The musician known as the king of western songs is Wang Luobin.

Wang Luobin (December 28, 1913 ~ March 14, 1996), a national musician in China, was a heavyweight disseminator of western folk songs, and was known as "the king of western songs" and "the father of folk songs". He graduated from the Music Department of National Beiping Normal University (now Beijing Normal University) in 1934. In 1938, due to the adaptation of the Xinjiang folk song "The Girl in Dabancheng", she became attached to the western folk songs. Since then, she has lived in the northwest for nearly 6 years, and made great contributions to exploring minority music and communicating music exchanges between the northwest and the mainland.

The works created and adapted by Wang Luobin are smooth and fresh, and still have high aesthetic value today. His representative works include The Girl in Dabancheng, Dance Music for Youth, Lift up your hijab, Alamu Khan, Half Moon Climbing Up, In that faraway place, etc.

Wang Luobin's character evaluation:

1. People's Network Evaluation: Wang Luobin's contribution to the excavation of western folk songs can be described as a historic contribution. In fact, the form of most minority folk songs themselves is not suitable for wide spread. The biggest feature of Wang Luobin's folk songs is that they have the characteristics of national music and endow Han poetry with charm, beauty and catchiness.

2. China * * * news network comments: Wang Luobin took root in the northwest and dedicated his youth, talent and even his whole life to northwest folk songs. Even in the face of misfortune and suffering, he has no regrets. Today, hundreds of northwest folk songs exist, most of which were rescued, excavated, inherited, created and arranged by Wang Luobin.
