It is not attitude change. In the past during that Cultural Holocaust general public had no access to the classics, thus remain ignorant.Now you and I and everybody can readily access, learn about it and enjoy it. Chinese classical music (with contribution from other Eastern Asian cultures such Japan and Korea) is one of the four great music systems in the world along with South Asian (India etc), Middle-eastern )Jewish, Persian, Arabic etc) and Western Classics.

amazing, she doesn't play the music she feels it, it does not come withing but simply is and waits to be channeled and given a beauty we can understand. This is what it means to have passion for your art

No, but this instrument is the forerunner of the Biwa. Actually, the Japanese Biwa is a direct descendant of the T'ang Dynasty Pipa, which was played with a plectrum. The Sanxian and Okinawan Sanshin are the ancestors of the Shamisen.

I must admit that people of my middle-aged generation used to have a contempt for this kind of Chinese classical music in the past, simply because it was old-fashioned. Now that China is a superpower and an economic powerhouse, everything seems to be nice and Chinese classical music deserves a good place in the modern China. My attitude changes. Today I really enjoy the lovely pipa melody and feel proud to be Chinese. 哈哈!
