Enchanting Sydney's streets with Chinese music

Dong Min, a talented Chinese flutist, captivates the streets of Sydney with traditional Chinese music, fosters cultural exchange and musical education, Meng Wenjie reports.

On the bustling streets of Sydney, Australia, a young Chinese woman, adorned in elegant hanfu, the traditional attire of China, gracefully holds a dizi, the bamboo flute of China, enchanting passersby with the melodies of traditional Chinese music.

The videos of her performances have been making the news since earlier this year. And the performer is Dong Min, a talented musician born in 1990.

When she was growing up, Dong noticed that many dizi musicians were male. So, at the age of 8 when she first saw a female performer playing the bamboo flute on TV, her eyes lit up. "I thought it was cool for girls to play the dizi," she said, recalling how she persuaded her parents to buy her one so she could learn it.
