    An interesting Chinese male vocalist, Zuoxiao Zuzhou. His music reminded me of 50s French chanson singer, Serge Gainsbourg. Both sang out of tune. but Zuoxiao Zuzhou is more political. I wish I could read his lyrics..
    (Type his name in youtube, his music along with English translation and performance in Netherlands could be viewed.)

    According to NPR (attached), one of turn starts with "One group of corrupt officials takes down another group of corrupt officials, and that's anti-corruption / A group of despots roots out another group of despots, and that's beating the mafia."
    He commented, "It is not about Chongqing." "It's not about one place in China. This is happening all over the country, in every county, in every town."
