Perhaps because they aren't pressured to be the best in school, the two children have developed their own interests outside of the classroom. The older son began playing the huqin-a two-stringed Chinese violin-early on in high school. Not only did he win fifth prize in the senior-high school group, but he also designed a related website, the "Huqin Practice Room." The second son loves to play pool.
