"I know how to inspire children to do music, to teach them how to play music in creative ways," he said.

Lang Lang said he has also cooperated with other institutions and corporations to provide funding so that music can be included in schools' regular curriculum.

Besides, the musician has developed The Lang Lang Piano Method, a series of five books, to help children aged 5-10 learn music. The books have been released in the West, and the Chinese edition will be available in September.

Lang Lang also works with the United Nations to hold concerts and provide donations for schools with disabled children in China.

Coming from Shenyang, capital of Northeast China's Liaoning province, Lang Lang said he is very proud of his roots and has partnered with the Liaoning Provincial Television to create a program called Lang Lang Sky. "We invited 200 sanitary workers to a recent concert," Lang Lang said, adding that he would like to do more in the future for those who work very hard.

"I want everyone to enjoy what music gives us," he said. "This hope, this love, this wonderful moment. I want everyone to feel that."
