Peking University graduate Cheng Bi has received a lot of attention since she released her first album in 2012.

Her voice was described as fresh as a cup of green tea by her followers, and her poetic lyrics and light melodies have a soothing effect on listeners' minds.

"I create those songs and take poems as lyrics to comfort myself and also others. Many sounds and voices became my inspirations, such as the drum beating during festivals," Cheng said.
