Yundi

There is a difference between common people and genius. We all know. That's why when Yundi Li makes such an patriotic collection, I am so excited and have expected a lot for him. Red is color to represent our country, not because it is the color of the communists, but because it represents the good luck and happiness. He said.

In this day and age, no one dare to say Chinese are not the happy people. The Chinese have the most promising economy and they have a rapidly growing  military power which enable them to flex their muscles wherever or whenever they like. But concerning about the cultural development, the Chinese was forced to make a slow pace. You and I know the reason.

So, as an alternative tribute to his model Frederic Chopin, Yundi chose to make a Chinese collection with his red piano. It was not just a gimmick. It was for the reason that he loved this land. Just like the poet who enchanted for the countries in their way, Yundi played it in this way. Entwined with the romanticism and our Chinese traditional music, I found this album really amusing. I just did not only explore the fantasy of Chopin but also got into the wonders of our own nation. The national anthem March of the Volunteers no longer smelled awkward and bloody. It was renovated under the fingers of Yundi. He infused the anthem with genuine pleasure and joy, which the Chinese perhaps never had before.

The red represents good luck and happiness. He said it and promised it. I hope the day will come.

I hope.
