Keeping traditional sounds alive

Next month, Fan Weiqing and 14 female students will play guzheng in Beijing. Here, she speaks about how she fell in love with the traditional instrument and what she is doing to share its music. Chen Nan reports.

Guzheng player Fan Weiqing can't forget the moment in 1987 when as a student at the middle school attached to the Central Conservatory of Music she attended a violin recital at the Beijing Concert Hall.

Listening to the music, Fan, who was 14 then, promised herself that she would one day perform solo at this venue.
