    I appreciate all of the friends and teachers coming tonight to my graduation recital.

    I would like to express my special thanks and gratitude to my teachers:
    Mr. Paul Biss, Ms. Miriam Fried, and Mr. Donald Weilerstein.
    Words alone cannot express how much your teachings have influenced me these years.
    I am truly honored to study with you.
    Thank you so much for your continuous encouragement, patience, support, and guidance from the very first moment I stepped on this campus six years ago.
    Thank you so much for inspiring me not only to be a more professional musician,
    but also a better human being.

    Also, I am deeply grateful to all of my three fantastic colleagues,
    Yandi Chen, Jingsi Lu, Kyunga Lee,
    and their teacher Ms. Vivian Hornik Weilerstein, who made this recital possible.
    Thank you so much for your understanding and inspiration.
    It is my pleasure to work with all of you.

    Lastly but most importantly, I would send love to my parents.
    Thank you so much for your unconditional love and support.
    Without your dedication, I would not have the most joyful life with my goals and ambitions in the music world.

    As time flew by, I couldn’t imagine this is my sixth year at NEC.
    What I learned and experienced here is truly priceless and unforgettable.
    I dedicate this challenging program with one of my favorite composers to my beloved school.
