"I can't say that I insist on practicing every day just to love music, but I choose to do one thing well, to do it well, to do it to the best I can, and I think this is something that should be adhered to when learning any skill." 」 In Wu Chi's view, it is very important to train children to learn music, "learning music does not necessarily become a professional performer, but if it is cultivated from an early age, let children know how to appreciate music and appreciate beautiful things, which is very important for them to grow up in the future." I think music is the best international language, knowing how to appreciate and not knowing how to appreciate are two completely different concepts, knowing how to appreciate, will benefit you for life. ”
At the sharing meeting, Luo Chi also had a live dialogue with Luo Wen, a doctor of musicology in Lubi, Zhou Brown, a young artist, and Xiao Sheep, an album designer, on "Love and Music" and "Love Music Growth Record". After the sharing meeting, Wu Chi also held a music CD signing event in the bookstore, through which the audience could enjoy the classic songs such as Brahms's "4 Piano Sketches" op.119, Schumann's "Symphonic Etudes" op.13, And Liszt's "Dante's Fantasy Sonata" through this CD, to further feel the emotions to be expressed in the music and cultivate life.
