Kung Fu pays off. Sun Qilin finally won the first place in the piano finals of the 13th Golden Bell Awards of Chinese Music with an excellent score of 98.69 points.
Wang Yan introduced to reporters that in the history of "Chuanyin", Sun Qilin was the first to be admitted to the Juilliard School of Music in the United States, known as the "Harvard of the music industry". Sun Qilin once said: "There are many stories between me and Teacher Wang. There is no doubt that without Teacher Wang, I would not be where I am today. "How could a girl in the Xuanhan Mountains of Dazhou, the southern foothills of the Daba Mountains in the Sichuan Basin, learn piano?" My father was a math teacher at a township primary school, but he loved music so much, he believed that art could cultivate emotions, and music could make a difference in life. ”
Sun Qilin's experience is very inspiring, her family is poor, and the piano was initially borrowed to buy. After being enlightened by Teacher Zhou Xianming in Dazhou, he found Teacher Wang Yan through introduction.
Wang Yan commented on her: Some students want the teacher to push away, but Sun Qilin will push the teacher away. She worked very hard, worked very hard, and excelled in all her grades in the class. He has won the first prize of the "National Finals of the 'Xinghai Cup' Youth Piano Competition", the second prize of the "First 'Wenhua Award' National Youth Piano Competition", the fourth prize of the "Fifth Asian Youth Piano Competition" and the first place in the Sichuan Division, as well as several "Yamaha" scholarships. When she went to Beijing to compete, Wang Yan told her parents, don't take the train, you have to take the plane, the doll's bad rest may affect the competition, and the hard work of their teachers and students is not in vain? As a result, in order to save money for the family, the child insisted on taking a hard seat to Beijing. Although she was very tired, it did not affect her playing, and she played without any deviation. I admire this girl! ”
In 2009, the "First 'Wenhua Award' National Youth Piano Competition" was held in Xiamen, Wang Yan accompanied Sun Qilin throughout the whole process, and the students' scores, bags and suitcases were all carried in the hands of the teacher. Sudden temporary situation in the arena, Sun Qilin's performance suit straps fell off, Wang Yan rushed back to the hotel in the rain to get needles and threads, and then rushed back to the field in the rain to mend the slings... Sun Qilin smiled and said, "Everyone else thinks she's my mother!" ”
When Sun Qilin was a junior in high school, her visionary and assertive father only let her enter the three schools of Julia, Curtis, and Eastman. He also said that if these three failed the examination, he would stay in "Chuanyin" to learn from Teacher Wang and not go anywhere! At the same time, it also put forward very harsh conditions: you must get a full scholarship, otherwise it will be difficult to afford even if you are admitted to the family. That year, there were five hundred candidates in the world who took the exam, Julia only admitted thirteen, sun Qilin did not read the preparatory department or hired foreign teachers, not only was admitted, but also received a full scholarship of thirty-eight thousand US dollars per year. Her American teacher later told Wang Yan that Julia's teachers knew that Kirin was directly admitted to Julia and won the full prize by her Chinese teacher. Later, Sun Qilin, who successfully completed her bachelor's and master's studies, became the first Chinese female doctoral student in Julia's piano major with a full prize again in 2018. "A two-year virtuoso diploma is easier, and I need to study five years of Doctor of Musical Arts, which is very difficult."
