Information

The following is the official comment on An Ideal's release: "Staying ordinary in an extraordinary world, with his (Ronghao Li) music, slowly disintegrating the veil of lies we've been wearing. They call it an ideal, something extraordinary, but at the same time ordinary. Even though stumbled over rocks and lost our ways in the mist, it doesn't mean it's over. Living in the day, living in the night, venturing through this metropolis, we all see things with our own way. But why not observe our world with Ronghao Li's perspective. See things in a new way. See loneliness in a new way. See sadness in a new way. In a brighter way. And sing our ideals."[2]
