With the wonderful accompaniment of the Jazz Grand Orchestra of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music and the Sichuan Academy Affiliated Middle School Philharmonic Orchestra, five richard Clayderman classics such as "Smiling Joey", "Adilina by the Water", "Romeo and Juliet", "Childhood Memories" and "Dream Wedding" are particularly agile and emotional under Liu Mingkang's interpretation.

Liu Mingkang can hold hands with the Sichuan Conservatory of Music first of all to thank Mr. Zhou Siyuan, as an artist and art educator, he put forward the advanced concept of "participation of the whole people and social assistance" for helping autistic groups more than a decade ago. Under the leadership of Zhou Siyuan, the streets and lanes have set up help points to let the "children of the stars" receive the necessary care and education, which not only greatly alleviates the phenomenon that special groups have nowhere to go, but also provides a useful reference for the large-scale autism support activities in Hong Kong and Macao in China in the future. After Zhou Siyuan became the secretary of the Chuanyin Party Committee in 2019, he established the only experimental art college among the eleven professional music colleges in China, and set up an art therapy laboratory in the experimental art college to explore the use of music, painting, dance and other art forms to help cure autistic children. Over the past two years, the laboratory has carried out some special research projects and published a number of research results, especially the "Lighting the Lamp for the Stars - Autism Music Therapy Service" project, which has become a public welfare brand in Sichuan Province. At present, Sichuan Conservatory of Music's art therapy has made a lot of achievements in discipline construction, faculty construction, scientific research construction, and social practice construction, among which 265 students have graduated from the music therapy major, and are currently active in medical institutions and community rehabilitation centers.
At present, the Sichuan Conservatory of Music is stepping up cooperation with public welfare institutions that care for autistic children in Chengdu, and establishing practical training bases in these institutions to guide these institutions in the art treatment of autistic groups. In a sense, Zhou Siyuan is the "first person" in China to help care for the autistic group with art.
The concert "Playing a Magnificent Sound with the Power of Love" is not only a vivid practice of Professor Zhou Siyuan's advanced concept of "participation by the whole people and social assistance", but also a new starting point for sichuan conservatory of music and Shanghai Hikvision Bei Community Chest to fully implement the art professional training for autistic children and open music therapy for autistic groups.
A concert will heat up the whole city because of "love", and the Sichuan Conservatory of Music will lead the whole society to set off a wave of care for autistic groups.
Zhou Siyuan, former party secretary of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music
Mr. Zhou Siyuan said: "Autistic groups are the most easily overlooked special vulnerable groups, and governments at all levels should pay attention to and understand them. Among them, there are many geniuses and children with aura, and Liu Mingkang is the most typical example. We must fully explore and cultivate these children. It is not enough for schools and institutions to promote the spirit of 'caring for special people', I hope that more and more institutions and individuals can join us in caring for the autistic group." ”
On that day, Liu Mingkang paid tribute to all those who supported him with the most wonderful performance. Every flexible note and every exciting melody is dedicated not only to people who dedicate themselves to love, but also to every day and night they fight for their dreams.
Love is not only full of warmth, but also full of strength. Let us use this power to play that majestic sound!
