Hi everyone,This is the 20th episode of Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Green plums and a bamboo horse 青梅竹马. I composed this piece in 1997 when I was a freshman student at the China Conservatory of Music.

Flautist Zhang Weiliang 张维良 (artistic director of the ensemble, soloist for the sound track of the film Farewell My Concubine) and pipa player Chen Yihan 陈一涵 performed the work.

Mount Celestial 九仙山

2020/05/14

Hi everyone,This is the 12th episode of Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Mount Celestial. Ancient Chinese poems were all sung out loud by the poets. Writing and singing poetry, along with music, painting, calligraphy, and playing Go, were the pursuits of Chinese scholars and intellectuals for more than a thousand years. I hope to echo and continue this lost ancient tradition. The poem I sing is about nostalgia for a former life but feeling hopeful and connected to a beautiful new home. Hope you enjoy this

2020/05/13

Hi everyone, This is the 11th episode of Wu Fei’s Music Daily - Wind, birds, waves. I recorded it outdoors. The wind was blowing. The whistling in the beginning is from wind sweeping through the 21 strings of my guzheng, without me touching it. All the harmonics of the strings were ringing and projected by the guzheng’s enormous hollowed wooden body. The birds were as happy as always. It was a magical experience for me.Hope you enjoy this moment,Wu Fei 吴非This photo was taken a week ago from near

Happy Friday friends,I’d like to share this old Chinese saying with you all: 笑一笑，十年少。Laugh one laugh, (you become) ten years younger. Isn’t that the best! This episode is the 6th recording since I started this new project. The Chinese tongue twisters in the recording are fun games for me to do with my family. After this recording, I realized that I know quite a few tongue twisters. Some are really challenging >_< I’d love to continue to share them with you all in the future episodes. * The first

2020/05/07

Hi everyone,Here is a piece I recorded last week. About two minutes into the piece, there’s a childhood melody that somehow kicked in my brain while I was playing. It’s a tune about young children selling newspaper during war time on the streets of Shanghai or Beijing to help their family to earn money. I’ve known the song since I was 4 or 5 years old. I only knew it as a happy and silly song back then. Now I am a grown up with two small children of my own, playing this “happy upbeat” song again
