if my memory serves me correctly, 杨一 is the guy who singing in front of "china national museum of fine arts"every day, i saw him there since 1998, but i don't know his current condition.

Thanks, cometrue. When was the last time you saw him? Is it true that he performed there everyday? What do you think about his performance? If you have time, please do drop a few line. I am interested.

Some music by 崔建 Cui Jian is here. There's a lot more music on that site, yuedui.com.

'一无所有' is his most famous song, it was very popular with the students on Tiananmen Square in 1989.

oh, maybe i should've said he performed there sometimes; the last time at least 2 years ago, i think his music is nice, maybe we should call him as china's bob dylan since they are alike. i mean both hippies. and i have heard his version of "blowing in the wind", not bad!

I wonder why anyone hasn't mentioned Cui Jian's official website here.. www.cuijian.com , which is a good place to find updated news, pics, samples etc. about Cui Jian. A good resource. If someone has mentioned the site here, I guess I just didn't notice it.

Someone reported a post in this thread, to say they know a lot about Yang Yi and ask if it is still relevant. Sure, post it! There is not a lot of information about Yang Yi in this thread and I imagine he's not easy to google, so post away.

 

Posting this answer here, since the person who reported is not a member of the forums (yet), so I can't send them a message ?

More recent pics I've seen of him he had a shaved head and robes that made it look like he's taken a religious vow.
