" I write songs based on what I observe in everyday life"____Leehom Wang.    1976年，王力宏出生在美国纽约一户富裕的华人家庭。他的哥哥比他大3岁，9年后，妈妈又给他添了一个弟弟，一家五口人幸福美满。像其他美国小孩一样，王力宏从9岁开始就靠打工挣零花钱。那时候，他以为纽约就是宇宙的中心，每天骑著单车去送报纸。饥肠辘辘地回到家时，吃着妈妈的甜馅饼则是他一天中最开心的事。

Wánglìhóng liù suì kāishǐ xué xiǎotíqín , bā suì xué gāngqín . Biéde háizi dōu yuànyì xuǎnzé kàn diànshì hé wán yóuxì , Wánglìhóng què kěyǐ liánxù liàn qín sān ge xiǎoshí .

Kàn zhe érzi rú chī rú zuì dì chénjìn zài yīnyuè zhōng , māma bèi shēn shēn de dǎdòng le .

一天，妈妈去学校接9岁的小力宏，教他小提琴的老师对他妈妈说，你的儿子对音乐的感觉和表现力很强，他应该放弃其他的活动，每天保证四个小时的练琴时间，坚持下去，他有可能成为一位优秀的提琴家。

yītiān, māma qù xuéxiào jiē jiǔ Xiǎo Lìhóng , jiāo tā xiǎotíqín de lǎoshī duì tāmā mā shuō , nǐ de érzi duì yīnyuè de gǎnjué hé biǎoxiàn lì hěn qiáng , tā yīnggāi fàngqì qítā de huódòng , měi tiān bǎozhèng sì ge xiǎoshí de liàn qín shíjiān , jiānchí xiàqù , tā yǒu kě néngchéngwéi yī wèi yōuxiù de tí qín jiā .

妈妈点点头，没有回答老师。她想起从前学提琴的朋友，从小不敢打网球，不敢滑雪，童年不能参加体育活动，只是因为害怕手会受伤-------妈妈觉得孩子快乐比做音乐神童要好。可是才9岁的王力宏对妈妈说：“妈妈，我最喜欢的还是音乐，我还是想把更多时间放在音乐上！”妈妈大吃一惊，她觉得这句话好像是从儿子心底说出来的。既然儿子天生就与音乐有不解之缘，做妈妈的更应该尊重儿子的选择。

Māma diǎndiǎntóu , méiyǒu huídá lǎoshī . Tā xiǎngqǐ cóngqián xué tí qín de péngyou , cóng xiǎo bù gǎn dǎ wǎngqiú , bù gǎn huáxuě , tóngnián bù néng cānjiā tǐyù huódòng , zhǐ shì yīnwèi hàipà shǒu huì shòushāng -------māma juéde háizi kuàilè bǐ zuò yīnyuè shéntóng yàohǎo .

妈妈为王力宏请了专门的音乐老师，王力宏也放弃了其他的活动，一心一意练习钢琴，小提琴。 13岁，王力宏就写出了他的第一首歌，受到了亲朋好友的一致好评。
