    Thank you all the guys who like my playing. I posted this video 4.5 years ago and barely came back to check it. I did' t know that there are so many people to like it. I was a beginner at that time and still a beginner right now because life is tough here and I don't have much time to practice. This is a beautiful piece of music and Cessebabe arranged the sheet very well. All I did is just to play it. I saw many comments mentioning Asian. Seems like there's a strong stereotype about Asian, haha. But I practiced a lot before recording this video, just like most people do before showing their videos. So there's nothing to do with my ethnicity but only practicing. And I am not a nerd; music is just one of my hobbies, just like most people - including westerners. Thank you all anyway.

    To those who like my video with praise and kindness: Thank you all. I may not deserve this but I appreciate all of your words. I've sold my piano and turned my music interest to accordion. I've had so much fun with my accordion. But who knows? Maybe I'll buy a piano and play it again someday. Anyway, thank you all and may the music be with you. Cheers.
    To those who think they can judge people from places and cultures they don't know: Lifes may look different at the beginning, but in the end all of us come to a very same, infinitesimal point. So please be kinder to, not just others, but to your own soul. Treat it well.

    I am glad this pianist did not separate the first few notes by a lot, like most other youtube musicians do, because it is at the right length already, any more and you begin to lose connection to the rhythm . I am happy that he is precise with his rhythm and clear.

    All those asian jokes and whines that only asian people can do this.. I bet this man has practiced hours and hours in his life to be a very good pianist.
    The problem with alot of people is mentality, laziness and lack of persistence.
    Will Smith once said: "Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft."
    Anyway, very well played mr Cheng!
