My favourite famous composer Biography • My favourite composer from China is Ding Shande. • Ding was born in Kunshan, Jiangsu. He studied music with teachers including Huang Tzu at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Ding taught at the Shanghai Conservatory in the late 1930s. From 1947 to 1949, he studied composition in the Paris Conservatoire with Noël Gallon, Tony Aubin, and Nadia Boulanger. He also attended the courses of Arthur Honegger. From 1949, he taught at the Shanghai Conservatory again and became a vice president of the conservatory later. He died in Shanghai in 1995. • Ding's influential composition includes the Long March Symphony, symphonic suite New China, and the children's piano suite Happy Festival.

Traditional dish of China • Dumplings are the most famous traditional Chinese food, which were invented by medical sage Zhang Zhongjing more than 1,800 years ago. At that time, Chinese herbal medicine was stuffed in with mutton to prevent cold and cure pernio in winter. Soon, dumplings became popular around China, and people filled them in a bowl with the soup to eat them together.
