Li Yundi is a classical pianist and called “Prince of the Piano” in China. He is also well-known for being the youngest pianist who won the International Chopin Piano Competition in 2000, at the age of 18.

Although he comes from a family of non-musicians, Li took to music early. When he was three years old, his parents bought him an accordion (手风琴) because he was so attracted by an accordion player in a shopping mall that he refused to leave. Only one year later, he won the top prize at the Chongqing Children’s Accordion Competition. Li began studying the piano at the age of seven. Two years later, his teacher introduced him to Dan Zhaoyi, one of the most famous piano teachers in China. Dan taught Li for nine years. Li’s dream was to become a professional (职业的) pianist.

Sandy:	How long have you lived in West Hill, Mr.Hu?
Mr.Hu:	I’ve lived here all my life. I met my wife here and 　　　　we got married. This area was called Taihe Village before.
Sandy:	When did they change the name?
Mr.Hu:	5　When 　　　　the West Hill underground station was built, the government started to 　　　　take down the wooden houses in this area. Since June 2000, Taihe Village 　　　　has become history.
Sandy:	What do you miss most about Taihe Village?
Mr.Hu:	10　I 　　　　miss many things about Taihe Village. I was a dentist and everyone in 　　　　Taihe Village knew me well. Now, I'm old and I can only sell medicine to 　　　　people in the street. In the past, there were many stone and wooden 　　　　houses around here. Also, there were big trees in the village. The air 　　　　was very fresh.
Sandy:	Did you have noise pollution from cars and trains?
Mr.Hu:	15　Yes, 　　　　but not very serious.
Sandy:	I’ve heard that the food stalls were very famous 　　　　here. Is it true?
Mr.Hu:	20　Yes. 　　　　The food stalls sold very good snacks but they all moved. That's why it 　　　　was easy to find mice here before. Everyone in the village was used to 　　　　seeing mice. We weren’t surprised to see mice in the street at night.
Sandy:	That's terrible!
Mr.Hu:	25　We're 　　　　glad that it has improved so much but I really miss everything here in 　　　　the past. Many of my friends moved because the government gave them new 　　　　flats in new towns. I sometimes feel lonely. Every time I see a 　　　　chessboard, I think about them.
Sandy:	Mr.Hu, thank you so much for the information. 　　　　Although the village has disappeared, it is still beautiful in your 　　　　heart.
