Born in 1936 in Gulangyu, an island at a stone’s throw from the downtown Xiamen, Fujian Province, Hu Youyi has an unusual passion for piano. However, it is not unusual for residents of the island to have a passion for piano. Foreign missionaries, who first brought pianos to the island, sowed this passion on the small island. Probably the island was born for piano. The grand and graceful musical instrument became so popular that they were a common sight and sound in churches, hospitals and schools on the island. Even back in the 1950s, the small island with a population less than 10,000 boasted more than 500 pianos. There are more pianos now. Today, the island is synonymous with piano music.
