San Francisco street musician – ehru player Xuan

Xuan plays the ehru. A note on his side reads that he was also filmed in Will Smith’s 2006 film The Pursuit of Happyness. Well the story goes like this. Xuan did play a musical note on the traditional chinese ehru, when he was asked to play one during the filming of The Pursuit of Happyness. However, the scene was altered during the final cut, since the tune that Xuan played had a prior copyright!
