Romance fuels violinist's gift
Violinist Ning Feng once saw a ranking of the world's 100 best romantic movies, which listed Charlie Chaplin's romantic comedy City Lights at the very top - ahead of The Bridges of Madison County and Titanic.
"I couldn't agree more," says Ning. "It's a silent movie and Chaplin used the most simple language to tell a good story - a man falling in love with a blind woman. You can feel the emotion and humanity from it."
When it comes to music, the 33-year-old believes that such pure passion is the best way to keep a musician active and inspired. That is why he keeps on recording studio albums and performing internationally - ever since he stood out among the world's myriad young violinists by winning first prize in the International Paganini Competition in 2006.
