"I learned the erhu with zero foundation, and after more than a month's study, I can play two simple tunes." Chen Huiqin, a student of Erhu class in Hongpu Town School for the Aged in Huining County, said proudly, "Thanks to teacher Feng Dingcheng's tireless guidance during this period of time, so that my erhu level has been improved qualitously, but also a dream come true." With that, Chen played the erhu again, immersing herself in the two tunes she had recently practiced, Little Star and The East Is Red.
In fact, like Chen Huiqin, many of them have no foundation to play the erhu, but they like to watch others play the erhu. Especially in the past, various troupes in the village performed the erhu as a necessary instrument. Many of them have been full of reverence for the teacher who can play the Erhu since childhood, and thus have the dream of learning the Erhu in their hearts. However, they either put their dreams on hold because of busy farm work, they have to give up their dreams because of the limited economic conditions of their families, or they distance themselves from their dreams because of study and work. Now, they come here at the same time for their dreams that have been lost for various reasons before. They come to the school for the elderly to pursue their dreams, pursue their dreams and realize their dreams.
"The students in our class and I are the same age, everyone in the class communication with each other more pleasant, we study together, exchange ideas, common progress, the whole atmosphere is very warm, very harmonious. The students work very hard, not only at school, but also at home. Their erhu skills have improved significantly. As long as they keep at it, they will achieve their dreams."
