Character evaluation

At the beginning of China's reform and opening up, Zhang Qiang was born with the image of explosive head, Batman shirt and bodybuilding pants, becoming the most popular female singer in China in the 1980s. Her dress has an exaggerated alternative fashion style. In China, where pop music has just begun to show its momentum, 16-year-old Zhang Qiang, with an explosive head, has covered many overseas pop songs, becoming a youth idol and representative figure in the early Chinese pop music world.

Zhang Qiang and her songs, as well as her amazing achievements in the 1980s, make people who grew up in the 1980s unforgettable and relish. The taboo and rebellion of that era, the agitation and fanaticism of youth at that time, were all in Zhang Qiang's publicity and unique voice.
