Daolang, whose real name is Luo Lin, is from Zizhong, Sichuan. In 2004, his album "The First Snow in 2002" became popular all over the country, but after becoming popular overnight, he once chose to "escape". After his "comeback" in early 2006, he faded out of public view again in 2013. In July 2023, Daolang, who had been "quiet" for ten years, returned with his new album "The Song of the Mountain", which once again became an overnight sensation. Among them, the song "Rakshasa Sea" even hit the screens of many music platforms.

After updating some music works on his personal account on the short video platform, on December 6, 2023, Daolang released a video stating that updates would be temporarily suspended, ranging from one year to two or three years. Because he still has three album plans, which requires him to spend a lot of time doing field work, accumulating and thinking.

It walks in the dust of the northwest, waiting under the northern sky, The longing that cannot be seen beyond the horizon remains in the vast hearts of the people in the northwest. It flows along the river south, listening to the stories on the other side, and grows into a wave with temperament... Folk songs are not just mountains and songs, they are also songs. Men and women, good and evil, ideals and reality. It can pass through the land and span time. Folk songs are the most powerful joys, sorrows and joys of the people. "
