Strawberry Music Festival in Beijing, May 3, 2025

A decade ago, going to a music festival in China was mostly about punk, rock & roll, and cathartic pogo. These days, festivals are mellower. And it’s more about going to somewhere new to unwind, kick back, and enjoy good music.

One of the good things about music festivals is that they remind you there’s still room for dreams and longing—even in their commercialized form.

👋 Hi Bluesky! I'm Qin (pronounced keen), here to share nerdy observations about China's ever-changing life and society.

Former China reporter, video journalist, now tech content mkter in Shanghai (my hometown), still learning about China even though I grew up here.
