Twenty-five years ago, Zhu Xinqiu was born in a poor family in Taohua Village, City B.

The small mountain village is extremely poor, with a per capita annual income of no more than 1,000 yuan, and the transportation is very inconvenient, and there is basically no communication with the outside world.

The people in the small mountain village are so poor that they can only eat some boiled cabbage and potatoes every day, and eating meat is a rare luxury for a year.

And the family where Zhu Xinqiu was born is even poorer to the extreme.

Zhu Xinqiu's father is a violent maniac, in addition to beating and scolding Zhu Xinqiu and his mother every day, he is causing trouble everywhere, and in the end, Zhu's mother can only lose money.

At that time, Zhu Xinqiu was young, and he couldn't eat enough every day, so he could only steal food from other families.

At first, everyone just took pity on him, and they let him steal a potato or two.

But later, Zhu Xinqiu's family's money was all gone, and the family couldn't open the pot for three days, and in the end, Zhu's mother could only dig some wild vegetables to eat.

Zhu Xinqiu can only steal the food of other family members again and again.

Later, Zhu's father found out, and he went to other people's houses to steal some meat or steamed buns to eat.

At that time, everyone was poor, and they were reluctant to eat rice and noodles on weekdays, so how could they forgive Na Zhu Xinqiu for stealing?

Everyone hid things tightly, and later, Zhu Xinqiu couldn't steal them.

What he couldn't steal was that Zhu Xinqiu's temper became more and more irritable, and he hit Zhu Xinqiu's thin body again and again with the wooden stick with thick arms.

And every now and then, Zhu's mother wipes her tears next to her, but she won't stop Zhu's father at all.

In the decade-long abuse, Zhu Xinqiu became more and more silent, and the whole person was gloomy, which made people scared when they saw it.

Until one day, the people in the village found out that the Zhu family had moved away.

He said he had moved away, but he didn't take anything with him at home, and it was as if he had disappeared into the village for no reason.

At that time, the people in the village did not like to wish their families, and they were all happy about their departure.

Later, when Zhu Xinqiu appeared in front of everyone again, he won the championship of the World Piano Competition at the age of sixteen.

In the six years from the age of ten to sixteen, Zhu Xinqiu's experience seemed to be just a blank.

But Tao Yanqi still found a little thing, such as Zhu Xinqiu left Peach Blossom Village alone.

Ten-year-old Zhu Xinqiu, penniless and without a job to recruit him, he wandered and finally worked in an underground casino.

So what is the underground casino?

The miasma of smoke and chaos is unbearable, and Zhu Xinqiu has suffered a lot there, and he can't say it.

Zhu Xinqiu spent two years there, and when he was thirteen years old, he was taken home by an old man.

Zhu Xinqiu is extremely talented in music, and the old man is a retired piano professor.

The old man taught Zhu Xinqiu to play the piano, and as long as he played a note wrong, he would be punished by not being able to eat or even drink water for a day.

At the beginning, Zhu Xinqiu often could only eat one bowl of rice for a few days, and sometimes even did not eat for a week, so he could only survive by drinking water from the dirty faucet.

Later, Zhu Xinqiu's skills became more and more proficient, and he never missed a note.

At the age of sixteen, the old man died, leaving him a large inheritance.

But that inheritance must be given to him by winning the World Piano Competition.
