Self-awareness and values should be seen as a dynamic process. — Xiaogeng LI

The "Art Lighthouse Project" embarks on a new chapter, with esteemed faculties from across divisions joining this season's Teachers' Remarks IV interview series. This edition features distinguished faculty members who bring profound insights, accomplished backgrounds, and inspiring musical talent to the forefront of music education. Their words of wisdom and experiences will motivate students to explore the vast world of music and find their own direction.

"Only through diverse experiences can you discover your strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes, we need to learn to make peace with ourselves; after all, no one is perfect, and we all have inherent flaws. College students don't need to be overly critical of their shortcomings. Those who understand how to leverage their strengths while avoiding weaknesses tend to lead happier lives."
