Recently, thomas Bach, the current chairman of the International Olympic Committee, personally wrote a letter thanking Chinese piano teenager Chen Qitian for his wonderful performance at the Olympic Museum.
At the invitation of the International Olympic Organizing Committee, Chen Qitian visited the Olympic Museum exhibition in Lausanne, Switzerland, on January 24 this year, and played the world's famous piano song , Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6" at the Chinese New Year Reception attended by Bach.

Chen Qitian, also known as Chen Environmental Protection, was born in Nanjing and is currently studying in the high school of Hodgkeith School in the United States. On October 28, 2012, In Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, Chen Guangbiao, chairman of Jiangsu Huangpu Renewable Resources Utilization Co., Ltd., and his son Chen Qitian held a piano charity concert at Nanjing Art Center, and donated materials to disabled children and children of migrant workers on the spot. At the award ceremony site of the 2019 Boya Cup Piano Competition, he took the initiative to donate the winning piano and 50,000 yuan in cash to the primary school in Daliangshan District, and announced that he would use the holiday to volunteer to teach. When he heard about the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan, he abandoned the original plan to travel in Europe, and immediately took action with his father Chen Guangbiao to purchase a large number of masks in major local pharmacies in Switzerland and ship them to the frontline of the epidemic area in time.
In his letter, President Bach expressed the hope that Chen Qitian "will continue to promote the Olympic principles to the world: to create a better way of life by combining sport with culture, education and international cooperation." ”
