Outstanding Chinese pianist renowned for his virtuosity and efforts to popularize classical music among young audiences.
Music should be like water—fluid, adaptive, powerful. It flows through everything and touches every heart.
I grew up in China, in a culture where music is sacred art. This shaped me as a musician and as a person.
Technique without feeling is just mechanics. Every note must contain emotion, a story, life. Music begins where technique ends.
My teacher told me I would never become a pianist. It was the worst day of my life, but also the best, because I decided to prove him wrong.
You must love what you do. If you do not love music, do not play. But if you do love it, play with all your heart, even if you make mistakes.
I am young, and youth listen to me. Therefore, I feel responsible to show them that classical music is not boring—it is life, passion, freedom.
Bach is absolute perfection, yet he leaves room for interpretation, for our voice. This is respect for the master and freedom for our time.
