I am 14 years old and I come from Beijing, China. Currently, I am studying at The Affiliated High School of China Conservatory of Music. Since a very young age, I have been devoted to music, which has been an essential part of my life. I enjoy rich, delicate and brisk tunes, which are coherent and broad. In 2020, I won the 1st prize at the VI International Music Festival of Melbourne-Beijing Region Qualification Trials. In 2023, I participated in Irvine Conservatory International Music Competition and won the 1st prize. As a result, I was invited to perform at the winners' concert and awards ceremony at Carnegie Hall in 2024. In January 2024, I won the silver award at the V Ferenc Liszt International Youth Piano Competition (China Semi Finals). In the future, I hope to have more opportunities to perform, making my skills and performance more recognizable, approved and appreciated. I really admire the First Snowflakes by Balys Dvarionas, and I sincerely hope to have the chance to perform this beautiful piece on the stage in Lithuania.
