Lang Lang is one of the world's greatest concert pianists. His first contact with Western music was when he was just two years old. He watched a cartoon in which a cat played a famous piece by Franz Liszt. From this experience, he decided he wanted to learn to play the piano. When he was three and half years old, he started piano lessons. Two years later he won first place in a piano competition. This early success gave his father high hopes that Lang Lang would become a great pianist.
郎朗是世界上最伟大的钢琴家之一。他第一次接触西方音乐是在两岁的时候，那时他看了一部动画片，里面有一只猫演奏了弗朗兹·李斯特的名曲。之后，他决定要学习弹钢琴，三岁半的时候，他开始学习钢琴。两年后，在一次钢琴比赛中获得第一名。这一早期的成功让他的父亲对郎朗成为一名伟大的钢琴家寄予厚望。
When Lang Lang was nine years old, his father quit his job and took him to Beijing. They left everything behind, including his mother who had to work. Lang Lang didn't want to leave her behind, but his father insisted. His father wanted him to study at the famous Central Conservatory of Music.

When they moved to Beijing, they rented a flat in a poor area of the city. During this time, Lang Lang practiced for several hours a day. He started practicing at 5 o'clock, which upset his neighbors. They would often pound on his door and ask him to stop practicing. They were so angry that he often feared that they would beat him up.
