"Then, I decided to take it seriously, visiting family to learn about more about our history and sought as many opportunities as possible to perform not only in Shanxi province, but also around the country," he says, adding that the band's techniques have been passed down from one generation to another without written records, and that he is trying to write down the history of the band, as well as background information about each repertoire and skill.

Gong Yuhong was taught to play the suona by his father when he was about 6.

He grew up by watching his father, uncles and grandfather playing the instrument, so it was natural for him to learn, but as a boy, he preferred to play with his friends rather than practice the suona at home alone.
