Archive material and source history
Xu Wei is a Chinese singer-songwriter who started writing songs as a teenager in Nanjing. He released his debut album 'Blue Sky' in 1990, but it was his 1994 album 'The Way You Are' that brought him wider attention. The title track from that album, 'The Way You Are (Ceng Jing de Ni)', became particularly well-known.
His music has been described as blending rock and folk elements, though some early critics found his lyrics unconventional and his melodies on the somber side. He continued releasing albums like 'The Storm' in 1998 and 'Dust of Time' in 2005.
Xu Wei has worked with musicians including guitarist Qu Zhilin, bassist Liu Li, drummer Li Qiang, and keyboardist Zhao Lei. His later albums include 'Walk Together' from 2010 and 'The Way Home' from 2019.
