Fans often only see the good fame(名聲)of famous people. They see the happy smiles and great success of
famous people. But usually they cannot see the hard work or the hours of practice behind the great success.
Li Yundi, a great Chinese piano talent, talked with teens about his art and his job."Of course, the job is hard
work. You need to work hard to be professional. And you also have to play hundreds of concerts, meet fans,
and listen to critics(評論家)."
In 2000, when Li Yundi was 18, he won the top prize at the Chopin International Piano Competition in
Poland. Li was the youngest and the first Chinese to win the prize. Born in Chongqing, Li began to play the
piano when he was seven. His parents spent all their money and bought a piano for him-a luxury (奢侈品) in
the 1980s in China. He worked hard. Every day, he played for eight hours or more at a piano school. He often
played even after school. Li still can't play a beautiful tune without careful preparation (準備). "You need to be
ready (有準備的) on stage (舞臺)," Li said."People are waiting for you. Nobody knows whether (是否) you
have slept enough, whether you have some problems in your life. But you need to play great music for your
audience(聽眾).That's what they want to hear."
