“Number One” was a phrase my father—and, for that matter, my mother—repeated time and time again. It was a phrase spoken by my parents’ friends and by their friends’ children. Whenever adults discussed the great Chinese painters and sculptors from the ancient dynasties, there was always a single artist named as Number One. There was the Number One leader of a manufacturing plant, the Number One worker, the Number One scientist, the Number One car mechanic. In the culture of my childhood, being best was everything. It was the goal that drove us, the motivation that gave life meaning. And if, by chance or fate or the blessings of the generous universe, you were a child in whom talent was evident, Number One became your mantra. It became mine. I never begged my parents to take off the pressure. I accepted it; I even enjoyed it. It was a game, this contest among aspiring pianists, and although I may have been shy, I was bold, even at age five, when faced with a field of rivals.
Born in China to parents whose musical careers were interrupted by the Cultural Revolution, Lang Lang has emerged as one of the greatest pianists of our time. Yet despite his fame, few in the West know of the heart-wrenching journey from his early childhood as a prodigy in an industrial city in northern China to his difficult years in Beijing to his success today.
Journey of a Thousand Miles documents the remarkable, dramatic story of a family who sacrificed almost everything—his parents’ marriage, financial security, Lang Lang’s childhood, and their reputation in China’s insular classical music world—for the belief in a young boy’s talent. And it reveals the devastating and intense relationship between a boy and his father, who was willing to go to any length to make his son a star.
An engaging, informative cultural commentator who bridges East and West, Lang Lang has written more than an autobiography: his book opens a door to China, where Lang Lang is a cultural icon, at a time when the world’s attention will be on Beijing. Written with David Ritz, the coauthor of many bestselling autobiographies, Journey of a Thousand Miles is an inspiring story that will give readers an appreciation for the courage and sacrifice it takes to achieve greatness.

你没有弹琴的手,我没有弹琴的心
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
千里之行:我的故事,不隐瞒,这本书曾被我用来在厕所打发时间用。文字情节肯定离优美,真实差远了,不过还是在去年年底每天那么几分钟里慢慢征服了我。 可能是因为我自己被父母逼着学琴的日子帮我找到了小小的同感,不同的是,郎朗的确是有天赋的人,我不过是个有那么点小音乐... (展开)变态的父亲 变态的生活 成就了郎朗

"对我而言,对古典音乐的喜爱远比恪守那些礼仪规则来得更重要。所以我并不在意中国观众在乐章间而不是在乐曲终了时鼓掌。” One day some of the kids asked me what music I played, and I listed Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. "Oh, dead man's music," they replied.

some of the stories had been over fabricated too much, lost the authenticity by adding too much drama.
