The piano is Fu Cong’s lifelong “lover”; music is the refuge of his soul.

Fu Cong, born in Shanghai in 1934, started learning piano at the age of 8 and a half, and studied with Italian pianist Mei Baiqi at the age of 9. In 1954, he went to Poland to study. In March 1955, he won the third place in the "5th Chopin International Piano Competition" and the "Mazurka" Best Prize. In 1959, he left his hometown for the sake of art and became a sensation. Since then, he has traveled to five continents and performed on the international music stage alone, earning the reputation of "Piano Poet".
