Perhaps it was fate,when I was 10 years old, I met the talent scout Mingqing Yu in my life, and I was admitted to the fifth grade of CCOM affiliated primary school and began my road to cello professional. I have often performed with my teacher all over the country, and finished demonstration performance in some large-scale activities and master classes. Such activities gave me a lot of learning experience . During the period of school, I kept the first place in the cello major of the whole grade every semester.
