"Some of my friends doubted my decision to perform on an entertainment show. But my purpose was simple. I just want to let people see the instrument and know its sound. After that, they will be curious to know the history and hear more music from it."

After his Beijing performance, Feng will take a break in May and consider his next plan on how to further spread the instrument and his musical innovation.

"I want to keep the instrument alive and popularize it," he says.
