"I think classical music is a great, beautiful art as long as people recognize it. But first we need to calm down and listen to it with heart. In this technologically advanced time, too many things are drawing peoples' attention. Sometimes we need to slow down, look back and feel the beauty of art and life."

"I started lessons when I was three and a half. In the beginning I just played a little but, when I was five, I played my first recital, and from that point my parents had high hopes for me; especially my father."

"I'd play the piano at 5am."

"Charity is just like music which comes from deep inside my heart. I can express my love for society and my country through my fingers, just like Chopin did."

"My emotions are expressed through the piano. It’s easier to speak through the keys than through words."

"My fans really love me, so they want to understand classical music and I want to help them. By watching me, they’ve learnt not to clap between the movements, to know some of the music I play quite well. I love the idea of playing quiet music on a big stage, you can feel every note bubbling in the air, with everybody following."

"I’m very happy that so many children are learning the piano because of me."

"I'm inspiring a new generation who are hungry to learn music. I think that's my responsibility and it's my dream."

"美食其实也能吃出音乐的感受来。比如像法国作曲家拉威尔的经典钢琴曲《水的嬉戏》，最后一句就像香槟的气泡消失一样。"
