Liu Fang (Chinese: t 劉芳, s 刘芳, p Liú Fāng; b. 1974) is one of the most prominent pipa players in the world. Described in the media as the "empress of pipa" (L'actualité), "divine mediator" (World), "the greatest ambassadress of the art of the pipa", Liu Fang is known as “possessing virtuoso technique, grace and a unique empathy toward the music she plays – whether it is a traditional and folk tune or a modern Western composition” (All Music Guide). "She has an extraordinary focused, poised presence in her manner and her playing. In a lesser player this is just a trained formality; the body of material and techniques for her instruments is extremely highly developed, passed down through centuries. But Liu Fang’s total devotion to her playing has moved her beyond perfect execution to the creativity and flexibility that marks a true musician."(in the fRoots Magazine, 06.2006).
Born in Kunming in the Chinese province of Yunnan, she began playing the pipa at the age of 6. Her first solo public performance was at the age of 9. In 1986, at age 11, she played for Queen Elizabeth II. Her studies at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music broadened her musical range and allowed her to study the guzheng. At the age of 22, Liu Fang immigrated to Canada and is now a Canadian citizen, currently residing in Montreal. The decision to move to Quebec allowed her virtuosic playing to reach a wider international audience. Since 1999, she has performed hundreds of solo concerts featuring Chinese traditional and classical music on her two solo instruments - pipa and guzheng. Her profile has risen due to her rich and deeply spiritual performances as well as a wide ranging repertoire that features music from Chinese classical and folk traditions (including pieces rarely heard) as well as contemporary works from both east and west.

Violin concerto "Liang Shan Bo and Zhu Ying Tai" (or The Butterfly Lovers in short) is composed by famous Chinese composer He Zhan Hao. Its origin is from a classical, Chinese legend about the lyric tragedy of eternal love between Liang Shan Bo and Zhu Ying Tai. Both transformed to butterflies after their death, flying with one another, forever. This piece has been a symbol of Chinese music in the international scene for fifty years and has been rearranged by composer He to an Gaohu Concerto. The romantic theme is filled with Jiangnan Cultural influences, because the theme came from the Chinese Yue opera. There are three movements in total, and the piece returns to the main melody " Transformation to butterflies" in the coda, pushing the piece to its climax once again.

Very beautiful and elegant interpretation of the romantic "Dance of Yi People" -with the purest sound and emotion from Liu Fang's pipa playing. (Pipa is a traditional string instrument from China, in the same family as lute or guitar. ) It is upon listening to this piece (彝族舞曲) that I have become big fan of Liu Fang's. The original music was composed by Wang Huiran (王惠然)in the early 60s based on some folk dance music of the Yi, one of the 26 minorities in the Province of Yunnan. The melody was used by an Chinese pop group so that it became known to many people (including myself) as a pop song called "Nine hundred ninty nine roses". Later on I discovered that it is a pipa solo music. This piece is one of the most celebrated examples for compositions based on folk melodies, and indeed has b...

China's No. 1 billionaire philanthropist Chen Guangbiao tells SwitchUp.tv why he plans to donate all of his fortune to charity after he dies.
This press conference held by eccentric Chinese billionaire Chen Guangbiao in Manhattan on Tuesday (Jan 7, 2014) was unusual, to say the least. And not just because he started out by singing karaoke. Or would refer to himself in the third person. [Chen Guangbiao, Chinese Billionaire]: "Chen Guangbiao's flashy philanthropy will not be discouraged by any storm or rain." Chen Guangbiao rose to greater international prominence recently when he announced he wanted to buy the New York Times—because, as he wrote here, the New York Times does not have objective coverage of China, and if he could buy it, quote, "its tone might turn around." The New York Times said the business is not for sale. Part showman, part philanthropist, the billionaire's nominal reason for holding the press conference, ...

Eccentric millionaire Chen Guangbiao, a Chinese recycling tycoon, buys lunch for 250 homeless New Yorkers at a restaurant in Central Park. But his charity quickly turns controversial among the crowd after promising $300 to each guest.
Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News When Chinese multimillionaire Chen Guangbiao placed ads in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal announcing he would buy lunch for 1,000 disadvantaged New Yorkers before handing them each $300, the city's poor were understandably excited. That excitement would soon turn to anger. This past Wednesday, VICE News attended the circus-like event. Two hundred and fifty disadvantaged people — not the 1,000 advertised — were treated to lunch at the swanky Central Park Boathouse. And none of them were told that there would be no cash handout.

Host Paul Stein welcomes Falun Dafa practitioner Brett Price as this week's special guest. In this episode, Brett talks about the origins, the core tenets and the spiritual, emotional and physical benefits derived from the cultivation practice of Falun Gong. There are over a hundred million Falun Gong practitioners worldwide. Sadly, there is a dark side to this interview. As of 1999, hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have been incarcerated in labour camps. There, they face long, brutal hours of coerced labour -- manufacturing "stuff" for the West's consumer addictions -- as well as torture and murder. The healthy ones, who have been deemed to possess the right blood type, are put on a 'donor list' whereby their organs are forcibly harvested -- many while they are st...

A Chinese tycoon treated hundreds of homeless New Yorkers to a fancy lunch at the Boathouse restaurant in Central Park on Wednesday, but the event apparently didn't go as smoothly as planned. About 250 residents of the New York City Rescue Mission were served sesame-seed-encrusted tuna, beef filet and berries with crème fraiche, thanks to recycling magnate Chen Guangbiao, who serenaded the crowd with a karaoke rendition of "We Are The World" and performed magic tricks. During the luncheon, Chen promised to give each guest $300 in cash, but Mission director Craig Mayes said that was never the arrangement and those attending were told, 1010 WINS' Juliet Papa reported. "No cash, everybody understand? No cash. Everybody understood?" Mayes told guests. The agreement apparently involved a do...
Two surviving Falun Gong self-immolators from the self-immolation incident that took place in Tiananmen, China, 2001, appeared with Chinese tycoon Chen Guangbiao in a press conference in New York, US, on January 7. Chen, who hosted the event, said he will spend over a million US dollar to help the two seriously disfigured survivors undergo a series of life-altering surgical treatments. Seven Falun Gong members set themselves on fire in Tiananmen, Beijing, on January 23, 2001. Two of them died and three people were critically burnt. Among them, Hao Huijin and her daughter Chen Guo suffered severe burns and were completely deformed.
