"To my audiences,
Ancient strings stir—each note a ripple from dynasties past. The guzheng’s voice rises, shimmering with stories of rivers, mountains, and moonlit courts, then flows into fresh currents of today. In its timbre we hear both the hush of antiquity and the heartbeat of the present.
Join us for an afternoon where elegance meets adventure: time-honored melodies entwine with modern colors, carrying listeners—seasoned connoisseurs and curious newcomers alike—on a luminous journey through China’s musical soul. Come listen as yesterday reverberates into now, and tradition, ever-alive, sings forward.”

Dedicated to all my loved ones...
"As we leave our past behind and step toward an uncertain destiny, the echoes of what once was linger, carrying lessons, faces, and memories that weigh heavily upon us. They fortify us even as they remind us of all we've lost. The path ahead will test the depths of our hearts, yet the haunting voices of our past will remain, whispering, urging us forward through the darkness."
