Renowned pianist Lang Lang (L) poses for a photo with Yi Qunlin, a construction worker from Shenzhen, during their meeting in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, on Tuesday. Lang gave Yi some advice on improving his piano skills. Yi’s rise to fame began when videos of his impromptu piano performances on a bustling pedestrian street in Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen, home to one of the world’s largest electronics markets, went viral last year. Lang gave a thumbs-up to Yi’s “spirit of loving life” in a social media post after Yi said he wished to have guidance from Lang during a visit to CCTV headquarters on Jan. 18. Yi has been invited to attend the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
