Fleeing Eastward 向东逃

Abstract
"Fleeing Eastward" is a journey of escape that begins deep within—not driven by fear, but by a longing for truth, self, and belonging. In a world overwhelmed by speed and noise, we choose to turn eastward—toward the rising sun, toward ancient and gentle voices, toward a home not yet defined. This five-track EP, created by Jacky for his duo band WuLinG (捕鱼人), blends elements of 80s R&B, pop, electronic, Chinese traditional folk, and world music. Seen through an Eastern lens and shaped by the emotional landscape and collective memories of a younger generation, the EP explores the inner world and emotional map of a musical traveler. Each song marks both an arrival and a farewell. This is Jacky’s first conceptual project with WuLinG, beyond prior singles, and a bold step forward in shaping his personal artistic identity.
