Chinese police officials have announced that they have detained world-renowned Chinese pianist Yundi Li on suspicion of prostitution. As Xi Jinping’s leadership tightens its squeeze on the entertainment world, it seems that prominent musicians have shown a willingness to crack down on it without exception.
Police officials in Beijing, China, announced on the 21st that they have detained world-renowned Chinese pianist Yundi Li, 39, on suspicion of prostitution.
He admitted that he was detained with the other woman.
In 2000, Yundi Li was the first Chinese to win the “Chopin International Piano Competition”, which is known as a gateway to leading pianists in one of the three major competitions in the world, and has performed in Japan.
On the 21st, the winners of the “Chopin International Piano Competition” were just announced, and there was a note on the internet saying “‘Piano Prince’ lost his way as a star in an instant.”
On the other hand, the electronic version of the Chinese Communist Party’s newspaper, People’s Daily, has criticized all at once, pointing out that “the more you become a celebrity, the more you need to cherish your honor.”
Xi Jinping’s leadership has tightened the squeeze on the entertainment world by detecting popular actors with huge tax evasion, and it seems that well-known musicians have shown a stance of cracking down without exception.
