I was born in a traditional Chinese family. My grandfather is a fan of Beijing opera and erhu music. When I was very young,my grandpa often sang Bei?jing opera as he played erhu. Sometimes the melody was exciting,sometimes sad. I was attracted by the sound of erhu.

At the age of eight,I decided to learn to play erhu. At the beginning,I had great interest in playing it. But I found it difficult to play it soon. I wanted to give up.
