The public(公共的)pianos in Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei gave Yi Qunlin a fresh start. Yi Qunlin is worker at a building place. On a hot summer day, Laoyi and his son (pass)one of the pianos. His son knew Laoyi was interested it, so he encouraged his father to have a try. He felt a little nervous at (one), but as soon as his fingers touched the keys, confidence(自信)returned.
Yi Qunlin was born in a village of Hunan Province. At the age of 6, when most (performer)began studying the piano at music schools, Yi learned the erhu from a group of people. Later, he first saw a piano when he visited his cousin's house. Yi's family was too poor to buy a piano for him then, so he used to visit his cousin. It took him about an hour (get)there.
He worked in restaurants factories when he first arrived in Shenzhen 19 years ago. He taught to play many instruments(乐器)in his free time. He never thought that one day he would play the piano at a hall he helped build as a worker.
"It was like (talk)with an old friend. I was so excited my heart was still beating fast when I went back home," Yi said. "Playing the piano in public is my dream. The public pianos make it come true."
