Michael Dean talks to Fou Ts'ong

The concert pianist Fou Ts'ong was born in Shanghai in China. When he was 23 he fled and came to England in order to go on playing the western music he loves which the Communist regime condemned. He never saw his parents again. In 1966, after being persecuted by fanatical Red Guards, they committed suicide in Shanghai. Fou Ts'ong now lives in exile in London but travels widely giving concerts all over the world.
