    I would like to thank all my friends and all the staff at the NEC who helped me make this recital a success.

    I would also like to thank my parents for their support from far away in China.

    I sincerely thank my mentors:
       Tae, incredible pianist and collaborator who helped me from my NEC audition all the way to this graduate recital.

       Daniel, who gave me important guidance and help during the critical period of last year‘s admission.

    And Mai, it was an honor to be her student. I will never forget the first time I met her.
    Wishing you health and happiness forever!
