Something in common

Dan [Zhaoyi 但昭义, renowned piano teacher of world-class yound artists such as Yundi Li and Sa Chen], who is 65, grew up in the western hinterlands near the city of Chongqing. His father, a physician who loved music, acquired a piano, a rare possession, but Dan showed little inclination to play.

"We had a set time to practice. I would secretly turn the clock ahead so I could play less time," Dan said, laughing.
