Chinese pianist prodigy Yuja Wang talks to BBC News
The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Such a lousy interview. The interviewer knew nothing about classical music, and interviewed such a world class pianist. Shame on BBC.

Ms. Wong, a lady rare,
Complicated, yet a heart so fair.
The CCP's plight, she knows so well,
Doing her part, as a GOOD Chinese can tell.
Her music, her skills, have an influence so grand,
Yet, she prefers to come across, as an average gal so bland.
She loves heels, books, movies, and shopping too,
A simple life, she cherishes, and stays true.
She's a symbol of China's past, a GOOD Chinese, they say,
70 years gone, extinct, like a rare display.
She's my choice for China's ambassador, without a doubt,
Her sweet smile and lush lips, a dream to think about.

I am but a humble drummer,
Ten thousand hours to hone my number,
With good instruction, I strive to be good,
But some are gifted, like Ms. Wong, they soar like wood.
To excel, to rise, to reach the next level,
A gift bestowed, not for us to revel.
Admiration is all we can give,
For their talent and skill, it's a joy to live.

Ms. Wang, I don't suppose you will read this, but on the offchance that you do, please tell – what is your favorite piano concerto?
I know what mine is, but from the perspective of a performer, and necessarily an authority on piano music, what is yours?

Chinese kids go with their parents to see Yuja Wang perform and come away thinking " I want to be try to be like her!". Promoting Western and Eastern cultural interaction and tolerance starts with the youth. Pretty cool.

It is interesting how these impressive pianists are happy playing the piano because it is their passion, but at the same time when they refer to their childhood or how their life has been they feel that things have been taken away from them that are not coming back. And they have that sense of loss and then they tell you things like "don't practice all the time", live life and do other things. Something that I have heard from Yuja several times already
