She began studying classical guitar in 1997 under the direction of Mr. Chenzi/Chanchi of the Central Conservatory of Music of China.

音樂無國界~
只有用心去客觀評判
才能了解是否真正公平
我個人認為美國方面
在眾多古典吉他專業人士雲集的場合見證之下
絕對會以公平公正的態度給予這個獎
在此恭喜陳教授和蘇萌與朱丹再次為國爭光

苏萌获得的是帕肯宁青年组比赛, 还不是高一个级别帕肯宁国际比赛, 不过也很难得了, 正式帕肯宁国际比赛奖金是$50000. 俺已经贴出了获奖名单(英文)
