19日晚，著名钢琴家郎朗受邀前往白宫，在奥巴马为胡锦涛举办的国宴中进行演奏。其中演奏的一首《我的祖国》来自抗美援朝影片《上甘岭》主题曲，有网友指在这种场合演奏这样的作品有点“不合时宜”。对此，朗朗表示演奏《我的祖国》只为表达对祖国的浓烈情感。

昨日，郎朗也特意在自己的FACEBOOK主页上用英文做了一个简短的说明，表示自己是从旋律、情感表达以及国人对曲目的熟悉程度上选择了这些曲目，和其他因素无关。

我们先看看郎朗在facebook中的说明吧：

I was deeply honored to have been invited to perform at the White House recently. The two pieces I played were, one, Maurice Ravel's "Ma mere l'Oye" (Mother Goose) for four hands, the other, a Chinese piece called "My Motherland". I selected this song because it has been a favorite of mine since I was a child. It was selected for no other reason but for the beauty of its melody.

I am, first and foremost, an artist. As such, I play music to bring people together.

America and China are my two homes. I am most grateful to the United States for providing me with such wonderful opportunities, both in my musical studies and for furthering my career. I couldn't be who I am today without those two countries.

My mission is to bridge cultures together through the beauty and inspiration of music.

随后，美国白宫发言人也就此事发表看法：

White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told ABC News that "any suggestion that this was an insult to the United States is just flat wrong. As Lang Lang has stated before, he plays this song regularly because it is one of his favorite Chinese melodies, which is very widely known and popular in China for its melody. Lang Lang played the song without lyrics or reference to any political themes during the entertainment portion of the State Dinner. He simply stated the song's title and noted it was well known in China."

没想到这事儿连白宫发言人都跳出来发话了，还真是闹腾。所谓“音乐没有国界”，其实双方都不必就这首乐曲大做文章啦，背景也好歌词也好，都已成历史。静下心来体会音乐带来的感动吧！（视频渣音质请谅解……）
