Happy Avenue (幸福大街 in Chinese; pinyin: Xìng Fú Dà Jiē or Xìngfú Dàjiē; sometimes translated as Lucky Road) is a Chinese rock band based in Beijing[/placefor,ed], China, founded in September 1999. Members include 吴虹飞 (Wú Hóngfēi) on vocals, 耿放 (Gěng Fàng) and 李维岩 (Lǐ Wéiyán) on guitars, 周琦 (Zhōu Qí) on bass guitar, and 田坤 (Tián Kūn) on drums. Wu originally also played acoustic guitar in the group before deciding early on to focus strictly on vocals. The original bass player, 胜 (Shèng), was replaced by 蒋荣 (Jiǎng Róng) in June 2000, and Jiang was eventually replaced by Zhou.
Wu Hongfei (surname Wu, b. 1978), Happy Avenue’s vocalist and leader, is a graduate of Beijing’s prestigious Qinghua University, with bachelor’s degrees in environmental engineering and the editing of scientific books, and an M.A. degree in modern Chinese literature (although she primarily studied western literature). Also the group’s only female member, she has the distinction of being China’s best known female rock singer. Originally from the southern Chinese province of Guizhou and a member of the Dong ethnic minority, Wu is also a magazine journalist and a published novelist. Her lyrics range from lighthearted, absurdist vignettes (like “The Orange Who Wished to Be an Apple”) to darker and more melancholy meditations on subjects such as death, alienation, and longing. “Daughter” deals with the issues surrounding unwed motherhood. Some other songs feature literary subject matter; “The Fish Who Loved Xiaolong” tells the story of a mermaid who gives up her tail in order that she might be able to leave the sea and marry a human.
