Dong Yanduo is very busy every day, because since June last year, she plays suona in the Douyin live broadcast room for one and a half hours at noon and at night almost every day, unless the China Coal Mine Art Troupe she is in has a rehearsal task, and the live broadcast is basically uninterrupted, even if it is a little bit. Not feeling well, she persisted. "The love for suona and the idea of making more people like suona are the source of my motivation," she said.

The suona is actually a very exhausting musical instrument. Dong Yanduo said that in her childhood, few parents were willing to let girls learn to play suona, because women's lung capacity is smaller than that of men, and they must endure extra hardships to play suona well. But Dong Yanduo has only three sisters. Their father is a suona folk artist. They really want to pass on what they have learned all their lives. Dong Yanduo, who has shown enough musical talent, has broken the "suona passing from men to women" by accident. The traditional concept has become his father's suona heir.

But since she started learning suona, Dong Yanduo has never wavered. She had a total of 3 teachers. Father can be said to be the first. He pays attention to oral teaching, tempering Dong Yanduo's strong will, and practicing suona for two hours a day is unstoppable. Later, she worshipped Hou Yanqiu, "the first female suona woman in China" as her teacher. Hou Yanqiu taught Dong Yanduo solid basic skills, and also taught her the good qualities of life: kindness, sincerity, and gratitude. This has a very important influence on Dong Yanduo's life. After being recommended to the China Conservatory of Music, Dong Yanduo learned from the teacher who inherited from the left. What he brought to Dong Yanduo was the improvement of learning ability, the expansion of thinking, and the understanding and perception of music.

Dong Yanduo is very proud that suona is now a veritable Internet celebrity musical instrument. She has been invited to participate in TV variety shows such as "Happy Heroes", "The King of Masked Singers", "I Am a Singer", "Fenghua Chinese Music" and "National Music Ceremony". "Suona's artistic personality and charm are unparalleled. It brings the atmosphere of the scene to a climax every time. A Western band may not be able to hold down a suona." Especially in the "National Music Ceremony" program, Dong Yanduo's dazzling performance The technical performance shocked the audience and won unanimous praise from music professionals such as Wu Tong and Sa Dingding.

Nowadays, the attitude of the whole society towards national musical instruments has changed significantly. "Poverty alleviation and rural revitalization have changed the appearance of rural areas and people's perceptions. The proportion of urban population in my country is increasing. Coupled with the development of the Internet, there are many opportunities for people to get in touch with folk music." Now almost all schools in Beijing have folk ensembles. There are suona players. Before the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Dong Yanduo was also the leader of two elementary school folk orchestras in addition to her own job. She was busy teaching children how to play suona every day.

Due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Dong Yanduo moved the classroom to the Douyin live broadcast room. Her account "Dawn Flower-Duoduo" currently has 569,000 fans. Every live broadcast is like Dong Yanduo's solo concert. Every time, she designs the theme of the live broadcast in advance, arranges the repertoire, dresses carefully, and carefully prepares the tunes ordered by the fans. She usually spends half of the live time playing the choreographed repertoire, and the other half is ordered by fans. Sometimes new fans will order suona classics such as "A Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix", and sometimes Dong Yanduo will be asked to play popular songs and Western music, from the well-known "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Radsky March" to the soundtrack of blockbuster movies. They are all willing to try, thus unlocking more ways and means of suona performance. Among the more than 130 videos she posted on the Douyin platform, the top one is "Erquan Reflecting the Moon". She used suona to play this erhu song so touchingly that it was amazing. Sometimes the song Dong Yanduo ordered by fans has never been heard before and it is difficult. You need to go back to prepare scores, ensembles, etc., and play it next time. This also enriched Dong Yanduo's repertoire library and exercised her ability. "It can be said that the fans are making me grow, and I am very grateful to them." She also accepted more than 100 apprentices from all over the world, and their sincere love for suona and The excellent performance in study and practice also made Dong Yanduo feel that the promotion of folk music on the Douyin platform was "right!"

Dong Yanduo has more than 20 suonas. The one she cherishes most is the one made by Xiaoyetan, which was passed on to her by her father. It is older than her age. "Suona is the foundation of my life and an indispensable part of my life." With the development of the times, more and more women are playing suona. Dong Yanduo hopes that the suona can belong to the fields and can be used in the hall of elegance. "My dream is to have my own suona studio and suona training school in the future, so I have to work harder now," she said.
