When the lead singer (主唱者) Shin (Su Jianxin) left to go solo (单飞) about a year ago, the rock
band got a huge shock. But the other members: guitarist Chris, drummer Michael, keyboard player Tomi,
and bass player Xiaohua still believe in themselves. They stay to-gether and don't change the band's name.
Recently the band is in Beijing to promote their new song "The Heart Never Dies". The power of their
sing-ing shows how strongly they want to keep the band alive.
They're also looking for a new singer. "We want someone with a special voice and personality," said
Michael. "Anyone with talent is welcome to have a try."
Fans come to welcome the band and show their support (支持). The loss of Shin doesn't seem to
have influnced their passion. The band's song writing and great live performances mean more to us than
Shin's high voice.
