When he was just 3 years old, his father took Lang Lang to piano lessons. He studied for an hour or two at a time, but he didn't feel tired and he enjoyed learning very much. Dad discovered that Lang Lang not only had musical talent, but also could endure hardship. When Lang Lang was 9 years old, his father asked him to go to the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing to study piano. So he wrote a resignation letter to the leader of the unit, which basically said: "I have to go to Beijing to attend cultural classes every morning and study in the afternoon." In order to learn more about piano, his father would stand outside Lang Lang’s classroom to “eavesdrop” on every lesson. After class, the father and son would still discuss the teacher’s lesson while eating. In 2006, he was admitted to the Primary School Affiliated to the Central Conservatory of Music with first place. Lang Lang had to complete 8 hours of training every day. Gradually, he became proficient in playing the very difficult Tchaikovsky "First Piano". "Concerto", and he can also play Rachmaninoff's "Piano Concerto No. 3". Later, even the famous conductor Maazel was surprised: "Where did Lang Lang lay his piano foundation?" "Someone told him: "Lang Lang learned it in China. "After the 13-year-old Lang Lang won the first place in the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, his "good days" had already begun. Lang Lang and his father Lang Guoren, who resigned from public office, rented a second-floor apartment with poor conditions in Baizhifang, Beijing. In the second floor of the building, the kitchen and toilet are shared. The father and son are squeezed into one bedroom. Apart from a better stereo and a necessary Xinghai piano, there is not even a TV for the father and son. Deliberately creating a tense and fulfilling working environment, Lang Lang lives a life between school and home. He goes to school to study cultural classes in the morning and practices piano under the guidance of teacher Zhao Pingguo in the afternoon. Like all children from dual-income families, Lang Lang rushed home with his schoolbag and monthly bus tickets. After arriving home, Lang Lang would continue to practice on the Xinghai piano. If his father came back late, Lang Lang would go to a shop alone and spend a few dollars to buy a bowl of porridge and a tray of steamed dumplings to fill his stomach. "On the first day he arrived in Beijing, he was scolded by his neighbors. On the second day, the police came to check his household registration. On the third day, the neighborhood committee came to visit him. He said that you should stop playing the piano. Your piano sound is making people crazy. On the fourth day, the children downstairs said that my homework score dropped from 100 to 70 just because of you. I will fail after another week of playing. Bad news one after another. What followed was that you were teased by your classmates at school, and your accent was that of a Northeastern farmer..." In the film "Lang Lang's Song", Lang Lang recalled his sad journey to school. Although he practiced hard, Lang Lang unexpectedly suffered The piano teacher warned me, "The piano teacher doesn't like me. He keeps telling me every day that you can't become a pianist and advises me to go back to Shenyang." "A series of setbacks and the embarrassment of study conditions brought "Lang's father" to a state of mental collapse. When he could no longer face it all, he finally expressed his thoughts to Lang Lang, "Here you go. Three choices, the first is to return to Shenyang, the second is to jump off the building, and the third is to take medicine." When Lang Lang heard the choice given to him by his father, "I didn't know what to do at the time. I thought jumping off the building would be too scary. , just say take medicine. ”

“When I started taking it, I suddenly realized that this was a world I hated, but I didn’t want to take medicine. Then I took the medicine and threw it at my dad and said, “Take it.” I won't eat it. Then my dad started beating me, and I resisted for the first time. Then I started scolding the piano, Beijing, and all the unhappy things. "Every time Lang Lang's father recalls such a cruel scene, he can't help but shed tears.
