Although Fu Qi studied engineering, he had a strong interest in literature and music. He was a film fan and watched many Chinese and foreign films. After watching "a spring" produced by Hong Kong Great Wall company, Fu Qi is eager to see the main actors Xia Meng, Shi Hui, Chen JUANJUAN and ordinary. So one night in mid July 1952, he and a friend came to visit the studio of Great Wall company. At that time, the Great Wall company was shooting the ancient costume film "Nie Hai Hua". Coincidentally, the actors Fu Qi wanted to see were all present. He saw them in person and left late at night.

Before long, Fu Qi played a young musician in little dancer. In order to make a good shot of playing drums in the film, he asked a "king of drums" to teach him how to play drums. It's so hot that everyone else goes swimming. Fu Qi is the only one who stays at home to learn how to play drums. He can't do without drumming when he is eating or talking with friends. After more than a month, the technique gradually became more and more skillful, and the rhythm of the drum can be heard.
