March 26, 2009 - During the university

During the university, Shanghai conservatory of music in charge of string to be dean old new professor invite, come Xi'an give lectures also. The headmaster says: Send one or two outstanding graduates for us, otherwise the teaching level can not catch up with. Professor Chen says after teaching him: Also want us and send the shark? Your own students are very good, he can unquestionably become an outstanding violin teacher. The classic's big long his ambition of encouragement, made more efforts from then on, the musical instrument skill was further improved.
An accidental event cuts off his study, that is that the Cultural Revolution has taken place in China. The school suspends classes, the campus is turned into a terrific " ocean of Red Sea " ,A lot of classmates acted as suddenly " Red soldier " . He is not interested in rebelling, only wants to play the musical instrument wholeheartedly, is criticized in order to take " the special road in vain " . Later on the situation is severe, can't find in even a corner suitable for practising the musical instrument in the campus. While having no way out, he thinks of the old and new professor. Shanghai has certainly suspended classes too, if Professor Chen is free at home, can not just learn the musical instrument from him? The idea has already been made, he carries the train that the loved musical instrument boarded the east. It is exactly that " the revolution connects greatly in series " During this time, the train does not buy tickets on students, make this poor student who worry about travelling expenses overjoyed. Crowd in the carriage as sardine's tin, fights by the railway everywhere, a group of confusion, the train takes a walk and stops, has reached Shanghai at long last. He is too impatient to get to the conservatory of music of Shanghai of road of Fenyang, never think the smell of gunpowder here is denser than that of Xi'an, find, in charge of string department office as him, ask about Professor Chen to people, others keep watch on he say as seeing E.T.s: "Do not you really know or know? Old to commit suicide newly! " My God! He has not expected really the result will be like this. This news is like the head-on blow, he sits down weak and limps on the step in front of the building unably quickly.
Disappointed and is getting back to Xi'an painfully that bringing, he decides the teacher who works as oneself, study all the same every day, practise the musical instrument. Fortunately others or keen on " The revolution " ,Or seize the chance to be carefree, few people are in charge of his other people's business. In order to be afraid of being criticized " Feudalism, capitalism and revisionism " ,He hangs up the thick screen in the dormitory, adds the mute for the violin, practise the musical instrument stealthily carefully in whereabouts, until the job assignment on graduation.
From accepting " The reeducation " Farm go back to school,assign he it for song and dance theater band. He with one little alumnus of attached middle school later on, whole tone make institute appearance beauty the most happy, stature most gentle and graceful, voice sweet schoolgirl get married most, the wife was announcer of the theater of song and dance and concurrently team member of the chorus at that time.
There were eight on the stage at that time " The model theatrical works " ,Except the band does not have any to perform to accompany. He is unwilling to lose the time practised with great difficulty, spend the time without performance exerting the utmost strength to practise the musical instrument, at the same time in order to lead the gloom in the heart off. What they lived in is the tube-shaped apartment, he wants to look after wife and daughter crying piteously for food who suffers from mastitis in the daytime; Afraid of influencing the neighbour to have a rest in the evening, at all unable to practise the musical instrument, he invented a method, the right hand does not transport bending, the left hand goes to point the exercise and changes an exercise in the musical instrument. Whenever the night comes, the whole tube-shaped apartment is deadly still, he is watching over the wife and daughter sleeping soundly, the ground is practiced hard silently at midnight, at midnight. Having acquainted the left hand technology of the high degree in training later, this was reason better than technology of right hand all the time of his left hand too.
One that is with environment is gradual and loose, the band performs some songs gradually too except accompanying for the stage drama. He treasures and performs the chance as all of the soloist's very much. The song that he played is very extensive, nearly include all violin melodies that can be performed at the domestic concert at that time.
After the conservatory of music resumes enrolling new students, because teachers are in exceedingly short supply, he is mobilized back to the Alma Mater to teach by the president. The violin is generally acknowledged it is the musical instrument most difficult to study in the world, and he teaches student, have never said one " It is difficult " Word. His love to violin nearly reaches the bigoted stage, he thinks that it is the best choice in life to be engaged in the music, the violin is the most splendid musical instrument in the world. He still firmly believes, the person who can learn the violin can snatch any complicated knowledge and skill in the world, finish study the violin definitely while being getting remakable while being clever non-. He is familiar with from attached middle school, university to all graduate student's courses at stage, he has a class yes a special skill, no matter which grade student, no matter what melody is played, no matter from which sentence begins, he picks up the musical instrument and demonstrates, does not look at music score, it is accurate to bend France, fingering, the expression mark is thoroughly cooked in the heart.
As the young teacher, he is specially invited as the seat of honor of student's symphony orchestra, needs for teaching, he and several young teachers make up a quartet group. Just this quartet group, make him obtain a fairly good chance of studying abroad.
Since the eighties, school invite foreign musician's visit, give lectures often. In 1984, the conservatory of music of university of Michigan state of U.S.A. was in charge of dean's watt of the string. Good fortune must lead professor by one piece trio the groups want Xi'an. The chance of a chance, the professor listens to their quartet rehearsing, this blue-eyed and golden-haired American has not expected really, in the remote the northwest of China, in a landlocked city backward in economy, in the living environment completely different from the west, a group of young men who dedicates oneself to art, study and teach the western classical music in a conscientious and down-to-earth manner, the true love so as to make a living; What especially made him surprised is, these youth who has never been to the western countries has talent making people inconceivable and play level. The professor greatly moves, decide to strive for a chance for them, invite them to go to U.S.A. to receive a training, perform as the visiting scholar. In this way, he flies over the ocean to come to the city of the north of U.S.A. blue and hard when close to the age of 40.
