“There is no territory in the world of music.”
Chinese music should carry “universal expression” of the human spirit so as to be recognised by the whole world.
As Tan once said, Chinese music should carry “universal expression（共同理念）” of the human spirit so as to be recognised by the whole world.
他曾说过，中国音乐要承载人文精神的“共同理念”，才能被世界认可。
