Recently, the video of Chen Yimiao, a Chinese post-00s national music girl, giving a speech in an American museum has attracted wide attention from netizens.

In Chen Yimiao's opinion, the erhu plays four roles around her - pet, friend, idol and "the most mysterious person".

"Because as long as you love your pet, it will not leave you. The erhu is the same to me. My efforts to it will never be let down, and I will get endless feedback. I have stayed with erhu every day since I was young. It has been with me for the longest time. I will tell it what I want to say every day, and it will reply to my beautiful melody, just like a close friend. And we regard it as an idol because of our love for idols There will be no demands and selflessness. I think the same is true of erhu; Sometimes I always feel that it has a magical power, which can make me stand on the stage and sparkle, or let me practice hard in the room for 12 hours. The erhu is like a mysterious person with magic power, always surprises me... "
