Zhao Tao's version of "Ulaanbaatar Nights" is good to listen to.
In the first half of the song, she sings about her sister’s sense of search, struggling to find it but not finding it, and feeling lonely inside. The night in Ulaanbaatar is so quiet, but no one knows my existence or where my sister is. I am left alone and helpless, with only wine to accompany me. In the second half of the song, the character becomes the dancer's sister, who is almost crazy in the drunken dream, on the verge of collapse, and bursting with pain. The night in Ulaanbaatar is so quiet, but there is no wind. Know who I am.
Zhao Tao’s voice is not very good and she is not good at singing, but this song tailor-made for her by her husband is very suitable for her to sing. Because she understands the story and her husband, her performance of this song is straight forward, with no skills and all emotion. It sounds very mediocre and calm, but when you take a closer look, it is full of heart-wrenching pain.

Zhao Tao himself is quite low-key and has a conservative attitude towards entering the entertainment industry. After the completion of "Ren Xiaoyao", the people behind the scenes believed that she has a strong ability to create characters. There is a big difference between her personal temperament and the role, but she can perform with ease and has high understanding of performance characteristics. Zhao Tao can be said to be the queen of art films. Every film she stars in is a competition film at the three major European film festivals. She is also featured in mainstream European media.
His calm and restrained appearance contains powerful explosive power. Many international media have commented that Zhao Tao is comparable to French actresses in the New Wave period, and her personal temperament creates a film rebellion. Zhao Tao's performances in the past ten years have aroused praise from filmmakers from all over the world. It has a very high reputation internationally.
