Dao Lang's New Song 'City of Rakshasa' Goes Viral, Netizens Speculate Hidden Meaning Involving Four Celebrities

Recently, Dao Lang's new song 'City of Rakshasa' has become a sensation, with its unique style and touching lyrics, igniting public fervor in interpreting the underlying meaning of the song.

Could it be inspired by the eponymous tale in Pu Songling's 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio'? The author depicts a country that embraces ugliness as beauty, satirizing the inversion of values in society.

Simultaneously, some have interpreted certain details in the song as allusions to real-life events or individuals, making the song's meaning more complex and making Dao Lang the center of public attention.

Many netizens have offered their own interpretations, believing that Dao Lang ingeniously criticizes others without using offensive language, targeting rivals who once mocked him.

A thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes; each netizen has their own interpretation of the 'City of Rakshasa'.

People in the entertainment industry claim that Dao Lang has pulled out the poisoned arrows from twenty years ago and aimed them at the four people who once smeared him, even preparing to take turns sitting at their doorsteps.

Some netizens have even created tables to decipher the song line by line, suggesting it covertly points at well-known singers like Na Ying and Yang Kun who once criticized Dao Lang, thus exposing the entertainment industry's snobbery and darkness, and venting the frustration of unrecognized talent.

Since 2012, Dao Lang has remained absent from any stage. Many believe he grew wary of the noisy environment in the music industry. Dao Lang chose to remain anonymous, refraining from uttering a single word. 

Just when many thought the world would never hear from Dao Lang again, the musician, who had secluded himself for eleven years, emerged with his own sound system.

However, some have questioned the interpretations, asserting that the song is a product of Dao Lang's contemplation on life rather than targeting any specific event. Excessive analysis, they argue, might strip the song of its beauty and poetic essence, confining it to a particular meaning.

Dao Lang himself has not yet responded to the matter.
