Bravely face yourself, bravely understand the world, and then bravely exert your abilities. — Yu LIU

For the "Teachers' Remarks III" interview series, we invited faculty members from various divisions of the School of Music, CUHK-Shenzhen. These are individuals with outstanding achievements and rich experiences in the music field, who not only engage in performance and guidance as their professional work but also serve as role models for students through their personal charm and musical talent. In the "Teachers' Remarks III" interview series, students will take on the role of interviewers, engaging in in-depth conversations with our faculties. Through their heartfelt words and wisdom, we hope to provide more enlightenment and guidance to the students, helping them navigate the vast ocean of music to find their own direction and goals.

In the journey of life, we are all explorers, venturing into the unknown with curiosity and desire. We bravely face ourselves, steadfastly confronting our own shadows regardless of inner struggles and confusion. We bravely acknowledge our flaws, embracing both our perfections and imperfections; we bravely explore the world, stepping beyond the boundaries of our comfort zones, engaging with the untried, and experiencing uncharted domains to appreciate the world's diversity and feel the boundless possibilities of life; we bravely utilize our abilities, daring to challenge and surpass ourselves. We must believe in our potential, boldly display our talents, and prove our worth through actions. Only then can we unleash our full potential and achieve our greatest value. Let us courageously face ourselves, explore the world, make use of our abilities, and with our courage and actions, shape our own remarkable path!
