The
annual activities like the Midi Modern Music Festival in Beijing attracts tens
of thousands of visitors, there is also a Snow Mountain Music Festival in Yunan
province 2002. The term Chinese Woodstock has been thrown around the Western

The
recent rock music is cantered almost entirely in Beijing and Shanhai and has a
very limited power over Chinese society. Wuhan and Sichuan are sometimes seen
as pockets of rock music culture as well. It is pointed to a significant
cultural, political and social difference that exist between China, the West or

years, the milestone that put the kind on the international map is when Cui
Jian played with the Rolling Stones in 2003 at the age of 42.
