Character evaluation of Uncle Gem
Gem abandoned various imported methods and used rap to create the typical image of "Uncle". He is a lonely passerby in the post-industrial era, a "cowardly" ordinary person with typical Northeastern humor, and at the same time, he is also a very earthy but very real person. At the same time, he is also a musician who has experienced the hardships of life and made some concessions to his ideals; the "old uncle" he portrays is a low-income person from the Northeast to Guangzhou who has no aspirations.
When he sang the song "Little Treasure", he showed his "warmth" side that is rarely known. He integrated his personal experiences and emotions into the creation of this song. The uniqueness of the song was sung with a unique voice.
