Features: We are still reading The Letters of Fu Lei, but the Fu Cong in the letters has gradually grown distant, having established his own "family." Yet, he has never forgotten his father's early teachings: "First, be a person; second, be an artist; third, be a musician; and last, be a pianist." In seeking the fundamental value of humanity through the language of the piano, the book selects conversations between Mr. Fu Cong and friends from the media and music world, recording his artistic journey of "a master guides you in, but practice depends on yourself." It allows us to see the next generation that emerges beyond the letters, showcasing a different persona. This book is the popular edition of Fu Cong: At the Age of 70! and, together with The Letters of Fu Lei, demonstrates the principle of "First, be a person; then, achieve success."
Father said one must first be a person before becoming an artist. An artist means being "all-encompassing"—understanding philosophy, religion, painting, literature, and everything else. And this aspect of being a person also includes spiritual values. He emphasized being a person above all else; without this foundation, there is no art, no music, and nothing at all.
