Chapter 118 (Part 1) The Chinese’s Old Friend

Professor Ali Wadi informed Zhuo Yang to come today because the Joint Meeting of Music University Professors decided to name a small practice room after Zhuo Yang in recognition of his winning the piano gold medal at the Schumann International Music Competition.

This matter was proposed by Ali Wadi, the chairman of the piano department. Professor Ali Wadi, who is over seventy years old, is highly respected in the art world. Moreover, the old man also has very deep feelings for China.

More than half a century ago, after Nazi Germany annexed neighboring Austria, it began to persecute local Jews. The family of Ali Wadi, a pure-blooded Jew, was living in Vienna, the capital of Austria. Just when the bayonets of the Gestapo had opened the door curtain of their home, Ali Wadi's family was very lucky to be favored by Jesus.

Relying on the famous 'life visa' issued by He Fengshan, the then Consul General of the Chinese Government in Austria, who risked his life, Ali Wadi's family fled to Shanghai, China, together with 4,000 other equally lucky Jews, and was able to serve in the SS Survived the gunpoint. Ali Wadi's friends and neighbors were all sent to concentration camps by the SS because they were too late. Ali Wadi never saw or heard from them again.

Many years later, Mr. Ho Fengshan was hailed as the ‘Chinese Schindler’. His bronze statue stands in the National Memorial Hall in Jerusalem and is forever grateful and remembered by the Israelis.

After becoming famous, Professor Ali Wadi visited China many times for business and private purposes, and was deeply fascinated by China's beautiful humanistic scenery and profound culture. The professor lingers in China, and his profound artistic attainments have benefited many people in China's serious music industry. Many musicians have received his guidance. Zhuo Yang's mother Yang Hong also listened to Professor Ali Wadi's teachings with an open mind.

Professor Ali Wadi is truly an old friend of the Chinese people!

The professor is very fond of China and would not feel well if he did not go to the East for a few days every year. Professor Ali Wadi likes Zhuo Yang very much, even a little doting on him. Zhuo Yang also had great respect for this lovely old man. Every time he met the old professor, his mouth was as sweet as if he had been smeared with aged honey, and he always made the old man feel extremely comfortable.

The naming of the practice room, which satisfies Zhuoyang's vanity, was proposed and led by the big boss Ali Wadi at the professors' joint meeting.

There are countless art universities and colleges around the world.

The University of Music Hannover is one of the universities at the top. Hannover University of Music has a long history, extremely strong teaching staff, and a wide range of majors. The piano department has been ranked first in the world's piano majors for many years.

The musicians trained by Hannover University of Music are as numerous as stars, shining brightly all over the world. Among them, those who have outstanding musical achievements and are renowned in the industry will be awarded a special honor by the Hannover University of Music - naming a classroom or practice room after them. As for the more important things like naming a building or erecting a bronze statue, that will have to wait until you are dead, such as Beethoven, Hyman, Schubert, Liszt...

In traditional European universities, professors have great power. The joint meeting of professors can decide almost all matters of the school. It is truly professorial scholarship. Originally, Zhuo Yang's qualifications and musical achievements were not enough to win this honor. Although the Schumann Gold Medal is not light, there are too many masters who have won such awards of the same level in the history of the University of Music. Zhuo Yang’s point is nothing at all, which at most makes those old artists raise their eyes and scan. He just glanced at it. They pay more attention to a person's musical achievements and status in the music industry. Achievements and status are mainly reflected in how many works you have created? How influential is it in the art world? How many solo concerts have you held? How many serious titles do you have?

And Zhuo Yang has no shit achievements yet. In terms of status, he is still a student. It would have been impossible for such a good thing to happen to him. At least at this stage, there was no need to think about it. However, Professor Ali Wadi, who prefers him as his own grandson, made a very important point at the joint meeting: Zhuoyang is the first person to win the top ten international music awards in the history of the Hannover University of Music and even the world's music universities. The gold medal winner in the competition is a student at school!

This is a great shame for the Music University, and professors can use this matter to challenge all other art universities in the world that they dislike, as well as the professors in those universities. Zhuo Yang’s award is unlike other alumni who have been out of Hannover University of Music for many years. When they achieved achievements or won awards, many of them were already lecturers or even professors at other universities, or had received other education and training elsewhere. , it’s more about putting money on other people’s faces.

But Zhuo Yang is different. He achieved the honor entirely under the training of the Hannover University of Music, and he is still in the process of training. This is amazing. It has pushed the piano department, which was already ranked number one in the world, to a higher level. It feels a bit like being overwhelmed by the high altitude.

For this reason, the Joint Meeting of Respectable Music University Professors decided to make an exception and give Zhuo Yang this honor. Although it is only a 'small' practice room, and although it will not be officially named until Zhuo Yang graduates, it is already It is an honor that many people dream of.

Zhuo Yang came today to choose one of the seven candidate practice rooms given by the professors' joint meeting to be named after him after graduation. After much selection, Zhuo Yang chose a small piano practice room in the Liszt Building where he often went. This practice room is small and exquisite. There are two grand pianos in it, and next door is a very luxurious and large performance hall. The name of the performance hall is Carl Norman.

‘Zhuoyang’s practice room’ - Thinking about it, my whole body felt so good. Zhuoyang’s hurried steps were filled with frivolity, and ‘I’m so vain’ was written all over his face. But the reason why he was in such a hurry was because he had made an appointment with Li Xiaoqing to meet at the gate of the university, and Xiaoqing wanted to accompany him to a senior citizen community to play the piano for his grandparents.

Zhuo Yang was not bored, so he had to show off the piano to the grandparents. This was the community service that the Hannover District Court ruled that he must participate in. Whenever he had time during this period, he hurriedly went to "reform through labor" for a few hours, just to make up for the time required by the court as soon as possible. Although he has participated in similar activities before and does not feel disgusted at all, the feeling between voluntarily participating and being forced to participate by the court is really different.

Li Xiaoqing took a break from her busy schedule, and she just liked being with Zhuo Yangni. She couldn't accompany Zhuoyang during training matches and school, but on Sunday, when both the team and the school were off, she was caught. Besides, Miss Xiaoqing likes to listen to Zhuo Yang play the piano more and more now.

The wind was so strong today that it was almost hard to keep one's eyes open. Hannover is in northern Germany. It is often affected by the air current from the Baltic Sea. The wind comes and disappears suddenly, especially in autumn.

Zhuo Yang rushed to the school gate in a hurry. When he was about to turn at the intersection with dense flower beds on the roadside in the gate, he almost bumped into a beautiful woman coming from the opposite side.
