As a child, Liu Wenwen didn't like the suona, a "loud" traditional Chinese musical instrument, also an ancestral treasure of her family that was to become her career.
Liu says she felt ashamed. In the 1990s, people admired things that were modern and international. The suona was considered out of date. Her father's family has performed with the suona for seven generations, while the tradition on her mother's side of the family can be traced back to the early Qing Dynasty. Despite her unwillingness, she followed her parents to play the suona as early as 3 years old. Besides it, Liu has also learned traditional Chinese vocal music and dancing—skills that have improved her oral muscles and sense of rhyme, helping equip her to be a professional musician.
It wasn't until 2008 that she first found suona music beautiful. That was when she entered Shanghai Conservatory of Music to learn the instrument more systematically from Liu Ying, a professor and top player. "The music played by the professor is just amazing, and different from what I had heard before," she says.
She loves exchanging ideas about suona playing techniques with her students. "It's wonderful to see the younger generation carrying on this cultural tradition." Liu Wenwen said she is pleased to see the suona regain popularity among young people, sometimes combined with jazz, opera and other art forms. This has stopped its decline in the 1990s. Her name, when mentioned on China's social media platforms, is often followed by a video of her live performance at a concert in Sydney, Australia. Westerners were amazed by the loud, unfamiliar instrument and its colourful music. "I feel my hard work has paid off. I have been training for over 20 years, probably just to win cheers and applause for traditional Chinese music on the international stage."

小时候，刘文文不喜欢唢呐，这是一种“声音响亮”的中国传统乐器，也是她家的传家宝，而它后来成了她的职业。
刘文文说她曾为此感到难为情。在20世纪90年代，人们崇尚现代化和国际化的事物。唢呐被认为已经过时了。她父亲家族已经有七代人演奏唢呐，而她母亲家族的这一传统可以追溯到清朝早期。尽管不情愿，她早在3岁时就跟着父母学习演奏唢呐了。除此之外，刘文文还学习了中国传统声乐和舞蹈——这些技能改善了她的口腔肌肉和韵律感，有助于让她成为一名专业的音乐家。
直到2008年，她才第一次觉得唢呐音乐很美。那是她进入上海音乐学院，向教授、顶级演奏家刘英更系统地学习这种乐器的时候。“这位教授演奏的音乐太棒了，和我以前听过的都不一样，”她说。
她喜欢和学生交流唢呐演奏技巧方面的想法。“看到年轻一代传承这一文化传统，感觉很棒。”刘文文说，她很高兴看到唢呐在年轻人中重新流行起来，有时还会与爵士乐、歌剧和其他艺术形式相结合。这阻止了它在20世纪90年代的衰落。在中国的社交媒体平台上提到她的名字时，后面往往会跟着一段她在澳大利亚悉尼一场音乐会上现场表演的视频。西方人为这种响亮、陌生的乐器及其丰富多彩的音乐感到惊叹。“我觉得我的努力得到了回报。我训练了20多年，可能就是为了在中国传统音乐在国际舞台上赢得欢呼和掌声。”
