Chinese piano virtuoso, 86, is certainly “Older but Wiser”

Aged 86 and visibly suffering from Parkinson’s disease, a revered Chinese pianist has been brought to a new audience via a viral video of her masterful playing. The clip of Elaine Wu performing the classical Chinese composition “Butterfly Lovers” in late February has been reposted more than 30,000 times on the Twitter-like Sina Weibo. Wu’s life is the stuff of legends. She began learning to play piano at the age of 6. When she was 18, her debut public performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.1 drew a rave response in the music industry. At age 23, she served as the first soloist in the China National Orchestra, and China gave her the title of National First Class Pianist in 1962, when she met with then-Premier Zhou Enlai.
