When Lang Lang was 2 and a half years old, he was attracted by the "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" played by Tom Cat in the cartoon "Tom and Jerry", and thus developed a strong interest in the piano player's fingers. Without a teacher, he played the basic melody on the domestic upright piano at home. From then on, his father Lang Guoren began to teach him the piano.
