Dubbed the "grassroots singer" by his fans, Luo is particularly good at performing classic pop songs from the 1980s and 90s. Among his followers, the middle-aged and elderly audiences stand out as the most active group, which is not the common stereotype of younger star-struck fans.

Luo loves the title bestowed by his fans. He views it as recognition of a gracious, accessible and grounded singer, which echoes his goal of serving the mass public with good music and helping people enjoy daily life.

"People in Shanghai are living good material lives, but I see higher expectations and cultural demands from them. For those without the time or opportunity to go to concerts or music festivals, street singing is a fantastic way to offer good live music. I feel honored to be in this role. It fills me with confidence, happiness, motivation and a sense of belonging," he says.

Luo tells China Daily that his fans are like family members. Many of them follow Luo and travel across the city, and sometimes even the nation. After the performances, they often stay to greet each other, casually chat, and take photos together, always showing kindness.

A loyal fan nicknamed Xiu says Luo's singing changed her life and made it more vibrant: "Because of Xiaoluo, I tried to learn how to sing and expanded my friend circle. I can't get enough of listening to his songs. They always accompany me while running and doing housework. He makes my lives fulfilled and happy."
