the cello with his father when he was four. While
a student at the Shanghai Conservatoire, he was
featured in the celebrated documentary film From
Mao to Mozart: Isaac Stern in China. Mr Stern's
encouragement and support paved the way for him
to go to the United States and in 1985 he entered
the Yale School of Music under a special programme
