Li Zongsheng has not publicly evaluated Dou Wei, but people in the industry speak highly of him.

In terms of music, Dou Wei is known as: the Van Gogh of the Chinese music industry, who has the elegant character of Qi Baishi's works and the ethereal spirit of Zhan Ziqian's works! Whether in the Black Panthers or the Magic Rock Three, his music is still good. Later, Dou Wei paid more attention to personal things, and there were more experimental elements.

In the later period, Dou Wei did not care about album sales or whether others appreciated it, he only made his own music. His songs did not have lyrics, but he used music to fill in and express his own thoughts. If Dou Wei was a musician in the early stage, he was an artist in the later stage. Just like performance art, he used sound as art.
