The erhu, an ancient Chinese instrument. A two string violin dating from over 4,000 years ago. My grandfather use to play it, when he took breaks from painting and other ventures. After he passed, I asked mom about it. Said that Uncle Wai claimed it from the family heirloom.
She asked around her Cantonese Opera circle, one of their live musicians happened to have over 20 instruments, doesn’t play anymore, and wanted to gift it to me.
A journey to the past, and future…
