The internationally renowned pianist Liu Shikun, who was rumored to have marital problems earlier, was arrested in Hong Kong on the 8th of this month for allegedly assaulting his wife. On the 9th, the case was heard in court in Hong Kong, and Liu Shikun pleaded "not guilty" in court. After being released on bail and leaving the court, on the afternoon of the same day, Liu Shikun held a press conference at a hotel in Hong Kong accompanied by his piano student Weng Fan (the wife of Yang Zhenning), and issued a statement saying: "I am an artist, and I will not, nor have I ever hit anyone." It is reported that the case has been postponed until the 23rd of this month for further review.
