She became China's first Ph.D. in the suona. Her journey to that achievement was hard but well worth it. Liu was, in fact, "destined (注定的)" to pick up the suona. Nearly everyone in her family plays this instrument, and the tradition goes back over 300 years. In that sense, what she liked as a young girl—the piano, dancing—didn't really matter. In primary school, Liu had to get up at 4 a.m. every day to practice the suona in a garden near her home. After school, she had to practice at home, too. "It was noisy," Liu says. "I still remember my parents always arguing with our neighbors." When Liu was eight, her mother, Liu Hongmei, began taking her to bigger cities like Beijing to learn from well-known musicians. They would take the late train and arrive in Beijing in the middle of the night. To save money, they would rest in the underpasses(地下通道) of Chang'an Street until it was time for her lesson the next morning. Things got better from the second year of middle school. Liu finally had a regular teacher, the famous suona player Liu Ying. Liu Ying taught her for free until she got into the Shanghai Conservatory of Music after finishing high school. That's when a new chapter began. She picked up new skills and gained a deeper understanding of the suona. It was not the most popular instrument among her peers(同龄人), but she was proud to play it. Liu has performed at many big events. One of the most unforgettable was when she performed with the famous composer Tan Dun in Australia in 2017. She played the most famous suona piece, A Hundred Birds Paying Homages to the Phoenix, and wowed the Sydney Opera House with cheerful bird-like sounds. Those sounds should be heard by more people. For that goal, Liu has experimented with many new ways to mix suona art with modern music. "I believe in being open-minded and trying new things," she says. 51. Why was Liu Wenwen "destined" to play the suona? 52. Where would Liu Wenwen and her mum rest before taking her lessons in Beijing? 53. When did Liu Wenwen get a regular suona teacher? 54. Who did Liu Wenwen perform with in Australia in 2017? 55. What do you think of Liu Wenwen?（请自拟一句话作答） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
