Question

【題目】B

Ye Xiaogang is regarded as one of the most famous modern Chinese composers(作曲家). He learned to play the piano at the age of four. His father was a composer who wrote a lot of music for films. But when the ＂cultural revolution＂(文革) began, his father was sent to a farm to work. Ye was only 11 at that time. Ye had to work on another farm for a year before entering a factory. He worked in the factory for six years until he was 22.

The workers in the factory were friendly and helped him a lot, but he could not play the piano anymore. No matter how hard he worked on the farm or in the factory, he always believed that he did not belong there. He never left music. He just waited for opportunities. He dreamed of becoming a pianist. When the ＂cultural revolution＂ ended, Ye could play the piano again.

He practiced hard every day in order to go to the Central Conservatory of Music(中央音樂學(xué)院) in 1978, but the school would not recruit(招收) piano students that year. In the end, Ye chose composition as his major, although he was not familiar with it. Because of his hard work, Ye soon became one of the best students at the Central Conservatory of Music.

In 1980, he studied at Cambridge University. Then he went to a famous school of music in the US in 1987 to take more courses. As a famous composer in China, Ye worked for many organizations.
