GUZHENG SETS THE NEW GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
A new Guinness World Record has been set on 8 August in Huludao, when 2,348 guzheng enthusiasts from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore struck strings in unison, each using their own guzheng.
Hong Kong guzheng students and musicians too have taken part in this record-breaking activity under the leadership of guzheng artist Lunlun Zou.

TV INTERVIEW WITH LUNLUN ZOU’S 3 GIRLS’ BAND
3 Girls’ Band at the TVB studio
On June 3 Lunlun Zou and her 3 Girls’ Band attended shooting of the popular TV show Culture Plaza at the studios of channel TVB in Tseng Kwan O, Hong Kong. They recorded the 3 Girls’ Band playing 2 songs (Zhan Tai Feng and Wan Shui Qian Shan Zong Shi Qing), after which the girls answered curious questions of the host Albert Cheung.
Members of the 3 Girls’ Band are Lunlun Zou (guzheng), Cheng Yu Ting (erhu) and Zhang Ying (pipa). The band continues in the tradition of Lunlun’s earlier band, Three Sisters, performing Chinese traditional classics as well as contemporary compositions with sparkle and spunk.
The show has aired on 17 June 2007, at 8:30 AM on the channel TVB Jade. Please watch the full length interview and musical performance (Zhan Tai Feng and Wan Shui Qian Shan Zong Shi Qing):
DEBUT OF THE 3 GIRLS’ BAND
Debut of the 3 Girls’ Band
After years of preparations, Lunlun Zou debuted with her Chinese music ensemble 3 Girls’ Bandat a private concert in Hong Kong.
Some of you may already know that during her stay in Sydney, Australia, Lunlun has been part of a band 3 Sisters, which was made up of Lunlun Zou (guzheng), Lulu Liu (pipa) and Ying Ying Liu (erhu). The trio often performed at events in Sydney, including the stage of the Sydney opera house.
Like the phoenix rose from ashes, so did the Three Sisters, this time under the name 3 Girls’ Band.
The name of the new ensemble in Chinese language is literally “3 Phoenixes”, although this translation has not been chosen in favor of the simpler and more memorable 3 Girls’ Band. The ensemble is directed by Lunlun Zou and plans to perform at events in Hong Kong and China.
Enjoy watching an abbreviated video recording from this concert:
HAPPY PIG YEAR! HAPPY YEAR OF THE PIG!
The large part of the world which follows the lunar calendar has recently celebrated the arrival of the New Year.
The people of Hong Kong were thrilled to take some rest after 12 months of exhausting work. To their delight, Lunlun Zou and her student Panting have made this most special occasion festive as demanded by traditions. During several evenings they performed splendidly for the Hong Kong audience with a selection of Chinese festival music using the guzheng instrument.
As the Chinese literally say, “happy pig year!” and to the rest of you “happy year of the pig!”
THANKS FOR YOUR LETTERS!
I want to extend my warmest thanks to all my friends and fans who sent me cards during the past holiday season. Among them were many which made me feel that my efforts resonate and are making a difference in your lives. I chose to quote this one, sent to me from Moscow, Russia:
I just want to say thank you … Studying in a foreign country makes me miss playing guzheng a lot. Thank you for giving me the urge of playing my instrument. I will always keep playing guzheng for the rest of my life. I feel that it is part of my soul. Thank you very much again … May the passion of music and love for guzheng live forever in everyone …
