2020 is really a special year, because of special reasons, the start was very difficult, did not expect at the end of the year, there was misfortune.
According to foreign media news, on December 28, local time, the well-known pianist Fu Cong unfortunately died in the United Kingdom for well-known reasons, at the age of 86. He was only diagnosed on December 27, a difference of only one day, and the accident came too quickly, which is regrettable.
Fu Cong is the son of the famous translator and writer Fu Lei. Many people know the father and son through the "Fu Lei Family Letter". In addition to telling the trivialities of life and the deep love between father and son, the letter also mentions many good educational ideas, which have influenced generations of Chinese readers.
Born in 1934, Fu Cong began to learn piano at the age of 8 and a half, and studied piano at the age of 9 under the Italian pianist Mei Baiqi. Later, he went to study abroad, just for the artistic dream in his heart.
Fu Cong is definitely a master figure on the international music stage, and is known as a "piano poet". Fu Cong's achievements in music can be described as very brilliant, but his love life has ups and downs, and he has had 3 marriages.
His first wife was Mila, the daughter of the famous American violinist Menuhin. Menuhin admired Fu Cong's musical talent so much that he betrothed his daughter to him.
The two also had a son, Fu Lingxiao, but the marriage did not last long. In daily life, due to the differences in personality, cultural background, habits, etc. of the two people, there will be some differences in many aspects. Coupled with Fu Cong's perennial performances outside, gathering less and leaving more, the couple's feelings gradually faded, and finally they chose to separate.
The second marriage was very short, only 3 months, and Fu Cong also said that the two could not continue to live, which was a hasty decision.
The third marriage is also the time to accompany Fu Cong for the second half of his life. His wife is Zhuo Yilong, and her husband Fu Cong is a fellow countryman and a pianist. She is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music and has won numerous awards in piano.
In terms of art, Zhuo Yilong can resonate with Fu Cong, he is a "confidant", and both have study abroad experience, and there are many common languages, which may be one of the reasons why this marriage can be maintained for a long time.
In their decades-long marriage, the two have lived a bland life, rarely quarreling and making conflicts.
And now Fu Cong's death, so that everyone feels very sad, and Li Yundi learned of the news, but also sent a text to express disbelief and sadness, although Master Fu Cong left, but his music is eternal, leaving a precious voice for the world.
Subsequently, Lang Lang also sent a message of condolence.
Lang Lang recalled that at the end of the London premiere in 2001, Fu Cong hugged him with tears and highly appreciated his musical talent, which inspired him a lot.
Fu Cong is a clear stream in classical music, pointing out the direction for musicians and becoming a beacon of the spirit.
He once said with a smile in an interview before his death: "After a hundred years, no matter what people say about me, I don't care anyway." The things of fame and fortune behind you, don't care about these things, it doesn't matter."
It can be seen that in the pursuit of art, he only does what he thinks in his heart, fame and fortune are not important, just like his father Fu Lei once said, "as long as the high tide does not make you nervous, the low tide does not make you decadent, it is good."
Although Fu Cong left, the musical works he left behind are enough to make everyone miss for a lifetime. The master of music has gone all the way, may heaven be free of pain and disease.
