Xu said, "Producing an album reminds me of school. No matter how it goes, I don't want to be a person stressed by work, or daily life. I would like to keep my happiness and innocence. Making an album is like doing homework to me. I concentrate on the job and have fun afterwards."
The first hit of the album, "Story" has caused controversy. Some say it is typical Xu Wei, and some say he fails to breakthrough. To Xu, making music of his own is satisfying and fulfilling at the age of 40.
Xu said, "I've been in this circle for so many years and now I've realized that I won't do abstract music. I will write the songs that are close to life that everyone can feel it. Every album is a blessing to life and to all the people."
The music path of Xu Wei can be simply divided into three phases. The music he made in each phase is a mirror of his art and lifestyle.
