Question

【题目】

Ye Xiaogang is known as one of the most famous modern Chinese composers.

He learnt to play the piano at the age of four. His father was a composer who wrote a lot of music for films. But when his father was sent to a farm to work, Ye was only 11 at that time.

Ye had to work on another farm for a year before entering a factory. He worked in the factory for six years until he was 22.

The workers in the factory were friendly and helped him a lot, but he could not play the piano any more. No matter how hard he worked on the farm or in the factory, he never left music. He just waited for chances. He dreamt of becoming a pianist.

When Ye could play the piano again, he practised hard every day in order to go to the Central Conservatory of Music in 1978, but the school would not recruit (招收) piano students that year. In the end, Ye chose composition (作曲) as his major although he was not familiar with it.

In 1980, he studied at Cambridge University (剑桥大学). Then he went to a famous school of music in the US in 1987 to take more courses.
