Zhu Xiao-Mei was born to middle-class parents in post-war China, and her musical proficiency became clear at an early age. Taught to play the piano by her mother, she developed quickly into a prodigy, immersing herself in the work of classical masters like Bach and Brahms. She was just ten years old when she began a rigorous course of study at the Beijing Conservatory, laying the groundwork for what was sure to be an extraordinary career. But in 1966, when Xiao-Mei was seventeen, the Cultural Revolution began, and life as she knew it changed forever. One by one, her family members were scattered, sentenced to prison or labor camps. By 1969, the art schools had closed, and Xiao-Mei was on her way to a work camp in Mongolia, where she would spend the next five years. Life in the camp was nearly unbearable, thanks to horrific living conditions and intensive brainwashing campaigns. Yet through it all Xiao-Mei clung to her passion for music and her sense of humor. And when the Revolution ended, it was the piano that helped her to heal. Heartbreaking and heartwarming, The Secret Piano is the incredible true story of one woman’s survival in the face of unbelievable odds—and in pursuit of a powerful dream.
##英文翻譯很好,不難讀又好看。但一開始就覺得這是寫給外國人看的書,感覺有點刻意強調她的文革經曆,但作者在前言提過她寫書的原因之一是西方人很少知道文革。後半部分精彩些,特彆是第二十章。即使作者去國多年,滋養她的還是中國文化。她很推崇老子。我也要開始看《道德經》瞭。我覺得她還是幸運的。
評分##4.25初翻,然後就一直拖延著……直到10.12正式開始看,不能罷手,16號火車上看完……下班並補完覺後寫書評……

評分##我心中的鋼琴巨人 不尊重她的均為狗B
評分##作為一個破落貴族傢庭的傲嬌小公主,硃刻意的強調瞭文革的苦難,其實她傢也沒有什麼特彆的苦難,按書開頭寫得,硃傢的確是有對待親戚的間諜行為的曖昧,政治立場不鮮明的問題,也就造成瞭後麵的那種“苦難”,但覺得這種刻意多少有些傲嬌。
評分##實在是好看,個人命運和時代變遷緊密聯係,這比《芳華》《地久天長》之類的電影來得更為真實和濃厚。硃曉玫的敘述伴隨著聲音,尤其是潘老師這段話:“Try to draw energy from the keyboard, not just transmit energy to it. Imagine you are kneading dough. You’ll see, this will entirely change your relationship to the instrument.” 在經曆過那段日子後,輾轉美國和法國,在老子道傢思想中叩問音樂與人生的真諦。在近乎苦行僧的自律練習,把握住音樂,把握住自己。我特彆喜歡那一句“Humanity is the truth of music.”
評分##為瞭音樂會讀完瞭。她堅持不懈的精神真的非常讓人敬佩。目標一直很清晰,並且堅決的行動派。
評分##彈琴時力量來自呼吸(生命與精神的源頭);要從鍵盤吸取力量,而不是一味輸齣力量;靈巧的手法實際卻讓人更有力。跟江青是中央音樂學院的同學,後者是給毛寫信反映學校情況而認識毛的;學校創建人鄭huabin跟印尼總統和蔣介石的一個部長是親戚,捨棄舒適生活來中國辦學,很照顧學生,文革中自縊;黃河頌是抄肖邦的段子。1980年還有很多人遊泳跨海峽逃至香港。人性是音樂的真諦。我一直比較費解的一點:父親是深諳文言文的醫學生,母親來自西式傢庭很懂西方藝術,她三十歲還沒聽說過老子。
評分##順著音樂找到的自傳,聽著硃奶奶的彈奏的Goldberg Variations讀完最後一部分,很奇妙的經曆。雖然是苦難居多的故事,但硃奶奶要比大多數人都幸運,幸運得多。
