She started playing the piano at the age of five and became a world-famous singer at the age of twenty with her rendition of "Alina on the Riverbank".
Their debut album sold 20 million copies in more than 30 countries.
Subsequent releases included piano pieces such as "Alice," "Autumn Story," "Wish," and "Starry Night."
This further propelled him step by step to the throne of a world-renowned piano master.
To date, Richard has performed nearly three thousand concerts in more than sixty countries around the world.
They recorded over a thousand songs, sold over 100 million albums, and won over 300 platinum and gold record awards.
Richard, now seventy years old, was once as famous in the world of piano as Wang Yueheng is today in the Chinese pop music scene.
Like Wang Yueheng, he was once suspected by fans of being a time traveler from an alien civilization.
When we were arranging the program.
The CCTV directing team members also had a considerable disagreement about whether Wang Yueheng or Richard should be the headliner.
One of them is a world-class piano master.
One is a rising star singer in the Chinese arts and culture scene.
Regardless of who takes on the role of the final performer, it is very easy to cause dissatisfaction among the other person's fans.
After careful consideration, the decision was finally made.
The CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala production team still gave the precious opportunity to perform as the finale to domestic artist Wang Yueheng.
Aside from nationality and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The most important reason is that Wang Yueheng is not only a singer and musician.
He is also a poet and writer whose works are included in textbooks.
Furthermore, Wang Yueheng's adaptation of the poem "May We All Live Long and Prosper" is more suitable for most Chinese audiences to enjoy together at such an important moment, compared to a piano piece.
"They were so rude! How could they put you in front of a twenty-year-old young artist and give him such an important closing role..."
"As a world-class music master, you should be the one to bring this gala to a grand close!"
I learned that Richard was scheduled to go on stage before Wang Yueheng and was not able to play the role of the finale.
Lynn, Richard's 10-year-old agent and assistant, stared at the program schedule in her hand in disbelief.
In her view, no matter which country the piano master Richard performed in, he would either be the opening act or the final VIP.
Although this is a gala representing a special festival in the Dragon Kingdom.
But she found it hard to accept that a young singer was performing in a position a level above world-class pianist Richard.
After all, in terms of global fame and the honors he has received, Richard is clearly several levels above Wang Yueheng.
According to what Lynn knew about the Dragon Kingdom dialect, the leaders of these CCTV stations were simply ignorant of their own limitations!
"None of that matters, Lynn. I'm already very happy that the official media of the Dragon Kingdom invited me to participate in such an important program and celebrate this extraordinary holiday with them!"
"I've also listened to this young artist's work, and it's outstanding. Through him, I feel like I'm seeing myself when I was younger."
"I believe today's performance will be a feast for our ears."
The pianist Richard, who is over seventy years old, did not complain at all. Instead, he patiently comforted his assistant.
He had also heard from others that Wang Yueheng would be adapting and singing poems at the gala.
After reading the original translation of "Shuidiao Getou".
This elderly overseas piano master is also very much looking forward to Wang Yueheng's arrangement and performance of this musical work.
