It's true. The person who plays the piano better than Lang Lang on China Dream Show is called Shen Wenyu. Compared to Lang Lang and Yundi Li, not many people know the name Shen Wenyu, and even fewer know the following facts. Shen Wenyu was once called one of China's Three Musketeers of the Piano by the European classical music world, alongside Lang Lang and Yundi Li.
In April 2014, Shen Wenyu was featured in the third installment of the seventh season of Zhejiang Satellite TV's "China Dream Show," where he played a song called "The Dance of the Wild Bees," which left many netizens impressed by his skills, but at the same time, they also sighed with regret over his experience so far. Shen Wenyu has a pair of perfect hands, and the European music world has named him one of China's Three Musketeers of the Piano, along with Lang Lang and Li Yundi. But in China, Shen Wenyu is not as well known as Lang Lang and Li Yundi.
Shen Wenyu's talent and skills are no match for the latter two, and he became famous as a teenager, giving a solo concert at the age of 9, being invited to tour abroad at the age of 10, and winning awards at major international piano competitions before the age of 20, and showing his skills at occasional TV gala events, including CCTV, in recent years, but despite this, not many people know about him.
Guo Degang, a successful comedian, once said: "Success is a combination of three parts ability, six parts luck and one part support. Although I don't agree with the proportion of luck, I can't deny it: if you have the ability, you don't necessarily succeed. In this world, some people rely on speculation, with five points of ability to get ten points of success, while others have extraordinary ability, but living an ordinary life.
And Shen Wenyu belongs to the latter; Shen Wenyu is very strong, but the reason for not being famous is very complicated, for example, family of origin, personal character, life situation, hobby pursuits and so on.
