Chinese police have arrested a man on suspicion of prostitution in a residential area in Beijing.
This is Lee Windy, 39 years old, called the 'piano prince' in China.
In 2000, at the age of 18, Lee Windy became the youngest ever winner of the world-famous Chopin Competition.
As a pianist representing China, he was also listed in 'Top 10 Young Leaders of China', and has recently appeared in various TV programs.

In 2015, I had a concert in Korea, and at the time, I was criticized for making mistakes and insincere attitude.
The news of Lee Windy's arrest was viewed 3 billion times on Weibo, a Chinese social media site, as it was so popular that she appeared on Chinese state-run CCTV's Spring Festival program as a regular.
Chinese media criticized them all, saying that celebrities should be cleaner.

The entertainment program in which Lee Windy appeared was immediately removed from online, and the China Musicians Association canceled her membership.
Li Wendi's alma mater, Sichuan Music Academy, has removed a sign bearing his name.
There is also a forecast that the cultural 'headwind movement', which is taking place ahead of President Xi Jinping's third coming to power next year, will spread further with this incident.
