Kong Xiangdong: My first piano

The keys have different keys, and the piano sound is also difficult to tune, but I have never sent this story with the story ...

Kong Xiangdong practiced the piano when he was a kid

One day in 1974, my mother took me to a aunt Tian surnamed Tian Tian, ​​Sichuan North Road. Listening to my mother said that Aunt Tian had a piano and asked me to play the song. The piano is sold to us.

Although I started to play piano at that time, in the environment, I had to buy a piano, which was too luxurious, so I could only practice on the cardboard piano that my mother painted me first. When you practice two hands, my mother will sing with me; sometimes I will borrow piano exercises from relatives and friends to practice for 20 or thirty minutes. At that time, the old piano was sold on the old piano, but the mother eventually heard the introduction of other children and parents of piano children. Finding this Aunt Tian, ​​but Aunt Tian had a condition: she had to see the child who wanted to buy the piano first. Only then did it decide whether to sell her piano.

When my mother took me into the house of Auntian Tian, ​​she saw that there was only one bed, a five -bucket cabinet, a table and two stools except for a vertical piano ... After listening to me, Aunt Tian touched it. After touching my head, I looked back and found that her eyes were moist. I only heard her say to my mother, "I can come to move the piano next week." After I came out of Auntian's house, my mother said to me: "Aunt Tian's son is seriously ill in Xinjiang. He needs a lot of money to return to Shanghai to see a doctor, so he will sell her piano."

A week later, my mother and my uncle took me to aunt Tian to move the piano. When everyone moved the piano from the narrow staircase, Aunt Tian was crying like a tear, and supported the piano to reluctant. When she was farewell, her mother couldn't bear to see the crying of Aunt Tian. After giving her 780 yuan, she asked the uncle to put the money they brought together and gave it 60 yuan more. In this way, I have the first piano in this life. When this year's piano moved into the home, I bounced on the left and right to swing the keys, and I was happy to dance. My mother touched my head and said, "Dongdong, too aggrieved you, my mother lets you learn Qin, but let you play such a poor piano. "I responded loudly:" Mom, I finally have my own piano! Just make a sound, and I will win a new piano when I grow up! "Because In this piano, more than 600 yuan in debt at home. In order to repay the debt, her mother cut her clothes for her neighbors, and she became the motivation and strength of my piano to learn the piano; because of this piano, I started to learn from Teacher Zhang Yongqing in 1975 in 1975. Qin, who was admitted to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music in September 1978, has since embarked on the road to learning music.

As for why Aunt Tian had such a valuable musical instrument and what experience encountered, it became the secret that the piano with the story had only known. Today, this piano is still next to me. I have not went to repair it nor send it away. It is still the original. Although the keys are uneven, the sound of the piano sound is difficult, but as long as I hear this one, The sound of the piano can always evoke the deep nostalgia for the past, and I don't know where the Aunt Tian is now ...
