In September 2019, Lang Lang Arts Foundation came to Rizhao City, Shandong Province, and donated three 'Keys of Joy' music classrooms to Chengxi Primary School, Nanhu Town Central Primary School and Dongchen Primary School in Donggang District, Rizhao City. The donation ceremony was held in the Dongchen Primary School in Chentuan Town.
On September 1, the first day of the new semester, Lang Lang came to the Dongchen Primary School to give the children here a piano lesson. 'Do Re Mi', listening to the familiar notes flowing from their fingertips, the students learnt very carefully on their first piano lesson.

The three donated schools are all located in rural areas or the integration of urban and rural areas. Compared with urban schools, their educational resources, especially the arts and sports education resources, are relatively limited.
In order to create a better learning environment for the poor, left-behind and special group children in the three schools, with the active efforts of Lang Lang Arts Foundation, the schools and local government, three 'Keys of Joy' music classrooms have been set up in Donggang District of Rizhao City, providing children here with professional music facilities for the first time.

As Lang Lang said at the donation ceremony, 'I hope music can spread to every corner, bringing love and hope.' We look forward to the 'Keys of Joy' music classrooms to let the children from the countryside have a happy childhood.
