Joshua Bell's playing in the subway station was a social experiment. It asks ques-tions: in a common environment at a wrong hour, do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop to make a response(反应)? If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music. How many other things are we ignoring(忽视)?
