Character evaluation

Yu Dong is a rare musical talent (Sina review). Yu Dong has a shy and stubborn look, with a slightly roaring voice. As long as the guitar is delivered to his hand, from the fingertips of the strings, from his voice, there will be refreshing songs. Yu Dong's people are as gentle, silent and shy as his name. The gloomy melody of winter in Beijing can always bring people into a gray and cold winter day peculiar to Beijing, and there is a kind of sensitivity and gloom from real life experience in Yu Dong's works. Yu Dong has his own way of thinking. He experiences all kinds of scenes and experiences, and then turns them into his own music. Yu Dong's thinking and expression are indeed different from ordinary people, rather than pretending. His humor is very unique, usually to simplify things, contact more directly, resulting in exaggeration and unexpected funny results (China Education Online Review).
