Lang Lang is a highly anticipated pianist who has been called "the light of the East" by foreign media.

<h1 style="text-align: center;">01</h1>
In the spring of 1990, 8-year-old Lang Lang became a small north drifter. In March of that year, his father, Lang Guoren, resigned from the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau and took him to Beijing to study piano.
At that time, Lang Guoren was just in his early 30s, and he had been separated from his wife for many years, which was indeed a bit cruel. Lang Guoren accompanied him in Beijing, and his wife Zhou Xiulan worked in his hometown of Shenyang, responsible for earning money to support all the expenses of the family.
Lang Lang and Professor Zhu Yafen
Under the recommendation of Zhu Yafen, a piano professor at Shenyang Conservatory of Music, a female professor of the Piano Department of Lang Langbai Central Conservatory of Music was a teacher.
Because Lang Guoren did not send red envelopes to the other party, the female professor has always been angry in her heart, and she humiliated and hit Lang Lang with words, trying to force him away. Lang Lang and his father always thought that they were not playing well, and they trained harder and harder.
During the 3 hours of learning the piano with the teacher, he only rested for 10 minutes, while other students drank water and went to the bathroom to grind and rub, but Lang Lang sat intently on a stool to practice. As a result, he plays an average of 20 minutes more per day than other cadets.
Lang Guoren and his wife sent their son to learn the piano, and paid great efforts and sacrifices. He quit smoking and drinking, ate frugally in Beijing, and often went to the bazaar in the evening to buy discounted cabbage.
In order to support Lang Lang's high costs, Zhou Xiulan works at the unit during the day and goes to the store to sell clothes for relatives at night. Her daily living expenses do not exceed 6 yuan, and she is reluctant to buy even a scarf. Worried that his wife was sad and sad, Lang Guoren did not dare to tell her about her son's situation.
Seeing that Lang Guoren "did not understand things", the other party finally swept Lang Lang out of the house. His job was lost, his son could not learn piano, Lang Guoren's spirit almost collapsed, he wanted Lang Lang to commit suicide first, and then jump off the building to commit suicide.
In the end, it was a phone call from Lang Lang's mother, Zhou Xiulan, who saved the father and son. Zhou Xiulan said: "I have worked part-time outside this month and earned 1200 yuan, your father and son should not worry about money anymore, and don't be too frugal in life." ”
Lang Lang cried, and So did Lang Guoren. Zhou Xiulan broke her heart for her son to learn piano exercises, if the father and son committed suicide, how could she withstand such a blow? Lang Lang and his father decided to go down the piano road strongly.
Lang Lang and Zhao Pingguo teachers
Lang Guoren tearfully told Zhu Yafen about his son's situation on the phone, and she introduced Lang Lang to Zhao Pingguo, a famous piano professor at the Central Conservatory of Music. Lang Guoren took his son to visit the teacher, and Professor Zhao enthusiastically accepted Lang Lang.
Professor Zhao felt that Lang Lang was a piano wizard and carefully cultivated him. In September 1991, Lang Lang was admitted to the Small Piano Department of the Central Conservatory of Music with the first place among more than 3,000 candidates in the country. Lang Guoren and his wife wept with joy.

Over the years, Zhou Xiulan earned money alone to support her family, and her life was hard every bit. In order to help his wife reduce his burden, after Lang Lang was admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music, Lang Guo went to a shopping mall in Xicheng District as a tally clerk during the day. After work, he hurried back to the rental house to cook for his son, and then urged Lang Lang to practice the piano for 3 hours at night.
Lang Lang with his parents
Previously, in order not to distract Lang Lang, Lang Guoren rarely took his son back to Shenyang, and usually did not let his wife come to Beijing. There is only the Spring Festival in a year, and the family of three is reunited in Beijing for a few days. Now that her son's studies are on the right track, Zhou Xiulan sometimes comes to Beijing to reunite with her husband and son. Prices in Shenyang are relatively cheap, and every time she comes to Beijing, she brings a full woven bag of vegetables, fruits, and steamed buns.
In the fall of 1997, Lang Lang was admitted to the world-famous Philadelphia Conservatory of Music with honors. Only then did Lang Guoren end his studying career and return to Shenyang to reunite with his wife. At this time, the couple had been separated for 9 years.
Because Lang Lang was too good, the school's piano professor Gary Graffman admired him very much. At the recommendation of his mentor, Lang Lang successfully signed a contract with IMG, the world's largest performance agency, after passing the examination. Lang Lang, 15 years old, thus embarked on the path of professional piano player.
At this time, he not only did not need his parents to pay tuition and living expenses, but also earned a performance fee every year. In his junior year, Lang Lang paid off the more than 100,000 yuan owed by his family for him to learn the piano.
In June 2001, Lang Lang graduated from university and officially began his career as a professional pianist. He has traveled to more than 60 countries and regions around the world, winning many world-class awards such as the Duhikin Award in the United States and the Mozart Record Award in Austria, becoming the youngest top pianist in the world. In recognition of Lang Lang's outstanding contribution, he was successfully elected as the United Nations Messenger of Peace. Many European media have praised him as the "light of the East".
Since then, concerts, social activities, etc. have occupied lang Lang's entire life, and the time at his disposal is extremely limited. Because he flew around the world all year round, Lang Lang did not have time to return to Shenyang to reunite with his parents.
From 2002 to 2008, for 6 Spring Festivals, Lang Lang did not go home, and Lang Guoren and Zhou Xiulan spent in loneliness. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Lang Lang called his parents to pay respects to the New Year. Lang Guoren and his wife endured their heartache and exchanged blessings with their son, but when they put down the phone, the couple cried uncontrollably.
Zhou Xiulan
At that time, Lang Lang was young and could not understand his parents' love for their children. Lang Guoren and his wife were worried about affecting their son's work, and never showed their desire to reunite with their son, let alone make a hard request to Lang Lang, and their son had to go home several times a year. They watched silently in the loneliness, waiting in tears for their son to come home.

In June 2011, when Lang Lang returned to Shanghai to perform, his father called him: "Your mother and I want to go to Shanghai to see you." Lang Lang agreed. Lang Guoren and his wife rushed to Shanghai at their own expense, but Lang Lang's activities were tightly arranged, and his parents only met with him once and stayed for less than two hours. Even so, Lang Guoren and Zhou Xiulan were very content.
After that, as soon as his son returned to China to perform, Lang Guoren and his wife went to reunite with him. In August 2015, Lang Lang attended a piano concert in Wuhan. Knowing that his parents were coming, Lang Lang said: "Wuhan is as hot as a stove, don't come here." But Lang Guoren and his wife still insisted on rushing over. As a result, Zhou Xiulan suffered from heat stroke, with a high fever to 39 degrees, and stayed in the hospital for two days.
Lang Lang said to his parents with a reproachful tone: "Let you not come, you want to come, why is this bitter?" Zhou Xiulan said wearily, "Son, your father and I usually don't see you, so we want to see you." ”
After that, when his son returned to China to perform, Lang Guoren and his wife would not reunite with him, so as not to add to Lang Lang's blockage. In 2017, the United States, Canada, Germany and other countries extended an olive branch to Lang Lang, hoping that he would settle in the past.
After Lang Guoren and his wife learned about it, they called their son with tears: "We are getting old day by day, you are the only child in the family, and your parents usually want to see you more, even if you say a few words, you will be happy to have a meal together." In the past, people around us envied that we had cultivated an excellent son, and now we envy other people's children to stay by our side and enjoy the joy of heaven. ”
His parents' words stung Lang Lang's heart, when he learned piano, his parents shed a lot of tears, and now that he has become famous, he must not let his parents shed tears again. Lang Lang choked up and replied, "Mommy and Daddy, please rest assured, I am Chinese and will not settle abroad." In the future, I will return to china to accompany you more and no longer let you be alone. ”
Lang Lang with his wife Gina
Since then, Lang Lang has returned to Shenyang at least 3 times a year to accompany his parents, sometimes going to perform abroad, and he has also taken his parents with him.
In 2019, Lang Lang married Korean pianist Gina. He settled his home in Beijing and took his parents to live with him, and Lang Lang was never separated from his parents again. When he was not busy, he and his parents made dumplings and food at home, and took them back to Shenyang to visit relatives and friends.
In the days with their son, Lang Guoren and his wife felt that the air was sweet. They are psychologically and emotionally attached to their son, and every time Lang Lang goes out to perform, they look forward to his son's return. Since living with his son, Lang Guoren and Zhou Xiulan have not shed tears again, which is also what Lang Lang most wants to see.
In Lang Lang's view, not letting parents cry in their old age is the most basic requirement for being a son. Parents have worked hard for themselves, and no matter how filial they are in this life, they cannot repay this kindness!
