Character evaluation
Although Chen Hongyu is from Inner Mongolia, he does not look like a majestic man with a horse pole, but a bit weak. He looks very elegant when he wears glasses, which are exactly the kind of glasses that literary young people like (Southern Metropolis Daily Review).
Chen Hongyu is a representative of Chinese folk music with humanistic characteristics (Sina Review). Chen Hongyu's voice is magnetic and he has a delicate and sensitive temperament (reviewed by Yinchuan Evening News). Chen Hongyu's creative style is pure and simple, and his combination with Tang Yingfeng can be called a seamless golden combination (21CN review).
Chen Hongyu’s singing is more like a ballad that favors chanting. From the perspective of chanting, he is quite perfect, and his knowledge of singing is also very good (Lu Zhongqiang commented).
