Taiwanese Singer Thanks VP Hsiao Bi-khim for Facilitating Piano Donation to Children

Taiwanese Golden Melody Award winner Li Chu-hsin recently returned to Hualien to perform, using the occasion to share a heartwarming story that highlights the impact of kindness and community support. She expressed deep gratitude to Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim for her assistance in donating a cherished electronic piano to underprivileged children. This act of generosity, facilitated by Hsiao Bi-khim's office when she served as a legislator in Hualien, has resonated deeply with Li, reminding her of her own musical journey.

Li Chu-hsin recounted how the electronic piano, a gift from her parents in elementary school, was instrumental in her early music composition and arrangement, accompanying her until her university graduation. After purchasing her own second-hand electronic piano, she decided to pass on her beloved instrument. Learning about Hsiao Bi-khim's initiative to send used desks and chairs to rural areas, Li reached out through the legislator's fan page, inquiring about the possibility of donating the piano.

“

Now, I am a proper 'crazy woman,' and this piano, with its yellowed keys and beautiful memories, might still be in a tutoring classroom in some tribe... Does this count as, in a way, 'chasing Bi-khim'?

The electronic piano eventually found its way to a tribal after-school tutoring group, where it continues to inspire young musicians. Li shared footage of the children using the instrument, a touching reminder of its enduring legacy. The story gained further attention when Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim herself responded on social media, thanking Li for her donation and expressing hope that the piano would help nurture the musical talents of another generation of children. Hsiao's response, which included the playful phrase "let's chase Bi-khim together," added a personal and engaging touch to the heartwarming exchange.

Thank you for donating the piano to the tribal children back then. Perhaps another group of equally talented children can also compose beautiful music with this piano, let's chase Bi-khim together!
