Peng also always prepared small booklets in French, introducing her audience to the guzheng and its history.

"This is the guzheng, do you know? The Chinese guzheng," a little boy standing beside Peng said proudly to his friends, as she played the instrument on the street one day.

She says the encounter made her feel that what she was doing was very meaningful, and she was able to introduce people, including children, to the name of the guzheng "just by busking".

After each performance, people were always amazed at the beauty of the instrument and the music, Peng says. They came to her and asked her what it was called and what country it came from. "I was very happy to tell them it came from China," she says.

Her audience also appreciated her for playing them Chinese music as they had little access to it, Peng adds.
