This episode of Danwei Music is about experimental musician Wu Fei. She is a classically-trained musician who plays the guzheng, one of China’s most ancient string instruments. Wu is a Beijinger but now lives in the United States, where she furthered her music studies and recorded her first solo album “A Distant Youth.” This episode includes footage of her recent China tour, playing improvisational music with other experimental musicians and by herself in the courtyard of her family’s Beijing apartment.

The video is also viewable on Tudou (中文字幕), which should be faster if you’re in China. Both videos are subtitled in Chinese and English. All Danwei TV programs are also archived at Danwei.tv.
