LANG LANG was born in 1982 in Shenyang, China. He has played with the leading orchestras in all the major concert halls throughout the world. In this book you will learn about Lang Lang's heart-wrenching journey from his early childhood as a prodigy in an industrial city in northern China to his difficult years in Beijing to his success today.
Journey to a Thousand Miles documents the extraordinary, dramatic story of a family who sacrificed almost everything - his parents' marriage, financial security, Lang Lang's childhood, and even his reputation in China's insular classical music world - for the total belief in a young boy's talent.
I was highly moved when I read about the devastating and intense relationship between a boy and his father, who was willing to go to any lengths to make his son a star. It's difficult reading with 'tears in your eyes' - but honestly, I found this an extremely emotional book to read.
Journey of a Thousand Miles is a truly inspiring story, that will give you an appreciation for the sacrifice and courage it can take to achieve greatness.
I highly recommend this book.

I believe this is a youth abridgment of his "Journey of a Thousand Miles." American readers may be disturbed by Lang Lang's father's singlemindedness in making his son the #1 pianist in the world. But it is also a viewpoint on cultural differences regarding success. Fortunately, Lang Lang also has had mentors, role models and experiences that taught him the importance of balance in life. A provocative biography about a child prodigy.

Interesting story of classical pianist Lang Lang from childhood to young adult years. The amount of practicing he did was amazing in addition to the drive and ambition of both himself and his extremely demanding father. The insights on life in China also added to the interest.

Read this book, then you'll know what made Lang Lang the way he is today. The way his father raised him proved exactly what Malcolm Gladwell pointed out in his book, The Outliers...There's no such thing as a prodigy, but a hardworking person who happens to be at the right place at the right time, and works on whatever he's good at much more frequently than all the other people.
