Ever since she (Ellen Lee) was born until she turned five years old
There was always music in my car
Everyday I brought a few CD from home to my car
And she grew up with music
She started learning to play the piano when she was five years old
What’s special about classical music
Is that you can’t start later
How many books I have published
About 100 volumes
The most popular ones are “Story-Enlightened Future”
"Chinese History For Everyone"
"How to Read Shiji"
My favorite is novel
I really put my heart into writing novels
But among all my works
Novels receive the smallest number of readers
I started musical instrument lessons accidentally
I used to go to my teachers house on Tuesdays for violin classes
And all I remember about that is being beaten up
I hated my teacher when I was learning to play the violin
For a very long time
I didn’t listen to any music that involves violin
Instead I listened to piano a lot
I touched a piano for the first time when I was turning five years old
The first show was when I was 6 years old
When I stepped onto the stage
I felt more at ease than when I was practicing behind the stage
My piano teacher at the time was German
I went to Hanover when I was 14
Until now I am 22
Studying for my master degree in piano playing at Hanover University of music, Drama and Media
My parents often took me travel abroad
I never felt that fear of the outside world
"Actually, musical talent is not any single kind of talent"
"Music talent is a very complex variety of talents"
In "Breath", father and daughter talked about music
“Vistopia” was making a program about classical music
They came to Hanover, the city I lived, to shoot
Around castles
The city hall and lakeside woods
We wandered as we talked about classical music
I was born in 1963
After graduating from Department of History in NTU
I studied at Harvard when I was 24
In 1993 I came back to Taiwan
I did a lot of different work
But most of them are related to reading
I didn't enjoy reading vert much when I was little
When I was about eleven or twelve years old
He published a book "May I Meet Your Life"
About my childhood anecdotes
He assigned me the work of proofreading the book
When I read the book
I found it quite funny
Because he read a lot of books
So now when I read something
I'd ask him, do you know about it
"A Different Chinese History"
It reads very familiar
He thinks that it's important that people have fun in reading
He doesn't like very rigid academic stuff 61 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,520 I don't prepare for school in the accepted way
A lot of music scores in our house
Are not for her to play
I have a habit of reading music
He used to take me to buy music scores
And he'd let me choose
He'd never be like you play this one (or that one)
I have always had a preference for scores
That have significant influence on me
I never assumed that my child should like studying
Just because I did
To respect your child is a torturing experience
When you don't respect them
The society is behind you
But when you decide to respect them
The society turn against you instead
Are you serious
You are just pretending to respect them
How can you be serious
Let children make their own decisions
And you just let them
I'm really grateful to Ellen
She lived away from us for so many years
And after all that she has always kept herself from vice
At least it proves
That me holding such a principle to my daughter
Doesn't do her any harm
I'm not afraid of getting old
55-year-old me has a curiosity
What you will be like when you turn 20
When I am 65
I can see how this girl is like
In her 30s
I look forward to that day
