Named 'Chunfen Shiqin Tu' in Chinese, Dou Wei's album came out on March 20th and public attention has been building since then.

Released on the spring equinox according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, the album is filled with the theme of Springtime, which represents vital energy and symbolizes the rebirth of nature.
