He also trained a large number of well-known musicians, making outstanding contributions to the development of China's music industry.
In order to inherit and carry forward the noble spirit and personality charm of Mr. Ding Shande's "love for the motherland and concern for his hometown," and his noble character and artistic pursuit of "cultivating people with morality and working hard," and to accelerate the construction of a cultural strong city and enhance the city's soft power, the "Kunshan Ding Shande Chorus" was established according to the "Ding Shande Music Culture Inheritance Plan."
