三. 日記

Recently, I have a lot of recording. The day before yesterday, I went to a concert hall to record the "Mahler Symphony No. 1 in D major 'Titan'". China Junior Symphony Orchestra consists of children from the Middle School affiliated to the Central Conservatory. During rehearsal, I had a big surprise. I believe, they'll be the best musicians in China, when they grow up.
