Features: We are still reading The Letters from 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 "the master guides you in, but practice depends on yourself." It allows us to see the other generation that emerges beyond the letters. This book is the popular edition of Fu Cong: At the Age of 70! and, together with The Letters from 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"—philosophy, religion, painting, literature—all must be understood. And this aspect of being a person also includes spiritual values. He emphasized being a person above all; without this foundation, there is no art, no music, nothing.
