Cellist Zhang Anni was exposed to verbal and physical sexual harassment by an international music master. (Reposted from Zhang Anni’s Facebook)[Reporter Tu Yingru/Taipei Report]International violinist Lin Zhaoliang was accused of sexual harassment by a New York pianist, and now a second victim is suspected. Today, there is a cellist on Facebook Zhang Anni stood up and said that seeing the recent #metoo incident, she was in a complicated mood every day. She saw a Facebook post regarding a female pianist living in New York from her junior, which made her unable to sleep for a few days. Encouraged by family members and many friends, I decided to dig out past conversation records and try to piece together the unbearable memories.
She mentioned that the reaction of the New York pianist in the article when she mentioned that she went home and squatted on the ground and burst into tears was exactly the same as her own situation following the incident. The statement written by the lawyer, found that she was set to be unable to leave a message under the article of the statement, and then scrolled down to find that other articles might leave a message. She was shocked. This abnormality reminded her of the bad experience many years ago. She wrote down what happened, and everyone also speculated in the message that the perpetrator was Lin Zhaoliang.
Zhang Anni revealed that she was invited to a hotel by an international music master, but she was guided to the room. After chatting and drinking, she began to ask her regarding the size of her breast cup, and then asked for a massage. (Reposted from Zhang Annie’s Facebook page)
The following is the full text of the victim:
In December 2010, I went to Germany with the orchestra to perform. Lin happened to be performing in the next hall of that venue. After the performance, he saw that we were a group from Taiwan. He stayed and listened to our concert. After the meeting, he was very kind. Take pictures with us. He especially praised me for playing the cello very well, and expressed that he wanted to exchange Facebook with me, so that he would have the opportunity to perform together in the future. At that time, I admired him so much, and I didn’t expect the international masters to be so kind. I thought that I would be able to learn a lot from him in the future, which is unbelievable!
He sent a message on February 3, 2011, saying that he wanted to find me to perform in a concert in Hong Kong. In the next few months, besides asking the publisher to send me the score, he also said that he would come to Taiwan on May 24 and invite me to meet and discuss the concert. We made an appointment to meet at his hotel following dinner on May 30 (I think it was at the Landis Hotel in Yadu). I thought we would meet in the lobby, but when we arrived at the hotel, he said he would go directly to his room, and following going upstairs, He handed me a glass of red wine and motioned me to sit on the sofa and chat and drink together. He mentioned how beautiful I looked in a gown at the Golden Melody Awards, and said, “You look sexy in a bikini (that’s when I realized he’d seen all my photos on Facebook!)” and added: “You have big breasts! What kind of cup are you?” At the same time, he compared the shape of the cup with his hands, and said, “Can I touch it?” At the same time, the gesture almost touched my chest. At that time, I was already frightened. He subconsciously pushed his hand away and said, “Teacher, please don’t do this.”

Later, he changed his tone and said: “You look very nervous, do you want to give you a massage?” He lifted my calf onto his leg and started to press. At this time, I was so frightened that I didn’t know how to express or leave , can only try to retract the foot forcefully. Just when I thought he knew I was freaking out, he switched gears and started leaning in close to my body and rubbing my back, I was so uncomfortable trying to move my body forward. I made an excuse to say I was going to the bathroom, and at the same time sent a text message to my pianist friend. At that time, I was regarding to cry. I really didn’t know how to express it. I didn’t want him to touch me like this. I thought my attitude had changed. Let him know that I don’t want to, because I am really uncomfortable and want to go home, but I don’t know how to speak.
When I recalled this unbearable memory once more, I hated myself very much. Why didn’t I stop him loudly at that time and get up to leave? Although I was extremely uncomfortable at the moment, the respect and admiration for the master/senior made me not know how to speak, how to Leaving politely… After returning to the sofa, perhaps taking advantage of his drunkenness, he laid his body on my lap and stroked my thigh at the same time. At this time, I finally collapsed, and my instinct was that if my mother called now, I would have a reason to escape here. I picked up the mobile phone once more and asked my friend to call me and pretend to be my mother. After answering the phone, I Immediately jumped up, said to him: “I’m sorry, teacher, I have to leave first because of some situation at home”, and immediately rushed out of the room. After going downstairs, I trembled all over and started to cry. Suddenly, shock, shame, shame, and fear came to my heart. When I got home and told my mother regarding this incident, I mightn’t fall asleep all night, kept waking up crying, and doubted myself, what did I do wrong? Let the other party think it’s okay to treat me like this?
After many years, every time I learn regarding his whereregardings or performance information, I feel extremely complicated. I hope that I will never see him once more in my life. I am even more worried that if I mention this to others, I am worried regarding how others will judge me. I also worry regarding whether it will affect me. The way in the music circle?
Now I find that 7 years following my incident, a female pianist in New York has suffered a similar thing. If I don’t come forward to speak out regarding my painful experience at this time, there may be people who have experienced the same thing as me If you dare not speak out because you are afraid, how many victims will there be in the future? I also heard that there are other victims. I hope you can also stand up and be brave with us! I also hope that Lin can sincerely face the mistakes he made, instead of entrusting a lawyer to issue a statement at the first time, I hope we can all shut up!
