"I haven't touched the violin for 30 years. In order to perform for the students, I am determined to pick up the violin again." Recalling his past, Principal Ye said that influenced by his neighbors, he voluntarily asked to learn the violin when he graduated from primary school and learned it for seven years. When he graduated from university, because of the increasingly heavy academic and scientific research tasks, he stopped training the violin. In early September this year, encouraged by Mr. Cao Peng, a conductor, he decided to perform for the teachers and students at the New Year's concert of the whole school. For this reason, Principal Ye specially made a violin practice plan: getting up half an hour earlier every morning to practice the violin; going to the school art center every afternoon at the weekend to rehearse with the student art troupe. Cao Peng, the artistic director of Shanghai University and a famous conductor, laughed and said, "The university president goes on stage to play the violin accompanied by the student orchestra, which might be the first in China." Evening Post News: The principal practiced hard for four months in order to play a solo violin for the teachers and students of the whole school. Last night, at the Weichang Building of Shanghai University, Professor Ye Zhiming, vice president of Shanghai University, together with Ms. Xia Xiaocao, executive artistic director of the Shanghai University Art Troupe, played the violin duet "My Motherland", and their performance was greeted with thunderous applause.
