Pu Zhu's father, Bernhard Rosenbaum, is a violinist in the Royal Danish Church, and his mother, Frederikke Rosenbaum, is a pianist in the church. When Pu Zhu was 3 years old, she had already learned piano from her mother. Before long, he was found to be a child prodigy. Because of his 1 performance at the age of 8, he won a scholarship and entered the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music. He's in Oliver Kraus, Victor Skye? He studied under the guidance of famous teachers such as Le, Frederic Lamond and Egon Petrie.

1926 Park Zhu held his first concert in the geek concert hall in Denmark. After several years as a classical piano player, he began to perform in the form of new jokes and piano music. He performed in this new form for the first time in 1933. In the same year, he married Elsee chilton, an American. After marriage, Puzhu began to tour Europe and entertain the public with anti-Nazi jokes. His behavior caught Chytra's attention. Soon, Chytra listed the outspoken Jew as an enemy of his native Germany.

When Nazi Germany attacked Denmark in World War II, Puzhu was performing in Sweden and successfully fled to Finland. Because his wife is an American, he successfully left Europe and fled to the United States on the passenger ship "American Army". 1940 When he arrived in the United States on August 28th, he had only $20 left, of which $3 was used to pay US customs duties. Knowing that his mother was dying, Pu Zhu pretended to be a sailor and risked his life to go back to Denmark to visit his mother.

Although he still knew nothing about English after arriving in the United States, Puzhu was able to cater to his American audience soon because he had been studying by watching movies. 194 1 year, he appeared on the radio program in Rudy Vallee under the stage name victor borge, and then bing crosby hired him in the name of his Kraft Concert Hall.

Since then, his career has begun. 1942 Puzhu won the Best New Radio Performer Award. Soon many movie stars like Fran Sinatra invited him to make a movie. 1946 when he had the opportunity to host Victor Bogsao on NBC, he took the opportunity to practice acting in front of TV. These skills include repeating a piece he wants to play on the piano, but being harassed by this and that every time, or commenting on the audience present, or discussing the advantages and disadvantages of Chopin's "Dog Waltz" (that is, "One Minute Waltz") as an egg boiling timer.

One of his famous skills is "punctuation pronunciation" He likes to read punctuation marks as imitations when reading stories.

Another famous trick of Puzhu is his "expansive" language. He added 1 to some English words that sounded like English numbers. For example, he changed "inflate" to "inflnine" (because "ate" is pronounced the same as "8", plus 1) and changed "befive" to.

On TV, Park Bamboo makes full use of visual and action elements to achieve the best results. He will pop up a song that sounds strange, and his expression will become more and more confused. After the music is inverted, he will pop up the original music and then give the audience a happy and satisfied smile. Whenever his energetic piano performance makes him fall off the piano stool, he will open the stool cover, take out a car seat belt and tie himself to the stool. Is it safer to do this?

He likes to interact with the audience. For example, when he finds that the audience sitting in the front row is interested in interacting with him, he will ask, "Do you like piano music? If he says he likes it, Pu Zhu will take down the music on the piano and give it to him, saying, "This is yours. When the audience finished laughing, he would tell him, "Sheng Hui 1 950 cents. (or the price of music at that time. )

Puzhu 1948 was the guest of Ed Sullivan's toast reception. In the same year, he became an American citizen. 10.2, he began to stage his musical comedy in new york Golden Theatre.

During his tour, he worked with world-famous orchestras such as New York Philharmonic and London Philharmonic Orchestra. Park Zhu is very modest. When he accepted the invitation of the Royal Danish Symphony Orchestra at 1992, he felt extremely honored as the conductor of the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen.

Baozhu helped set up many trust funds, including "Thanks to Scandinavian Fund". This fund is for those who helped Jews escape from the Nazis. 1999, Park Chu accepted the Kennedy Center Honorary Award awarded to him by the Kennedy Center.
