The fire is very simple and natural.
When the melon is ripe, the stem will fall off.

Not only domestically, Japanese and Korean media also immediately issued a long article to congratulate Qin Jian for winning the championship.

Qin Jian's victory this time also made him truly one of the first-tier international pianists in Europe.
At the same time, accompanying doubts also emerged as the incident spread.
The first person to jump out this time was Philippe, the music critic of the German newspaper Der Spiegel. This is not the first time that Adams’ number one fan has published an article against Qin Jian.
His shadow was present in the last Bergen incident.
He posted a long article early in the morning on the topic of "whether the credibility of the Chopin Competition jury still exists" and made crazy complaints.
At the beginning of the article, he first defended his idol ‘Adams’, and then he clearly pointed out, “Why did the two winners of the Concerto Prize miss the top two?”
Then he avoided Edmundo and focused all his artillery fire on Qin Jian.
“How convincing is his Piano Concerto No. 1?”
"Nothing."
"He is just using his strong desire to control music to direct a one-man show that has nothing to do with music."
"Unfortunately, our jury is already sick."
Finally, he sent a message to the judges: "I hope your ears will recover soon."
Articles like this are being published in various places over time, but more people or organizations are questioning the jury.
After all, in the real circle, the double concerto award is shocking enough, and the final gold medal is not even one of them.
...
But no matter what, the final result of the Chopin Competition has come out.
This is an indisputable fact, whether in China, Asia or the world.
