Before I reading this book, I think it is boring and unrealistic. But when I finished , I found I am wrong.
In this book is mainly about Lang Lang's experience, such as his childhood, education, race, and his opportunities. He loves music, especially piano, in order to it, he went to Beijing from Shenyang to the United States, and finally won the whole world. Before reading this book I feel that Lang Lang's home should be a relatively good background in order to allow the development of his career so well. In his childhood, no matter how hot, he must practice everyday in the rental room, without the air conditioning. If he has not scholaship, he can not go the United States, because he has no money to buy the air ticket. Because of his persistence, his efforts, finally he did not miss the opportunity, because a number of coincidence, he become successful.
"Opportunity has always been left to the people of the preparation." This is true, after reading this book, I have a feeling that opportunities are not left behind their own, are to rely on for yourself, even if you have great ability, not effort. Finally you will not succeed.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Lang Lang's book. Yes, I think many people would think, like you did, that Lang Lang must have had quite a privileged background if he could study the piano. But then, they realise after reading his book that maybe they have a more comfortable home and were more privileged! That's why his story is inspiring, isn't it?
