Today, she once again uses "this kind of music" to start a new musical journey, without similarities and coincidences, and uses the spiritual music of self-created symbols to interpret the attitude proposition of life. She is no longer the "Dragon Wide Nine Duan" or the "Queen of Lohas", she is just a big girl who wants to sing.
Long Kuan's studio is located in a small brown building at the end of a small brown building in a neighborhood on the east side of Beijing. The studio has a small yard of his own, where Long Kuan grows sunflowers and vegetables he likes to eat. In the corner of the yard there is also a row of brightly colored small houses for stray cats.
One hot afternoon, our filming team broke the tranquility here. Long Kuan and her friends warmly welcomed us with their own summer herbal tea.
In the corner of the restaurant area, a whole dead tree that had been discarded as garbage stood there, and it was covered with green roses hanging down to the second floor and revitalized. Everyone had to sit in the discarded tire-made chair in the doorway, not to mention the childlike rocking horse at the table. Colorful staircases connecting one dream after another lead you up to the second floor, and even the basement where the materials are stored has a surprise, with a sandbag named "Kicked Man" by Long Kuan silently poking in the middle.
The studio has a cool name – Haku Na MaTa, hakuna Matata is a word in Swahili. Kuna means "to have", hakuna means "nothing", and matata is the plural form of "annoyance". Hakuna Matata's translation is: No worries, don't worry. This sentence was once popular around the world because of the global hit of the Disney movie "The Lion King" released in 1994. In the movie, Timon and Pengpeng use this sentence to encourage Simba, who has lost his father, and this sentence is also the philosophy of Life of Dingman and Pengpeng.
Every day, Long Kuan and her friends create dreams in this studio. Nutritious lunches every day; movie sharing every Friday afternoon; picnics by the lake in good weather; volunteering once a month; annual trips abroad; overtime days to bring your family, and delicious, healthy, organic meals. There is also a former stray cat Sansan who loves the camera and generously receives every guest.

At the age of 18, in order to pursue the boy of his choice, Long Kuan went to the United Kingdom alone, and made many musicians there, signed independent Labels in Europe, and also released an album, released three singles, and toured most of Europe. Her footprints have traveled to Ireland, Serbia, Kosovo, Romania, Egypt and many other places. Traveling alone is a great pleasure for Dragon Kuan. In an unnamed town in France, she actually "chatted" with a deaf person for most of the night, and two people who could hardly communicate finally saw a spark of understanding in each other's eyes, and when they were separated, Long Kuan wrote a big word "precious" in English on the paper, and the deaf also smiled and waved to her.
In Romania, she sang local songs with mentally handicapped girls in orphanages. The girl is naturally out of the house with a lot of trouble, and Long Kuan has also met some ill-intentioned guys, she laughed and said:

Officially established in February 2002, Long kuan jiu duan consists of Tian Peng, the soul of the electronic orchestra supermarket, and Long Kuan, who had just returned from the UK at the time. Long Kuan served as the lead singer and composer, and Tian Peng served as guitarist, arranger and producer. On September 15, 2004, Long Kuan Jiu Duan officially released his debut album "I Love You The Most When I Listen to This Kind of Music", becoming the most high-profile newcomer in the mainland music scene in 2004. On March 20, 2005, at the Fifth Music Chart Awards Ceremony, Long Kuan Jiu Duan won a total of many awards such as the Best Newcomer Award and the Most Popular Album in the Mainland, but because of dissatisfaction with several rock awards awarded by the organizers, Jiu Duan Tian Peng unexpectedly said a sentence when receiving the Best Newcomer Award and delivering an acceptance speech: It is precisely because of this sentence that directly led to the dissolution of Long Kuan Jiu Duan.
After the dissolution of Long Kuan Jiu Duan, Long Kuan began his life before becoming an artist, going to India and many other places. Therefore, Long Kuan also went to apply for a kindergarten teacher training class, and finally almost became a kindergarten teacher.

Long Kuan began to focus his life on traveling around the world and protecting the earth. Designing her own TEE, publishing books, setting up studios, advocating vegetarianism and a complementary lifestyle around all of this, this oriental girl with crescent eyes saw the whole world so gorgeous, the self-satisfied spiritual world provided a steady stream of nourishment for her own small universe, the sensual artistic talent is the medium of conveying emotions and information, and Long Kuan, obviously, found her own life band.
After her last performance in 2010, Long Kuan announced her withdrawal again, and in the following years she volunteered for autistic children and stray dogs, held 12 Lohas Bazaar charity sales, and raised more than 60,000 yuan for stray animal rescue, blind child schools, Antarctic anti-whaling and street homeless people. Traveled to 10 countries, painted 127 pictures, translated 6 books, and completed an introductory course in communicating with animals. After three months of working as a decorator, he learned skills such as painting, carpentry, and farming. I went to the garbage dump 28 times and made 23 pieces of furniture out of the garbage I picked up. And these furniture filled her current studio "Haku Na Ma Ta He".
Long Kuan said: "Once I saw a sentence: Those who have lofty ideals have their own ways, and those who have no aspirations only feel that it is difficult. Joke with the studio friends that we must have come from all directions, but unfortunately, many friends are from the difficult stars. There have been many times when I have heard people say: I envy you so much. I want to live freely like you, I want to chase my dreams, but, but I can't do this, I still need that. I have also been asked many times, why can you have such a good time every day, live so freely, why can you live like a queen? What is your source of livelihood? It is as if people should be born like slaves to die of exhaustion, which is a normal life. Another time, someone asked me: I am no different from others, all the opportunities and miracles that have happened to me, all that I have, just because of a simple password. What you want, you will have. If you're not living the life you want, just because you don't really want it. ”
In 2014, the free and casual Long Kuan completed his own cartoon, found a group of like-minded people, recycled all kinds of waste materials to build his own studio, Happy Residence has been decided, and Long Kuan, who has always been a child, decided: he wants to come back to sing. The real beauty has stood the consideration of time, and this clear and calm voice has not changed.
