In his prolonged break from the piano – you can see his left hand still encased in a surgical sleeve – the Chinese pianist dropped in on the United Nations secretary-general, António Guterres, this week for an informal chat about world affairs.

Looks like they solved the North Korea problem.

    It’s more probable that the “N Korea problem” will be solved by bang-bang, not by Lang-Lang. But he should be given a chance (even Lang-Lang is better than bang-bang).

  • V. Lind says:

    Sarcasms notwithstanding, Lang Lang is a UN goodwill ambassador so he probably drops in on HQ occasionally.

    I find this tendency to post stories with subtle sneers at Lang Lang and certain other artists rather infantile, as well as malicious.

  • DrummerMan says:

    Agree with V. Lind!!

    Lang Lang is neither female, black, transgender nor Jew.
