A six-year-old Chinese-American boy is being called a piano prodigy, after beating out thousands of applicants from around the world in a prestigious musical competition this year. Winning the prize got him to New York's famed Carnegie Hall where he was among the youngest to perform. CGTN's Karina Huber reports.

    He must've used simply piano for at least over 5 minutes to be this good

    "....And I want to bring the audience happiness." He understands true artistry right there at that age.
  • I'm not just astounded by his talent but rather the joy and happiness i finds when playing it. It's not like he's being forced to do something he doesnt like at all, just amazing
  • I like the fact that he does not look miserable, and that the parents seem to enjoy helping him strive and not push him to play piano. Well done.

    The thumbnail made me think the baby was playing at Carnegie Hall

    3 hours of practice a day, and a prodigy? Wow. What if he practiced 40 hours a day? He'll be invincible for sure.

    Holy crap!! I remember going to band camp with this kid. I was 12, he was about 5. Every camper is wearing t shirts, shorts, sandals, etc. This kid came in a suit and tie, EVERY DAY. At a sleep away camp. And proceeded to blow us all away with his piano chops. Crowds formed around him every time he played. So happy to see him earn success and play at such a high level, at such a young age.

    I love this boy calmness and humbleness when he appeared in public. He kept his smile on most of the time. He is a good example of young kids' success.
