On the morning of January 7th, 2020, with the beautiful sound of piano, the donation ceremony of 'Keys of Joy' music classrooms opened in the Mongolian primary school of Shiguai District, Baotou City. Lang Lang, the United Nations Ambassador of Peace and internationally renowned pianist, brought a special New Year gift to the school -- the 'Keys of Joy' music room.

This is the first time that Lang Lang Arts Foundation has brought the 'Keys of Joy' music classroom program to Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. We donated music classrooms to five schools here, including Mongolian Primary School in Shiguai District, Baotou City, Hantai New Education Experimental Primary School in Dongsheng District, Ordos City, Sangendalai Mongolian School in Zhenglan Banner of Xilin Gol League, Tumuertai Primary School in Chahar Right Wing Rear Banner Banner of Wulanchabu City, and Mongolian Experimental School in Horqin Left Wing Middle Banner of Tongliao City.

At the donation ceremony, Lang Lang interacted with the children. 'I've been dreaming that I can be a world-famous pianist like Lang Lang in the future!' At the event, the children expressed their thanks to Lang Lang with their pictures and notes. Lang Lang performed 'Jasmine Flower' solo and 'Swan Goose' with Ulan Muqir troupe from Inner Mongolia. Song Saisai, CEO of Lang Lang Arts Foundation, signed donation contracts with the principals of the five schools.

'I really hope that music can spread to every corner of China and bring love and hope to children.' At the donation ceremony, Lang Lang said that music education is very important, and he hoped that the charity donation could bring his favorite piano music art to different areas of China.

These five schools are all located in poverty-stricken villages or the confluence of urban and rural areas, and their educational resources, especially arts and sports education resources, are less than those of urban schools in developed areas. This donation will help improve the level of art education in these schools and give children wings to their music dreams.

A large number of ethnic minorities live in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Mongolian children are good at singing and dancing, and many students have shown their musical talent since childhood. Now, with 'Keys of Joy' music classrooms, children can freely develop their talents and potential in the world of music.

The five classrooms in Inner Mongolia are the first batch of donations from the Lang Lang Arts Foundation in 2020. In the coming year, Lang Lang Arts Foundation will continue to help more children grow up healthily and happily accompanied by music art.
