.     Chapter 267: Cracking the Chinese piano education system

"Yufan, order whatever you like, don't be polite." Li Li sat opposite Liu Yufan in the cafe and said with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Li, don't be so polite, just give me a cup of coffee." Liu Yufan looked at Li Li sitting opposite him, and nodded at him with a smile.

After Li Yi's literacy last night, Liu Yufan has gained some new understanding of the profession of journalists. Although Li Li seems very easy-going at the moment, Liu Yufan's nerves are a little nervous, for fear that some words will be taken out of context by the reporter and trapped himself.

After ordering two cups of coffee and some desserts, Li Li habitually took out the recorder, opened it and placed it on the table, took out the notebook, and then started chatting with Liu Yufan with a smile.

"Yufan, I'm going to give you an exclusive interview. To be honest, I've given many celebrities all the interviews, but it's rare to be as young as you. Haha, your performance was really successful last night, and I've become your music fan." Li Li complimented Liu Yufan.

"Thank you!" Liu Yufan nodded at Li Li with a smile.

"By the way, Yufan, when did you start learning piano?" After a few greetings, Li Li habitually turned to the topic.

"Well, I was probably in the fifth and sixth grades of elementary school, but at the beginning I was not in the piano, but on the organ." With the mental preparation to deal with the reporter, Liu Yufan thought about all the possible problems and compiled a complete set of speeches.

"Is that so? Then who is your first teacher?" Li Li asked with interest.

"Well, you probably don't know this very much after saying it. My home is from Fu'an, which is a small county town. My piano enlightenment teacher is Jiang Ya." Liu Yufan said simply.

When Li Li heard that Liu Yufan came from a rural family and his teacher was not a famous teacher, he became more energetic. These were all news points. Next, he asked more details.

Even though Liu Yufan had tried his best to make choices, Li Li was surprised when he heard the previous experience. A child from a rural area not only made a big industry with his own ability, but also showed his unique talent in the piano. He actually attracted the attention of Shi Shucheng, a famous domestic piano educator, just with an amateur piano competition, and recommended him to the Affiliated Middle School of the Central Conservatory of Music. Such an experience is not an exaggeration to describe as a legend. Listening to Liu Yufan's story, Li Li became more and more excited, and there were too many news points to write here.

Of course, when talking about Mo Yan, Liu Yufan deliberately concealed his identity. After all, Mo Yan is still unwilling to expose too much in front of others.

"It's incredible, Yufan, if your people were not standing in front of me, I would have doubted whether you were making up stories. You are still so young and still in school, you have already worked hard to achieve millions of industries. In just a few years, you can be called a super genius." After learning about Liu Yufan's experience in detail, Li Li couldn't help but exclaim.

"Haha, reporter Li, you are too polite. I'm just working harder and lucky more than others." Liu Yufan said modestly. At the same time, he felt a little overwhelmed when facing this reporter. This person is really too capable of asking questions, better than checking household registration. Fortunately, he is well prepared, otherwise he would have to ask questions to reveal his questions. Of course, what Liu Yufan refers to is just his rebirth experience. That is his huge secret, and I can't tell you even when the king comes, otherwise I have to be caught and studied by others.

However, even so, Li Li also took a lot of "scarce information" from him. Liu Yufan didn't want to show off his mind. In fact, these things are not secrets at all. If a person with a little intentional inquiry, he will understand it clearly, and it doesn't matter if he says it.

"Yufan, it's hard to imagine that you can consciously cultivate and train yourself in such a closed environment that lacks music. To be honest, although you are younger than me, I think your performance in some things is more mature than many adults. Haha, does it really fit the saying, "The children of poor people are already in their family"? No, you are not poor now, you are considered a little rich man." Li Li said humorously, which made Liu Yufan laugh.

"Haha, reporter Li, don't joke with me. I don't dare to be a wealthy man. The reason I'm trying so hard is to learn music. Without a certain material foundation, there is no way to learn music." Liu Yufan said honestly.

"Yes, music is aristocratic education, especially piano, and the investment is quite large. By the way, Yufan, can you talk about your views on current domestic piano education?" Li Li suddenly asked, and then realized that his problem might be a bit big. The other party is still a child, what do you think about this issue?

Unexpectedly, when Liu Yufan heard Li Li's words, he really thought about it seriously, and his answer to Li Li's words made Li Li look at him again with admiration.

"Reporter Li, your question is actually a bit big. I am just a student at the moment. It seems that I am not qualified to talk about piano education. However, when it comes to the current situation of piano education in my country, I really have some immature views." Liu Yufan said calmly.

"Yufan, you have to be polite. I am not a few years older than you. Just call me Brother Li. It doesn't matter. You can say wherever you think." Li Li immediately took him a little more attention to him as he heard this decent answer.

"The rise of piano education in our country is actually something that happened in the past few years. As you said, it is an aristocratic education, which requires a high cost of investment and a certain talent, which not everyone can learn. More than ten years ago, our country had just reformed and opened up, and everyone's lives were just out of food and clothing. It was not realistic to pursue these spiritual lives, which also led to piano education being destined to be unpopular. However, it has been different in recent years. People have money in their pockets, and have begun to pay attention to the education of their children. This is also the reason why piano education is becoming more and more popular and piano children are becoming more and more." Liu Yufan said, taking a sip of coffee, and pausing for a moment.

Listening to Liu Yufan's extremely organized words, Li Li nodded secretly. It was rare that he, a young man in his twenties, had such insights when talking about this issue. It can be seen that his music is really not just a hobby, and he has definitely studied it carefully.

"Now, there are 8 million piano children in China who study piano, and the actual number may be even more. This number is very exaggerated. Piano children in some developed countries cannot reach this number. Many Western countries exclaimed that the piano era of the next century belongs to China." Liu Yufan said this and laughed.

"Yes, Yufan, you are right. Now there are more and more children learning piano, which is a good phenomenon." Li Li also echoed. He had a deep understanding of this. Several of his colleagues' children were learning piano. Although the tuition was not cheap and cost dozens of dollars in half an hour, parents didn't care at all. The conditions were indeed good.

"But we cannot be blindly optimistic. As far as I can see, China's piano education is extremely unhealthy now." Liu Yufan changed his tone and said bluntly.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" After hearing Liu Yufan's words, Li immediately became energetic. This young man is really a news maker and can always say so many hot topics. "Genius pianist bombarded the Chinese piano education system", such an extremely impactful title immediately appeared in his mind.

In fact, when Liu Yufan talked about this topic, he also remembered the things that Li Yi reminded him before. He knew that if he threw out this point of view, the reporter would definitely focus on the close-ups of the capital, but that doesn't matter, what he wanted was this effect. After several years of learning experience, Liu Yufan learned not only piano technology, but also had too much dissatisfaction and understanding of the current situation of piano education. Taking advantage of today's opportunity, he was determined to have a good talk.

"I said he was unhealthy for a reason." Liu Yufan said, looking at Li Li who was concentrating on recording. After he finished recording, he continued: "The biggest drawback of piano education in China at present is the grading system!"

"Grading examination system?" After hearing Liu Yufan's words, Li Li couldn't help but sigh that this young man dared to say it. He pointed to the popular and sensitive word for grading. The grading examination system is a system that is being built across the country, and this guy has beaten many people in one fell swoop.

"That's right. There are too many grading exams nowadays, and many judges' teachers are not of high quality and cannot be fair and fair at all. Moreover, the grading system has also promoted the competition between parents and teachers. If your child passes Level 5, my child will pass Level 6, and if you have two consecutive jumps, I will jump triple. Everything is based on the grading exam. The grading exam has become the only yardstick for measuring the level of piano. When the piano boys meet, they don't ask, "What music have you practiced recently?", but ask, "How many levels have you passed". They are excited when they pass the exam, and they are frowning when they fail. Of course, grading exams are not impossible as a means of promotion. The problem is,

Nowadays, many grading exams have changed their taste, not based on the level of the piano boy, but on the relationship of the teacher. Some teachers directly joined forces with the judges. One party asked the students for passing the test rate and the other party asked for the benefits. In the end, everyone seemed to be happy, but the one who cheated was the piano boy. A certificate was issued and he thought he was so great. In fact, he didn't know that except for playing a few songs on the grading exam book, he was nothing at all. Some grading children have passed the ninth level of piano, but they can't even recognize the marks of the five-line score. Isn't it ridiculous?" Liu Yufan said a lot in one breath, and when he saw Li Li's stunned look, he couldn't help laughing.
