I read her autobiography. Touching and realistic. If one has been brought up and educated under a certain regime it is quite difficult to metamorphoses. How many of us will have this courage? Now she's bringing joy through her music. ❤

Ms. Zhu, her life, her story, and her music are truly one and the same. I get great inspiration and hope from listening to her story and most of all her music. Thank you

朱老师说话好温柔啊～～

Extraordinary reflections of Zhu Xiao Mei. Her Golbderg variations are just fantastic! She is a little bit like Bach and Laozi: modest and profund, with beautiful sense of humour. She is fantastic. Bach, universal? Why then another great Chinese pianist (of another generation), Wang Yuja has never played a single piece of Bach in concert?

读她的传记，哭着，笑着读完。是法语翻译成英语的，不得不说这个英语翻译水平很高，非常值得一读。可惜不懂法语，不能读原著。

真要当老子 就别出来 这个结局俗套

[@mingxu0301]

That’s a tall requirement. No one can escape reality. Afterall, she is human not saint.

对朱女士的印象不佳。1）她在出国之前，完全不知道「老子」，未免太无知了吧。2）现在她断言，老子是世界上最伟大的哲学家，这同样是无知妄说（不少西方大哲学家认为，中国历史上根本没有哲学，没有哲学家）。3）她说“国外生活就是很吵闹呀，赚钱呀，要争权夺利”，这是对西方民主社会和诚实、质朴的西方人的汚蔑；话说得可耻！

人家是世界级钢琴家

1. 她敢承认自己在出国前完全不知道“老子”， 佩服她的坦诚。我读了她的传记，她十来岁开始，中国进入文化大革命，根本没有书可读，音乐学院没有乐谱，老师都去扫厕所。然后上山下乡。哪里有书本？ 2. 她认为老子是世界时最伟大的哲学家，在她的世界里她完全可以这么认为。 我觉得你非常无知！更别提老子的思想境界是你能懂的。对人生理解高度提升后，你会明白，上帝，释迦摩尼，老子，.....各大宗教所指的那个神都是同一个神，同一个源头。

​​​@@xiaoqingweng2918感觉她在夸张说自己不知道老子是谁。就算不上学，老子也会在日常生活中被提到，更何况在十年动乱期间批孔孟之道，老子肯定会被提到。道教毕竟是中国第二大教义，儒家排第一位。他们那一代人对中国持绝对否定的态度，所以认为他们会主观的去忘记中国的一切，他们会认为自己的人生从出国开始。她三十年不回国就很能说明问题。

To admit your faults and errors is something good and humble. Can you say the same?
