BEIJING, Nov. 11 -- Chinese rock veteran Zheng Jun has decided to end years of silence in music and again bring his voice out this winter.

    A big concert named "Warmly Cry", which will feature the rocker's ten years of music on rock scene, will be staged at Worker's Gymnasium on December 3.     

    It is also the first big concert ever held by Zheng Jun since he started his career with his first hit album "Naked" eleven years ago.

    Zheng Jun said that he will pull 26 song from his five albums for the concert, including "With Nothing" ,"Cinderella" and "Back to Lhasa" to perform.

    As a veteran rocker but with only five albums on the streets, Zheng admits that this output is far from prodigious.     

    "For a person living on music, four albums is a ridiculously small number," he says. "But I don't really care. I think music is not only entertaining, but instead a genre of art. My work is a meditation on our lives and dreams."     

    In recent years, the rocker ended his contract with EMI, opened a bar and appeared in the film "My Heart Flies," directed by the well-known songwriter Gao Xiaosong, wrote a novel and had a daughter. He explains that he is a freelancer besides a singer.

    The artist's maiden novel titled "Kitchen Knife-Wen Nuan" has just hit the bookshelves recently. It is a novel based on his own experience as the lead singer in a rock band with a black humor and sarcastic tone.     
"Freedom is what I always look for life. Like a wild horse, I would never want to be reined by anything," he said.     

    "The man who lived like an ordinary husband in a family is the last man that could happen to me."     

    His latest album, "Life Is Full of Sunshine," in late October -- his fifth album, features adapted versions of Chinese pop songs spanning from the 1960s to the 1980s.     

    The rocker holds on to the idea that he is on the cutting edge of the mainstream, and likes to find parallels with the American band Nirvana in their later years.
