\"I'm all for the popularization of classical music. Since they need it, I'll do it,\" says Zheng Xiaoying with a sparkle in her eye.
Breaking barriers as China's first-ever female symphony conductor and the first Chinese musician to lead at an opera house overseas, Zheng Xiaoying is nothing short of a legend. At 93 years young, she's still hitting all the right notes, dedicating her life to sharing the beauty of music with the world. 🎼
At the end of 2022, Zheng teamed up with her student Wu Lingfen to stage the classic opera \"La Traviata.\" Together, their combined age was an impressive 170 years, but age is just a number when passion leads the way! 🌟
Despite the passing years, Zheng's enthusiasm hasn't dimmed one bit. She's as committed as ever to performing and teaching, spreading the joy of classical music to new generations. Her story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to follow your dreams and inspire others along the way. 💖
So next time you think about picking up a new hobby or reigniting an old passion, remember Zheng Xiaoying. After all, music has no age limit, and neither does making a difference! 🎵
