Long-lived Affection for China

At this concert, in addition to playing classical repertoire, he will bring famous pieces of Chinese music as well, which are specially adapted by himself for the Chinese audience. It is justifiable to say that he has given much thought to popularizing piano culture and art.

It is his constant pursuit to enable the audience to get easily the beauty of the music and allow the children to feel easily the joy of playing the piano. “The piano I play can be understood and seen”, he said, since “it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.”
