Wo zhe shi nian (我这十年 Wǒ zhè shí nián "My Last Ten Years"^[1]) is the 1995 debut album of Zang Tianshuo. The album is considered his most representative work.^[2] The title refers to the ten years from his first gig in 1985 to first album in 1995. Zang started as a hard rocker, but had mellowed his sound since 1985 and in 1993 began to record tracks that produced a soft rock album. Sales in July 1995, the first month, reached 150,000 copies, a large number then and since for a Chinese hard rock artist and making Zang China's best-selling rock artist of that year.^{[3] [4]} The hit single "Pengyou" (Friend) brought Zang China-wide recognition.^[5] and the album received as "feelgood music."^[6] The album includes both songs from 1989 and Zang's solo work.^[7]
