The New York Times reported that a suburb of Beijing, Donggaocun, is trying to become the new stringed instrument capitol of the world. The town is home to a manufacturing plant of cheap violins, cellos, etc. Many residents of various ages are learning to play violin.
The lead is AWESOME. I loved it. I thought it was a good story as well. There is a lot of information and it's all tied together nicely. I would have otherwise never known about any part of this story.
