It is also his dad that made Lang Lang come this far. Parents play a very important rol in one's success.

Papa Lang used to be a professional Erhu performer.  However, due to many reasons, he switched to a policeman.  But he is musical and artistic for sure.  :D

The brilliant Lang Lang, a longtime favourite of mine excels in this duet with his father, Lang Guo-ren. The music is fun and laughs at itself. The ancient instrument leads the piano and  then later, dances with the piano, an embrace of two rhythms. The sum product of these virtuosos produces a light care-free masterpiece with such a loving intertwining of father and son. I see it as a musical interpretation of love, life and the marvellous expression of being alive. Thank you so much for this admirable video presentation.

Person 1: I have a piano with 88 keys/strings and it sounds majestic.
Person 2: I have a guitar with only 6 strings and 19 frets and it rocks.
Person 3: I have a violin with 4 strings and no frets and it sounds romantic.
Person 4: I have an erhu. It has only two strings and no fingerboard at all. It sounds like all of those...and a horse!
Persons 1-3:
As an aside, anyone here galloping at the 3:30 mark?
