At every performance given by Dou Jingtong, including her debut show in Tokyo in 2015, her charisma has also reminded her fans of her parents' legacy.

Dou Jingtong also likes traveling alone. While recording Stone Cafe by collaborating with producers from the United States and Britain, she flew to London and Los Angeles by herself. At the time, she was 16 years old.

With several tattoos, frequent changes of hair color and gender-neutral dressing, Dou Jingtong, by most people's standards, looks rebellious. But in person, she is humble and easygoing.

"I cannot even do roller coaster," she says.
