So I set out to make a record store that looks like my house. Youdai Records opened in the summer of 1996, with the widest selection of Chinese rock records and memorabilia in Beijing. Huge posters of Cui Jian, Tang Dynasty and others adorn the walls. CD racks on one side display Beijing music, while the opposite wall offers classic rock and jazz, along with samplings of the hottest alternative bands from around the world, plus music magazines from the U.S. and Europe. Still, it's important that people are playing it.
Music has power here.
