rock scene has led to complacency by giving many local acts—as vain and attention-hungry as their Western counterparts—an unhealthily inflated sense of their own importance.
		The Western press has assumed that China's rock musicians were forged in the crucible of the 1989 demonstrations and has seen Chinese rock through the lens of 1960s protest politics.
		The overwhelming majority of Chinese musicians who dream of rock stardom aren't interested in politics, though many are perceptive enough to know what Western journalists want to hear and cynical enough to repeat it to them.

	A Brief History of
		Scholars' Rocks is the most common English name given to the small, individual stones that have been appreciated by educated and artistic Chinese at least since the Song dynasty (960-1270).
		They evolved from appreciation of the larger garden rocks, but their smaller size enabled the Chinese literati to carry them indoors where they could be admired and meditated over in their sparse studios.
		Chinese style taihu or lingbi do not need to have flat bottoms because they are displayed in stands that are carved deeper than suiseki stands, and are normally designed to hold the stones securely in an upright, vertical position.

	Rock In China - History of Chinese Rock/Modern Music
		Rock was a big thing both in political and financial terms in the late 80s, but the popularity, the audience, was limited mostly to Beijing's college and university students and some artistic circles.
		Both cut CDs and the Beijing midi school of music stimulated the growth of rock musicians in China and in the capital, until by 1997 the number of rockers was sufficient for the advent of the underground rock community.
		The suicide of Kurt Cobain, the frontman of the Seattle grunge rock band Nirvana, in 1994 was another major event for the underground scene of China, as the music and behaviour of Nirvana influenced the Chinese rock scene thoroughly.

	Japanese Rock, Chinese Mushroom, America in the Cold by Mike Rogers
		China argues that Okinotorishima island, the southernmost island in the Japanese archipelago, is merely a rock, not an island, in an attempt to nullify Japan's claim of an exclusive economic zone around the small island, which is under Tokyo jurisdiction.
		While Beijing acknowledges that Okinotorishima belongs to Japan, it stressed that it did not fall under the classification of an island as defined by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, but is instead a rock, which cannot be used to designate an exclusive economic zone, as the Japanese government has done.

		My first encounter with Chinese rock music came in 1990 at Nanjing University, where I participated in what at the time was China's only program allowing foreign and Chinese students to study and live together in the same dormitory.
		By combining traditional Chinese instruments and melodic sensitivities with the rhythmic and harmonic cadences of Western rock, Cui Jian deserved the title "Father of Chinese Rock Music," as he had come to be known at home.
		I was particularly taken by the lyrical rhythm of "Daughter," a tongue-in-cheek ode to motherhood, daughterhood, and divorce.

		But Chinese musicians, cultural critics and fans say that in entertainment, the government’s thrust seems clear: Harmonious means blandly homogeneous, with virtually all contemporary music on the radio consisting of gentle love songs and uplifting ballads.
		All of it rocks; none of it sounds like any other band on earth; it delivers an emotional punch that proves all other rock stars owe us an apology.
		After piecing together two slow-paced albums in a row in the studio, 1994's Monster was, as Buck said, "a 'rock' record, with the rock in quotation marks." Though the result was conceived as a back-to-basics album, the recording was difficult and plagued with tension.

	Asia Pacific Arts: Cui Jian: Father of Chinese Rock 'N' Roll
		Cui Jian is largely known in China as the father of Chinese rock 'n' roll because of his prominence in the music scene and the 1989 Tiananmen Square student movement.
		Cui Jian is often compared to, depending on the referenced cultural historian, as the Chinese equivalent of John Lennon, Bob Dylan, and Kurt Cobain, among others; given his central influential role in the startup of China's rock scene, these comparisons are apt.
		It's like rock and roll music in China is kind of like the trouble maker so they find some different reasons, so this is probably one of them.
