The question I asked at the beginning of this article is: Yin Chengzong is in **? In search of answers, I conducted a detailed investigation. I read a lot of reports about him in newspapers in RTHK and the United States, and listened to his recorded conversations, which was like an in-depth interview with him.
I also got the latest news from a ** family who came back from the United States. Therefore, I am happy to be able to update you all on the latest news from this ** star. "
In July 1980, after nine years of silence, Yin Chengzong held a piano recital in China again. Since then, he has traveled all over the world, once again proving that he is a skilled pianist with the sound of the piano, and his love for ** has not diminished by half a point.
As the years passed, time did not erase his light, but made him more dazzling. On February 10, 1983, Yin Chengzong took his 5-year-old daughter Yin Yue to Hong Kong to reunite with his sister.
After the news spread, Hong Kong and Taiwan ** were very concerned about this matter. However, Yin Chengzong's trip was not mysterious, but to visit relatives in the United States. His father has a 78-year-old half-brother in New York, and his wife, Tao Zongshun, was also allowed to study piano at Mannes College in New York in 1980.
In addition to visiting relatives, he was also invited to perform at the invitation of the famous American ** agent Herold Shaw. As soon as Yin Chengzong arrived in Hong Kong, he received an invitation telegram from the other party.
Yin Chengzong is a pianist from the People's Republic of China. He had stayed in Hong Kong for more than a month, but since he was only "transiting", he could not hold a public performance.
Nevertheless, at the request of a friend, he held a "non-commercial" and "non-public" performance. He then flew to the United States, where he held a five-year passport and signed a three-year contract with Herud Shaw.
September 28, 1983 was an unusual day for Yin Chengzong. That evening, he walked into the prestigious Carnigie Hall in New York for his piano recital.
It was his first public appearance since coming to the United States. The poster reads: "--- pianist from the People's Republic of China. "New York is a place where the best families gather, and it is also a place where the best players from all over the world often come to show off their skills.

Now he has become more mature and more persuasive. The deepest impression is that he is often invested in the ** and tugs at my heartstrings. Despite this, Yin Chengzong has just entered the American music scene after all.
People are worried that he will be able to succeed in this place where there are many strong players and the audience's vision is quite high. However, Yin Chengzong "felt good about himself" and gave full play to his piano skills, and there was warm applause in the Carnegie ** hall.
People are shocked that the Eastern artist is so well versed in Western ** works.
The stage lights fade away, which doesn't mean the end of the show. In the ** world, there is such a saying: "A performance, if it is not commented on, it means that it has not happened!" ”
Critics in the United States have given high praise to the performance of the new Chinese pianists. The New York Times' Bella Holren commented: "Yin Chengzong was able to deeply understand the rhythm and dynamics of Mozart**, and was not only able to accurately grasp the timing of the performance, but also to emphasize the beauty of ** in just the right way."
In the works of Beethoven and Liszt, he showed a talent on a par with the top pianists. He praised Yin Chengzong as "the best pianist in China".
