I have played the piano for 14 years so far. In these years, I have gone through success, loss and confusion. It could be said that music is becoming a part of my life.
I was born in an ordinary family; my parents were working as writer and artist. Indeed, my mother is a singer in the department, so she has influenced me in music, and I became loving music very much since I was a little kid. At that time, a lot of children were learning piano. At the beginning of learning the piano, my parents need to sit by my side and watch me while I was practicing. I actually did not like to play at first. In my childhood, I was very negative. Sitting down behind the piano and practicing seriously for a few hours was like a nightmare to me. I would like to go outside to play just like the other kids did. If my parents did not persist in forcing me to practice, I think I would already given up for learning the piano.
I made a decision when I was 10 years old. I wanted to be a pianist. At that moment, I did not realize that how much effort I should make. And also my parents should support me if I really want to do piano as my career. Fortunately, I gained a great support from my parents to enter the Shenzhen Arts School.
After finishing my high school study. I clearly know that if I want to be professional, I should be patient and put more effort. I used to think that I was a quiet good pianist and have obtained many honors. However, I finally discovered that there are millions of pianists in the world who are better than me. So, I chose to go to the conservatory to be more professional and international.
My last piano teacher Professor Dan used to say that music reminds him that he is still alive. I believe that I will get to his level some day in the future.
