Faye's favourate 《 Fu Zao 》Faye's favourate 《 Fu Zao 》

• The album 《 Fu Zao 》 was a good example. In the album she took many artistic risks,so the album contains mainly her own compositions.

• Although the sales volume was not good, it was Faye's favourate album.I think this is why Faye Wang was called Faye Wong. It is very important for every star to have their own thoughts and styles.
