Cheng Yu told us about her recent trip to Beijing. She attended a meeting of the Beijing Guqin Yanjiu Hui in October. She observed that an increasing number of children are learning the qin now, and reaching quite a high standard. One nine year old girl at the meeting played Changmen Yuan remarkably well. This is a very encouraging development, and must surely bode well for the future of the qin.

Cheng Yu had a London Youlan Qin Society seal made while she was in Beijing. It shows 6 characters for London Youlan Qinshe:
