About Selina Fang
I began studying the erhu in 2012 and received formal, long-term training under Professor Yihe Yang of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music. I later continued my studies with Professor Huaiyan Gu from the Nanjing University of the Arts.
I achieved Level 9 with distinction in the professional erhu performance examinations.
In addition to solo training, I served as President of the school’s Traditional Music Club, organizing cultural performances and artistic events while promoting the exchange and appreciation of traditional Chinese music within both the school and local community.

KONG SHEN NIAO YU
Modern-era musician Tianhua Liu ingeniously drew inspiration from Tang dynasty poet Wang Wei's poem The Deer Enclosure, which includes the line: "In pathless hills no man's in sight, but I still hear echoing sound."
Liu transformed the “echoes of human voices” into “the sounds of birds” in his erhu piece Birdsong in a Desolate Mountain (Kongshan Niaoyu).
The “empty mountain” here refers to Huangshan in Jiangyin, Jiangsu — Liu’s hometown — where dense bamboo forests and flourishing nature create an environment filled with birdsong and flowers. Through music, she vividly depicts a scene of countless birds singing in the deep, tranquil valleys of the mountains.
