Did Pianist Lang Lang Intend To Snub The U.S.?
January 24, 2011
At last week's White House state dinner honoring Chinese President Hu Jintao, classical pianist Lang Lang played the song "My Motherland," which is widely seen in China as anti-American. Host Melissa Block speaks to Lang Lang about the controversy, asking whether he intended to snub the U.S.
......
.......
BLOCK: The song that you played, in the movie, in the "Battle on Shangganling Mountain," which came out in 1956, it is a very nationalistic song and it...
Mr. LANG LANG: You know, I never know about that movie. I just learned it afterward. It's like, 1956. This is when my mother was two years old. I mean, this is 55 years ago. And when I grew up, I only hear this as a beautiful melody. That's it. And this piece is very popular as a traditional Chinese song.
BLOCK: I've been told that this song is a favorite at karaoke bars.
Mr. LANG LANG: Yeah. I mean, it's just, you know, it's a song that, like, everyone in the Chinese world knows about the melody. You know, I mean, that's the truth. I mean, I choose it because its beautiful melody. I have this connection through the melody. It's a really beautiful melody.
BLOCK: Well, Lang Lang, what were your - how did you react when you heard that in China, on the Web, people were adding meaning to this choice thinking you were sort of thumbing your nose at the United States in some way? What did you think?
Mr. LANG LANG: I feel very sad. You know, I very sad. And, you know, and I must say, disappointing. Because, you know, as a person, what I'm trying to do, and what my missions are, you know, making music. And, you know, I'm very honored that people inviting me to play in those great events and to connect us to classical music and to music, to Chinese music and to American music, to, you know, to world music. And once, you know, people use it as a political issue, that makes me really sad because I am a musician. I'm not a politician.
BLOCK: Well, Lang Lang, it's good to talk to you. Thanks very much.
Mr. LANG LANG: OK. Bye-bye.
沒看出朗朗悔青了腸子,倒是看到被別人把表演政治化感到SAD。
不知道誰寫信給白宮告發,把這個表演跟政治掛鉤的呢?
從孔子和朗朗這兩件事可以看出,中國「民運」分子將是下一個獨柴集團,這個是我一早就說了的。連中共都拋棄的文革手法,全被中國「民運」運用上了。 |
