Tips

culture
Born in Chongqing, Li won the Chopin Competition's first-prize gold medal in 2000 - a prize that had been withheld for 15 years before he claimed it. For a decade afterward he and Lang Lang were framed in Chinese media as the twin faces of mainland classical piano.
history
In October 2021 he was detained in Beijing for soliciting a prostitute; his state media profiles were scrubbed within hours and his performances canceled - a high-profile example of how quickly a Chinese celebrity can be erased following a '失德' (moral failure) incident.
