I think the highest state of music is to forget oneself and integrate the whole person into the music. People are music and music is people.

When I first started to get into music, I was lucky because I met a good mentor.

When I was going to apply for a drum teacher job in an organization, the boss asked me to play a few songs for him to see. After I finished playing, the boss said, are you sure you really love me? Music? (Because before I started playing drums, I told him that I love music very much and music is an indispensable part of my life).

When I heard him ask this question, I asked, what’s wrong? Did I play poorly? The boss said that the music you play has no emotion, and your style of playing is hard without any ups and downs, which is very monotonous.

At that time, I was stunned. I asked my boss how I should practice to express the emotion of the song, and how I should play so that it would not be so monotonous. At that time, I had already forgotten that I was here. I applied for the job because the issues he pointed out were also the issues I paid the most attention to.

I usually listen to songs every day and sometimes sing. When I sing, I sing with immersion and express my emotions and feelings, so I understand what the boss means.

At that moment, I almost knelt down and worshiped him as my teacher because I saw his performance. Then, I asked him, Teacher, can you accept me as your disciple? The boss smiled and said, ok, I also asked by the way, do I have to pay? The boss said no need. Ha ha! I am very happy to have met a person who really understands music and is also a very good teacher.
