Read Dr Wangs real life story:
“A 14 year-old boy denied of any chance of schooling and hope for a better life”

Born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province of the People's Republic of China, Dr. Wang grew up in a traditional Chinese family with a strong emphasis on family values. His grandparents are from the Fujian Province, and he speaks their dialect which is similar to the dialect spoken by the people from Taiwan. Dr. Wang's grandfather was a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. His father, Zhen-sheng Wang, his mother, Alian Xu, and his brother, Ming-yu Wang, are all physicians as well.

Dr. Wang went to the Yan An 2nd Primary School, Hangzhou 14th Middle School, and 11th Middle School. After graduating from junior high school, Dr. Wang was forced to leave school despite his straight A record. Continued education would result in him being sent far away from the Hangzhou city to become a farmer for life by the government as a part of the forced "education" for the youth during the "Cultural Revolution" in China (1966-1976).

Having nothing to do at home at the young age of 13, Dr. Wang found passion in playing the erhu, a traditional Chinese string instrument. He tried to become a professional musician to avoid janitorial work, the only job available. He practiced 15 hours a day on the erhu.

His music dream evaporated as the government decided that no music students would be recruited from the Hangzhou city that year. Devastated, he joined the "lost generation" of chinese youth who lost faith for the future. . He met a young and talented writer, Wu Tian Ma, son of the famous Chinese writer who wrote "Xiao Dao Hui", and together they shared their despair and frustration of the lack of a future for youth such as themselves. As Dr. Wang had studied and played music before, he and Tian-ma collaborated on many songs. Tian-ma wrote a dozen poems, and Dr. Wang wrote the music. They even wrote an opera together. One of the songs that they wrote together was called "Qiou Ge" (Prisoner's Song).
