She is the woman of the rest of my life. She made me understand the mysterious link I have had with China since my concerts in Beijing and Shanghai in 1981. I became the first Western musician to perform there after the Mao period. Through his meeting, Li gave me an answer about this journey. I am very lucky to share my life with a woman whose kindness I admire, who is capable of integrating everywhere despite linguistic, social and cultural barriers. It's very rare to have such open-mindedness, such serenity.
