“Number One” was a phrase my father—and, for that matter, my mother—repeated time and time again. It was a phrase spoken by my parents’ friends and by their friends’ children. Whenever adults discussed the great Chinese painters and sculptors from the ancient dynasties, there was always a single artist named as Number One. There was the Number One leader of a manufacturing plant, the Number One worker, the Number One scientist, the Number One car mechanic. In the culture of my childhood, being best was everything. It was the goal that drove us, the motivation that gave life meaning. And if, by chance or fate or the blessings of the generous universe, you were a child in whom talent was evident, Number One became your mantra. It became mine. I never begged my parents to take off the pressure. I accepted it; I even enjoyed it. It was a game, this contest among aspiring pianists, and although I may have been shy, I was bold, even at age five, when faced with a field of rivals.

Born in China to parents whose musical careers were interrupted by the Cultural Revolution, Lang Lang has emerged as one of the greatest pianists of our time. Yet despite his fame, few in the West know of the heart-wrenching journey from his early childhood as a prodigy in an industrial city in northern China to his difficult years in Beijing to his success today.

Journey of a Thousand Miles documents the remarkable, dramatic story of a family who sacrificed almost everything—his parents’ marriage, financial security, Lang Lang’s childhood, and their reputation in China’s insular classical music world—for the belief in a young boy’s talent. And it reveals the devastating and intense relationship between a boy and his father, who was willing to go to any length to make his son a star.

An engaging, informative cultural commentator who bridges East and West, Lang Lang has written more than an autobiography: his book opens a door to China, where Lang Lang is a cultural icon, at a time when the world’s attention will be on Beijing. Written with David Ritz, the coauthor of many bestselling autobiographies, Journey of a Thousand Miles is an inspiring story that will give readers an appreciation for the courage and sacrifice it takes to achieve greatness.

33）尽管如此，有些小孩还是说悄悄话："郎朗就是爱显摆。"我总是迫不及待地想要弹一首曲子，然后再弹一首，然后再接着来一首。从巴赫的赋格到李斯特的一首叫作"小匈牙利"的曲子，我所知道的每一首曲子我都要弹过。当然每个小孩都想要证明他能跑得多快，游得多远，钢琴弹得多好，但我想要弹琴的欲望超越了简单的炫耀：我想通过音乐表达自我。

65）朱教授知道我比赛输了有多难过。她试图劝说我，让我从大局看："你心中有想赢的欲望，这很好，因为它给你动力，让你在冷飕飕的夜晚，还有大热天里都能坚持练琴。但你不会一直赢。没人能那样。你会经常获胜，感受到胜利的甜蜜，你会很享受。但你一定得知道，一个艺术家的生命会充满了失望。失望是无法避免的。不管你喜不喜欢，我们一定要学会走过失望，继续生活。"

　　我抗议说："但那是评委不公平。"

"我们无法控制评委如何做决定。不错，有的评委是不公平，有的有偏见，有的甚至听不出好坏，品位低劣。但你会发现，绝大多数的评委都是公平的。大多数评委都会奖励有才能的人。但是评委和老师一样不是完美的。我们都会出错。我们都会遇到其他艺术家比我们要弹得好，不管是因为他们经验更丰富，还是他们准备得更充分。这是我们必须面对的一个事实。如果每次竞赛失利，你都像天要塌下来一样，准备下一次的竞赛就会难上加难。你还是个小男孩。我理解，对男孩子来说，失望的感觉不容易对付。但作为一个艺术家，你已经是个小大人了。既然如此，你必须学会直面现实。这次打击虽然惨痛，但你一定要克服失望的情绪，然后重整旗鼓，再奋力出击。"朱教授擦干我的眼泪，亲了亲我的两颊。在那一刻，我是全心全意地爱戴她的。

77）我弹音阶，又弹了几首李斯特的练习曲。朱教授把我推荐给在北京的老师，为了准备和老师的初次见面，朱教授给我布置了几首练习曲。我练琴时眼里饱含着泪水。我练琴，因为弹比不弹更容易；与其和父亲争辩，不如去弹琴；与其听父...

“我问父亲的第一个问题是：“所有的作曲家中，谁是第一名?”

很显然，我的父亲很认同莫扎特的父亲。

父亲和贝多芬都从来不笑，他们没时间，也没耐性去聚会、开玩笑、看动画片。有那么多的音乐要去写，有那么多的音乐要去听，音乐是性命攸关的事。

在我的想象中，李斯特参加摩托车比赛，开比光还快的喷气飞机。李斯特和孙悟空两人一定会很投缘。”

在我的心目中，我将是结合鲁宾斯坦的甜美和霍洛维茨的微妙的一位钢琴家。

From Booklist

Smith spent much of a tumultuous life in one glamorous endeavor, filmmaking, wishing he were in another, writing. How he evolved from thrill-seeking, drug- and alcohol-besotted low man on the Hollywood totem pole to sober, insightful writer is the subject of this moving, gently written memoir made up of 12 loosely connected personal essays, in which he touches on such diverse topics as love of skydiving, ambivalence about his family, and struggling repeatedly with chemical addiction. As the book’s title implies, Smith also spends a lot of time discussing the film industry—how he found work in it, whom he met, the niche he occupied, what a key grip does (rigs lights, prepares dolly shots, does last-minute construction), and why he stayed in the field despite long hours, grueling pace, and exploitative producers. Altogether, a wise, intensely readable autobiography that should please those who enjoy reading about transformation-filled life journeys and those who like a spoonful of gossip to make the life lessons go down. --Jack Helbig

Review

“The hottest artist on the classical music planet may well be the Chinese pianist Lang Lang…the darling of fans worldwide.”
