Geniuses are existences that are envied by everyone. They seem to be able to effortlessly obtain more things that ordinary people can't get with their efforts. But there are also some geniuses who were astonished when they were young, but fell into oblivion when they grew up.

In China, there are two very famous piano geniuses-Lang Lang and Wendi Li. Few people know that once upon a time, there was a person as famous as Lang Lang and Wendi Li, and this person was Shen Wenyu.

Shen Wenyu’s piano talent can rival Lang Lang. However, the wings of music given to him by God were broken by his parents.

Beethoven-like genius

When it comes to piano musicians, Beethoven is an inevitable topic. Beethoven was born into a not-so-rich family, but had amazing piano talent.

After his father discovered his son's outstanding talent, he devoted himself to teaching his son, and finally cultivated a pianist who has been amazing for hundreds of years.

Shen Wenyu’s childhood is strikingly similar to Beethoven’s. Shen Wenyu's family is not wealthy. His father, Xiao Yuansheng, is always addicted to stock trading and other things. He always complains about the family's meager money and does not care about Shen Wenyu's education.

Later, Xiao Yuansheng accidentally discovered that Shen Wenyu was very interested in the piano. When he mentioned the piano, his son's eyes immediately shone with light. After discovering this matter, Xiao Yuansheng was very excited. In his opinion, his son must be extremely talented at the piano.

So, from then on, Shen Wenyu began his piano career. At that time, his family was not wealthy, but his father borrowed money from everywhere just to buy a piano for his son.

From then on, Shen Wenyu, who was only a few years old, sat in front of the piano and played piano music all day long.

As Xiao Yuansheng expected, Shen Wenyu is indeed very talented at the piano. Within a few years, Shen Wenyu was praised by many pianists.

At the age of nine, this piano prodigy gave his first concert. In this concert, Shen Wenyu showed the world the style of this rising star.

At the age of 12, Shen Wenyu was admitted to the Karlsruhe Music Academy in Germany and became a student of the very famous German pianist Kemmering.

From then on, this piano genius started the first half of his cheating life.

At the age of 16, Shen Wenyu played piano at a Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, USA. Due to his outstanding and successful performance, he came into the eyes of foreign media, which reported extensively on him. , not stingy with words of praise.

At that time, Shen Wenyu was in his prime and high-spirited. No one could have imagined that later on, he would step by step into a dead end that was difficult to turn back.

Use "love" as a cage

"Love" is an eternal topic that humans discuss. Among the many "loves", parental love is also one of the most discussed topics. one.

As the saying goes: "If parents love their children, they have far-reaching plans." However, in history, I don't know how many Chinese parents thought they "loved" their children, but instead sent their children step by step into the abyss.

In the eyes of Shen Wenyu's parents, his biggest priority is practicing piano, and there is no need to care about anything else.

Because of this, since childhood, everything around Shen Wenyu, from eating and dressing to studying abroad, no matter how big or small, has been taken care of by her mother alone.

Later, Shen Wenyu went to Germany to study, and his mother stayed with him all the time, taking care of the chores around him.

For this phenomenon, the teacher who has always advocated independence feels very bad and has also expressed opinions to Shen Wenyu's family. However, Xiao Yuansheng does not pay attention to people's doubts and even thinks that others are meddling in other people's business. , slowly, no one mentioned this matter again.

When he grew up, Shen Wenyu also felt bad about his mother's meticulous care, but since he had been a good boy since he was a child, he was embarrassed to tell his mother what he thought.

However, it didn’t take long for Shen Wenyu to gradually realize the pain of being over-controlled by his mother. At that time, he fell in love with a girl in Germany.

Like many Chinese parents, after learning that her son was in love, his mother immediately expressed dissatisfaction and even directly asked Shen Wenyu to break up with the girl.

Later, under the pressure of his family, Shen Wenyu finally parted ways with the girl.

After that love, Shen Wenyu finally realized his parents' desire for control. He gradually felt suffocated by such a strong desire for control, and even had conflicts with his mother more than once.

Finally one time, Shen Wenyu persuaded his mother to allow him to perform alone in another place. Unexpectedly, on that one occasion, he missed the stop while riding in the car - his ability to be independent had long since slowly disappeared due to his parents' meticulous arrangements.

After returning home, he fell silent in the face of his mother's hidden happiness and pride beneath her worries. From then on, Shen Wenyu never refused his parents' arrangements for him.

Shen Wenyu's mother, in the name of "love", weaved a cage and trapped her son in it, causing him to gradually lose his ability to adapt to society.

The Eagle with Broken Wings

My mother’s control alone restricted Shen Wenyu’s wings from soaring, while his father’s control over him made him almost lose everything. future.

Shen Wenyu in Germany is a fledgling eagle who is ambitious and not afraid of any difficulties. At that time, in his mind, he was the next piano master.

His teacher Kaimolin is also very optimistic about him. However, there is no shortage of outstanding piano masters abroad, especially in Europe, the birthplace of modern music.

Therefore, in the years when Shen Wenyu first started playing on stage, the salary he could get was not very much.

At that time, Lang Lang, who was as famous as Shen Wenyu, was popular all over China. He could earn tens of millions for a performance, and he was even received by leaders when he traveled.

But Shen Wenyu was left out in the cold abroad. Faced with this gap, Xiao Yuansheng was very dissatisfied, so he asked Shen Wenyu to return to China and participate in Chinese performances, so that they could get more money.

Later, Shen Wenyu ignored his teacher's opinion and chose to agree to his father's request and returned to China. In Xiao Yuansheng's eyes, his son's ability is no weaker than Lang Lang, so he can enjoy the same treatment as Lang Lang.

Unexpectedly, after returning to China, although Shen Wenyu signed with a good brokerage company, the treatment he received was not as good as Lang Lang. After seeing this situation, Xiao Yuansheng was very dissatisfied and often clashed with his son's agent.

After that, he directly terminated the contract with the brokerage company and let his wife serve as his son's agent.

Shen Wenyu’s parents did not know the rules of the music industry, and he himself knew nothing about these things. Therefore, during that period, they stepped on many landmines and were even banned from the industry.

Faced with his son's precarious future, Xiao Yuansheng still didn't care and insisted on letting his son give up his innate aura and pursue flashy skills to please his few fans.

In this way, Shen Wenyu fell step by step from the clouds of the piano master, and never climbed up again. If Shen Wenyu is an eagle soaring in the sky, then Xiao Yuansheng is the one who broke his wings.

Shen Wenyu was once as talented as Lang Lang and had a bright future. However, his parents’ strong desire for control and eagerness for quick success and quick success depleted this genius until now. The crowd disappeared.

Shen Wenyu’s experience is both sighing and thought-provoking. I advise parents all over the world not to ruin their children's lives for the sake of immediate small gains and self-righteous "love".
