Core member and volunteer, Zhuang Pop Music Project (2003-2009). This is a language revitalization project initiated by my Zhuang friends based on the sociolinguistic advices I provided. The projectaimedto change the language attitude of Zhuang teenagers towards their mother tongue by composing pop songs in the local language, which was often considered as a "backwardand rural vernacular". OurZhuang pop songs were well received. Several songs have reached the top 10 in the Guangxi Radio Billboard. The singers were invited to perform on regional and nationwide TV channels. We organized several Zhuang pop music concerts between 2005 and 2009, both at the county seats and the villages in Debao County and Jingxi County. In 2008 we issued a CD album"Beih Nongx 貝儂" (brothers and sisters), the first pop music CD album in Zhuang language. See our songs:Sleizeengz DeefBaov 德保情歌 (The Love Song of Debao)
