In spite of the fact that no one was on my side, I persevered in trying my ideal music on piano. Fortunately, I encountered a rather open-minded teacher Kong in NAI, instead of being cynical about me, she kept encouraging me and taught me in accordance with my aptitude. Under her guidance, I learnt the complete etudes of Chopin and 3 of his ballades. Furthermore, to distinguish myself from most of my classmates in NAI, as they were all applying themselves to Chopin’s relatively simple pieces, I began to take my first step towards Liszt. Although I was by no means an understandable person in the eyes of most of my schoolmates, I took delight in conquering these abstruse pieces. I felt fairly excited when I first gained proficiency in playing one of Liszt’s transcendent etudes—Since I learnt to play piano from scratch at the age of 20, I was able to play Liszt within 3 years! I learnt a great deal from Kong: to grasp different style, to use pedal in different pieces, to select suitable pieces for myself and so forth. 4 year in NAI as a piano major student past in the twinkling of an eye, after finishing defending my thesis and getting everything done, I was graduated from my college! Now I could brag that I am a graduate of piano department, I am a music professional.
