Zhang Chu (Chinese: 张楚; pinyin: Zhāng Chǔ) (born November 11, 1968) is a Chinese musician who was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi.
Lauded by many as "the most lonesome singer-poet", Zhang Chu has remained a prominent figure on Chinese rock scene despite not releasing a new album since 1997. In fact, his lyrics continues to be quoted frequently by a whole new generation of Chinese youth to this day, though few seem to truly grasp its meaning.
