In Beijing

We returned to Singapore from Beijing on 31st of December 2007. This trip in Beijing is very successful.

Secretary Zhu Hong (Beijing Arts & Crafts Association), Director Wu Ying (Head of Piano Department, Central Conservatory of Music), Dr. Bai Geng Sheng (Federal Member of China Arts Council, Secretariat Secretary) heard me and my brother play the piano on 30th Dec 2007.

Secretary Zhu wrote to my mother a letter :'I had the pleasure of attending the tea reception conducted by the two youngsters and was greatly moved by its great success...It is my sincere hope and belief that these two kids will make greater achievements in their studies and that they will progress to be successful professionals.'

Director Wu Ying said, ‘Congratulations on these two little friends' perfect performance. Though it is common practice for the parents in China to make great contributions to their children, it came as a pleasant surprise to see overseas compatriots share the spirit .I wish you all the best.'

Dr. Bai praised: ‘As for Chung Yee brothers, they have been progressing at a remarkable pace and can be truly said as “Arts Genius”. Their genius lies not only in itself but also in their characters. They have demonstrated a super faculty understanding and have come to realize the true meaning of art. In the Chinese world, this is the first time I have learned that brothers of merely 9 and 13 have been both enrolled by Manhattan School of Music. I extend to you my sincere congratulations and firmly hope that you will do credit to the motherland.'
