Unexpectedly, at the end of 2020, there was sad news, on December 28, local time, according to the Austrian music channel, pianist Fu Cong died in the United Kingdom due to infection with the new crown virus, at the age of 86.
This is undoubtedly sad news, according to Fu Cong's disciples, Fu Cong has been diagnosed with new crown pneumonia hospitalized for two weeks, but he still has not survived this global disaster. Many netizens also expressed shock at the news of Fu Cong's death and sent condolences one after another.
Fu Cong is known as a "piano poet", and everyone's understanding of Fu Cong began with a family letter from his father Fu Lei. I still remember the shock of this "Fu Lei Family Letter" when I was in school, and I was touched by Fu Lei's deep fatherly love for his son, and now the son Fu Cong mentioned in this family letter has also passed away, which is really emotional.
Fu Cong was very successful in his career in this life, but he did have ups and downs emotionally. Fu Cong had three marriages in this life, the first wife was the Daughter of the American Violinist Menuhin, Mila, Who can be said to be a standard white rich beauty, very beautiful and tall, her father admired Fu Cong's talent very much, and also agreed to the marriage of his daughter and Fu Cong.
The two also gave birth to a son, Fu Lingxiao, but the marriage did not last long, but the personalities of the two were too different, and Mila's temperament was direct and impatient, which was a typical Westerner's straight-forward personality. However, Fu Cong is introverted and not good at words, so it also causes contradictions and differences between the two in all aspects of life.
And Fu Cong focused on his career, performing outside for many years, and gathering less and leaving more crushed the marriage, so in the end the two chose to separate. According to the news, the mixed-race son of the two, Fu Lingxiao, did not inherit his father's musical path, but became a financial talent.
Soon after, Fu Cong met his second wife, the daughter of the South Korean ambassador to Morocco, and the marriage lasted even shorter, only three months, and Fu Cong himself said that the two could no longer continue to live, which was a hasty marriage. Perhaps there is indeed a reason why it is impossible to continue to live, this marriage is really like a flash of fireworks and fleeting.
And this last third marriage is also to accompany Fu Cong through the second half of his life, and his wife, who has been accompanying Fu Cong at the time of his death, is also a pianist, named Zhuo Yilong. Zhuo Yilong is also a very beautiful woman, 6 years younger than Fu Cong, Zhuo Yilong was born in Shanghai, grew up in Fujian, and later went to school in the United Kingdom and graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Music.
She was awarded the Royal Conservatory of Music and was the first recipient of the Paris Conservatory of Music. Therefore, in terms of music, he is a "confidant" who can highly resonate with Fu Cong. The two married in the mid-1970s and have lived a quiet life ever since.
Perhaps it is the bloodline of the same Huaxi children, the two are more tacit when they get along, they can better understand each other's attitude to life, and they have been able to keep the years quiet in decades of married life. According to people familiar with the matter, Zhuo Yilong is also a woman with a large temperature, although mandarin is not good, she still tries to pronounce it clearly and speak softly and gently.
Fu Cong's death has lost another pearl for the piano industry, and Li Yundi also posted shock and sadness after learning the news. Although Mr. Fu Cong passed away, his music still remains in the hearts of the world, and such a "Chinese piano poet" will also always be respected by everyone.
