When I was in Primary 1, the school encouraged us to learn musical instruments. While most of my peers applied for popular instrumental classes, I chose pipa, a Chinese plucked-string instrument, based on my own preference. Since then, I have often been challenged as pipa was an unpopular instrument, especially among boys. Worse still, the school cancelled the Chinese Orchestra and the pipa class when I needed trainings. For the years onwards have I been alone striving to achieve goals which were doomed to fail. All I had were my musical passion and support from my family.
My perseverance has resulted in opportunities of overseas performances and exchanges. While being satisfied with my performance, I was amused by the impressive skills and artistic attainments of the musicians from all over the world. This was when I realized the importance of modesty and learning from others. Moreover, I understood that music is about sharing with others instead of simply performing.
Sharing music and influencing the thoughts of others are so meaningful that beyond compliments and achievements. I have always been clear that my goals are promoting Chinese culture and proving to others that boys can also be a good pipa player.
My passion is not only limited to music, but also helping and serving others, thanks to the experiences of volunteered music performances and my observation on the beneficial deeds of my parents. Residing and studying in Sham Shui Po District, I bear the responsibility of serving the needy in this district compiling of poverty, aging population and poor livelihood. Through organizing community service, I hope to gather more students from different schools in the district to raise their awareness of helping those in need. We can definitely make changes with love and care.
I aspire to apply my musical knowledge on voluntary tuition for teenagers from low-income families. May my blessing help them become outstanding individuals and inherit our Chinese culture.[/vc_column_text][tek_button button_text=”Back” button_style=”tt_primary_button” button_color_scheme=”btn_primary_color” button_hover_state=”” button_icon_bool=”no” button_action=”button-action-link” button_link=”url:http%3A%2F%2F159.89.198.89%2Fyoutharch-web%2Fpast-awardees%2F|||” button_position=”button-center”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

小一那年，學校鼓勵學生學習樂器。當同學一窩蜂去參加熱門、易上手的樂器班，我憑興趣選擇了琵琶。自此，身邊一直有人挑戰、質疑我，畢竟琵琶較為冷門，而且演奏者以女性居多。更可惜的是，學校後來取消中樂團及此興趣班。十多年來，我大部分時間孤軍作戰，缺乏同行者。有賴對音樂的熱誠及父母的支持，推動我繼續走此看似註定失敗的路。
多年的堅持為我帶來不少海外演出和交流的機會。當我自以為演奏已略有小成，卻在云云高手身上屢次擴闊眼界，發現自己的技術、造詣、修養等尚有進步空間，令我學習謙虛，追求至善。一方面向他人學習，彌補不足之處，另一方面將演奏心態由表演、展示，轉化為分享音樂。
音樂路上最豐盛的成果並非獲得的掌聲或贏得的獎項，而是分享音樂的樂趣，以音樂感染他人的生命，傳揚中國文化，並證明：男孩子也能彈得一手好琵琶。
藉著義務演出的經驗，加上父母耳濡目染，讓我建立服務他人的心，在最熟悉的深水埗區內籌辦社區服務。深水埗區的貧窮人口、長者及劏房數字均為全港之冠，民生問題最為嚴重。而身為區內學生的我，關心身邊弱勢社群固然義不容辭，我更希望以自己的熱誠，感染更多同區學生投身社區服務，培養關愛互助精神。
我希望將來能運用音樂的知識，為區內低收入家庭的青少年提供義教，以生命影響生命，傳承中國文化，令他們更傑出。[/vc_column_text][tek_button button_text=”返回” button_style=”tt_primary_button” button_color_scheme=”btn_primary_color” button_hover_state=”” button_icon_bool=”no” button_action=”button-action-link” button_link=”url:http%3A%2F%2F159.89.198.89%2Fyoutharch-web%2Fzh-hant%2Fpast-awardees%2F|||” button_position=”button-center”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
