For me, one of the most rewarding parts about performing - and why I love doing it so much - is that it's an opportunity to bring culture, peace and joy to an audience. This motivates me to work hard, engaging with the crowd every time and aiming to provide them with a very memorable experience.<\/p>\n

<\/span>I was very impressed with Professor Zhang\u2019s voice and performance. She was absolutely\nenchanting and a real professional singer. She sang many songs including minority\ngroups. She rekindled my naive romanticism for China I had through my childhood and\nteenage years with her fantastic voice and energy. The quality of her voice, perfect\ncontrol and covering different genres of music so professionally, were truly impressive\nand enjoyable. As my wife is a pianist and one of my cousins is an opera singer, I can\nappreciate her professionalism and enthusiasm greatly. Fantastic!\n<\/span><\/div><\/div>

<\/span>\u2026 This may sound strange, but I was actually brought to tears when Hong Zhang was\nsinging! I never heard her sing in person, I was completely taken over, the sound was so\nbeautiful\u2026 And I really hope that many people can learn about the Chinese culture\nthat has so powerfully impressed and amazed me. Thanks again!\n<\/span><\/div><\/div>

<\/span>Many thanks again for participating in and presenting at the conference, especially for\nZhang Laoshi\u2019s lecture recital which is liked and enjoyed by all. Our conference started\nand ended with your songs, I do not think a conference would be more successful without\nyou, Zhang Laoshi.\n<\/span><\/div><\/div>
