From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the modern People's Republic of China musician. For the Tang Dynasty chancellor, see Dou Wei (Tang Dynasty).

Dou Wei (surname Dou; Simplified Chinese: 窦唯; Traditional Chinese: 竇唯; pinyin: Dòu Wéi) is a Chinese musician born October 14, 1969 in Beijing, China.

He has two daughters: one named Dou Jingtong (born January 3, 1997), born to his ex-wife Faye Wong, and the other one born to his ex-wife Gao Yuan.

On May 10, 2006, Dou was arrested after storming the office of the Beijing News newspaper's editorial department, destroying a computer keyboard and a DVD player, and pouring water on editors in the office, before setting fire to a car's boot parked in front of the newspaper's office building. Dou claimed that his actions had been justified by the actions of a Beijing News reporter named Zhuo (This reporter is using an alias, which is illegal in China), whom Dou accused of publishing what he believed to be falsified news about Dou and his second wife, Gao Yuan.
