Keung To once revealed his fondness for reading Laozi, suggesting that the Taoist concepts of the cosmos and natural flow deeply resonate with him.
Taoism teaches that all living creatures must live in harmony with the universe and the energy found within it (chi).
Taoism values simplicity, spontaneity and self-cultivation.
However, in my humble opinion, rather than strictly adhering to Taoist and naturalist principles, his approach to his career seems to align more with Wang Yangming's philosophy of the unity of knowledge and action.
Without action, there is no meaning. Keung To has often said that anyone can speak of grand principles, but how many actually take the steps to put them into practice? He truly aspires to be someone whose words and actions are consistently aligned.
From his 4th solo song "Say I love you with mask on" Keung To has consistently used his music to convey his thoughts and reflections on his surroundings, expressing his genuine perspectives through his works.
The next solo “Disease of loneliness" addresses fans struggling with emotional issues by sharing his personal experiences, offering solace for the kind of loneliness that can't be easily expressed or understood by others. The message is clear: don't be afraid, you are not alone, as if to say "I understand".

Because I have been through what you are experiencing. I’m here with you!
Keung To is a highly observant, attentive, and sensitive individual. This side of him fills him with inspiration. But to some he is unpredictable, ever-changing, and doesn't play by the rules.
He rarely explains or defends his actions. Instead of using words, he prefers to express his thoughts through concrete actions, embodying the phrase many now quote as his signature saying: "Let the work speak."
This commitment to the unity of knowledge and action explains why some viewed his behavior as eccentric with no attempt to understand his feelings at Hong Kong Ultimate Song Chart Awards 2022 (01.01.2023).

Some judge his stage performance to be eccentric without trying to understand his feelings following the accident that occurred in July 2022 during the concert of the boyband "Mirror" and his accident to his right knee in November 2022.
