Not long ago, a video of a construction worker wearing a safety helmet and work clothes playing the piano on the streets of Shenzhen was uploaded online, causing many netizens to like it. Everyone exclaimed that this scene brought deep emotion and warmth to people, while also curious about why he played the piano here and why pianos appeared on the street.
The construction worker who plays the piano is called Yi Qunlin. In an interview, he said that he learned piano at a relative's house in the county town when he was young, but it has been more than 30 years since he touched it. At that time, he and his son saw someone playing at the subway entrance and asked if it was a charity piano that anyone could play. Encouraged by his son, Yi Qunlin went up and played a few songs, and his son recorded this scene.
On the Huaqiangbei Pedestrian Street in Shenzhen, there are a total of eight pianos, which have been displayed by the street office since 2018 for citizens to play for free. There are various identities of players who use public welfare pianos in their daily lives, including workers like Yi Qunlin, doctors, retired teachers, and professional piano teachers. Fans have also established a fan group for Huaqiangbei Public Welfare Piano, where they will meet after work to feel the joy and warmth beyond their busy lives.

Music is not limited to neatly dressed and upright music halls, but can also appear in bustling streets and alleys. A small piano corner is like a harbor for the soul, where both the performer and the listener can temporarily set aside their daily troubles and enjoy the pleasure brought by art.
With the development of cities, people hope that urban management will be more humane and reflect more warmth and flexibility. By paying attention to the needs of different groups and striving to enable everyone to enjoy the fruits of cultural construction, the sound of street music may seem like a small detail in the city, but it brings considerable inspiration and demonstration. Providing convenient and accessible cultural facilities and services to the public, such as free street performance opportunities, low-priced cultural performances, and public art education, unleashes the humanistic care of the city and elevates its cultural realm.
The core of a city is people. People's cities are built by the people, and people's cities are for the people. Allowing the wider masses of the people to share the fruits of high-quality development is the passion and warmth that cities should possess.

In May this year, Yi Qunlin and his colleagues were invited to visit the Concert Hall of Shenzhen Guangming Cultural and Art Center, during which he stepped onto the stage to play piano music for everyone. This is not only a shining moment that Yi Qunlin deserves, but also a tribute to all urban builders who strive to create a better life. Allowing everyone's interests to be discovered, talents to be seen and appreciated, showcases the openness and inclusiveness of the city.
This peaceful place is my hometown. The melody of the charity piano also connects people who wander in foreign lands, conveying friendship and goodwill between strangers. Because of love, persist; Because of shared love, there is a sense of belonging. The piano plays not only music, but also the passion and creativity for building cities together.
