In 1976, a girl named Tai Lihua was born in Yichang, Hubei. She was born in an ordinary family, and her parents poured all their love into her. However, fate played a cruel joke when she was two years old.
That year, Tai Lihua suffered from measles and a high fever that did not go away, and the doctor really had no choice but to inject her with a large amount of streptomycin. Although the high fever subsided, Tai Lihua lost her hearing and speech skills forever.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to a young life.
In her childhood, Tai Lihua often watched other children play, and that kind of longing and helplessness could not be concealed. And some of her peers even ridiculed her for not hearing and mistakenly thought that she was playing with her, which made her parents feel like knives, and in order to protect their daughter, they were even reluctant to take her out again.
Tai Lihua didn't see a new turn until she entered the school for the deaf and dumb, where she felt the warmth of not being treated as an alien for the first time. It was here that she met a music lesson that would change her life.
Teachers at the school for the deaf teach students how to feel music in innovative ways, such as having students tap the ground hard and feel the rhythm of sound through the vibrations of the ground. When Tai Lihua "heard" the music in this way, her eyes lit up.
It was the first time she truly experienced the magic of music, just as shocking as Helen · Keller's first understanding of the concept of "water."
Since that moment, Tai Lihua has been a bridge to the world through dance. She practiced with great perseverance, and even though she couldn't hear the music, she also developed muscle memory through repeated practice.
She continued to consult with her dance teacher, refining again and again, until every movement was silky and smooth, Tai Lihua firmly believed that through dance, she could tell her own story and express her emotions to the world.
In this silent world, Tai Lihua found her own voice, and her dream of dancing began.
Tai Lihua's efforts were not in vain, and with her extraordinary perseverance and talent, she successfully entered the Wuhan Song and Dance Troupe and began her professional dance career. However, the turning point that really changed her fate was when she met her Bole here, Yang Liping.
Because of a chance, Tai Lihua practiced Yang Liping's masterpiece "Spirit of the Sparrow" on the stage, never thought that her performance would make Yang Liping greatly admired, and when she learned that Tai Lihua was still a deaf and mute, Yang Liping was even more surprised.
She believes that if Tai Lihua can hear music, her dancing attainments will definitely go to the next level, and Yang Liping decided to personally guide Tai Lihua with the heart of cherishing and loving talents.
Under Yang Liping's strict training, Tai Lihua's dancing skills have improved rapidly, absorbing every dance movement and expression detail like a sponge. Even when she can't hear music, she can grasp the rhythm by feeling the vibrations of the ground and observing the movements of others.
At the age of 16, Tai Lihua ushered in an important turning point in her life, she received an invitation to perform at the Teatro alla Scala in Italy, an honor only found by the world's top dancers.
