I expected to receive your letter early in the new year. We are all waiting for it as if it were a gift. Sure enough, I received your letter yesterday morning, and it was such gratifying news. child! If we were at the venue, we would burst into tears. The highest and purest joy in the world is to appreciate art, and nothing is to appreciate the art conveyed by the hands and hearts of your own children! Secondly, we are also happy because you have brought honor to our motherland! Even more so because you can make so many people laugh and be happy through music! Thinking that you will have greater achievements in the future, make endless progress, serve more people and the masses, inspire their mood, and soothe their pain, our hearts are really about to jump out! What a sacred and glorious mission it is to be able to carry forward the immortal works of the immortal master and spread them to every corner of the earth! My child, you are so happy, and God has been so kind to you. What I am even more happy and comforted about is: no amount of excessive flattery and praise has made you lose your self-knowledge, and the applause, hugs, and praises of celebrities have not diminished your humility towards art! Finally, my education was not in vain, and your twenty years of torture were not in vain! You can be strong (not getting carried away by victory is the best evidence of being strong), as long as you can be strong, I will be relieved for the rest of my life! The size and level of our achievements are beyond our control. Half of them depend on manpower and half of them depend on talent. But as long as you are strong, you are not afraid of failure, setbacks, or blows - whether it is personnel, life, or technology. , a learning blow; from now on you can fight alone. What's more, there are actually so many good teachers and friends around to help you and support you. It also includes ancient and modern classics to give you spiritual nourishment all the time! My child, from now on, you will never be alone, and you will not be afraid of being alone!

I have always remembered this sentence of innocence. A child does not know loneliness. When a child is lonely, he will create a world and many spiritual friends! Always keep your innocent heart, you will not be left behind when you grow old, and you will always be able to connect with and embrace the innocent hearts of the whole world! Your friend said it right, the moving artistic expression must come from the purity of the soul! If you are not as pure as a bright mirror, how can you understand the souls of your predecessors? How can you touch the hearts of your audience?

The music dean said that your performance is like flowing water, like a river; it reminds me of the symbol of Christophe. Uncle Tian said that you often thought of yourself as Christophe when you were a child; but your personality is actually somewhat similar to Romain Rolland's ideal. River, Rhine, the sound of the river is mighty... The bells are ringing again, it is already dawn... China is reaching the dawn of "Fudan". I hope you will be China's - New China's - bells, ringing all over the world, ringing Pervade everyone's heart! The endless flow of water flows into everyone's heart, taking everyone with you into the boundless ocean of sound! The world-famous Yangtze River and Yellow River are even more powerful than the Rhine! ...The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return! ...The endless falling trees rustle, and the endless Yangtze River rolls in! ... A traditional nation with such a poetic soul should behave in a spirit of arrogance.

You say that you are always surrounded by contradictions and happiness, but I believe that without contradictions, artists will not progress, evolve, or deepen. Contradictions are evidence of vitality. What you feel at the moment is just the contradiction between skills and ideals. In the future, you will have recurring and even greater contradictions: the contradiction between form and content, and many unpredictable contradictions in your own heart, all waiting for you in the future.

Don’t worry, resolving a conflict is a step forward! Conflicts cannot be completely resolved, so art has no limits. There is no perfect day, and there is no perfect day in life! This is the only reason why we need to pursue and practice hard day and night throughout our lives; otherwise, if we all become Emperor Xi and rule the world with ease, it would be too boring to be a human being!
