Bang Bang 朗朗

A Grammy-nominated classical pianist who wears personalized trainers, Lang Lang is one-of-a-kind in the world of classical music. The 26-year-old has become a sensation, with a prodigious talent that catapulted him from a childhood in northeastern China to playing to a packed Carnegie Hall in the age of 21. His flamboyant style and bold image has divided critics, but attracts millions – who might be more into MTV than Mozart – to classical music.

His parents were instrumental in pushing him to be a world-famous pianist. However, after his movement to Beijing, tough times were compounded. His teacher took a dislike to him. Far from encouraging a young boy, she consistently told him that he had no talent and kicked him out of school. Then, he experienced a harrowing moment when, in a violent burst-out, his father accused him of ruining his dream of Lang Lang being a great pianist and wanted to throw him out of the tenement building

Lang Lang overcame it and won competitions, especially the pivot chance of appearing with the Chicago Symphony as a last minute replacement. Then after his solo recital in Carnegie Hall, he worked with so many esteemed orchestras and conductors.

One of his biggest achievements is appearing at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. He gained more plaudits from his contemporaries than negative reviews. He is able to help inspire others to take up music. He wants to be a UNICEF ambassador.

還是搞不懂什麼時候要用 a 什麼時候要用 the；什麼時候可以完全不用加！？

不過有一段說到朗朗被批說像“J.Lo”。可是，J.Lo可是性感女神啊！難道還年輕但有點發福的朗朗看起來很性感(在國外這種型的比較吃香嗎)-_-a 哈哈...

今天回家試了一下那種“自high式”的彈法，好像會卡到的地方比較容易過去耶...不知道是不是真的有效還是“自我催眠太over...high 過頭囉”:p
