In 2003, 27-year-old Tai Lihua rejected the marriage proposal of a wealthy foreign businessman, turned around and married an ordinary guy, two years later, she danced on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and became famous, and the dance "Thousand Hands Guanyin" led by her amazed everyone, and her dignified and beautiful appearance made countless audiences feel sorry:
How can such a beautiful girl be a deaf and dumb person?”
In fact, Tai Lihua's disability is not born, but acquired, in a world where applause cannot be heard, she fought tenaciously and completed a gorgeous transformation.
It's just that after becoming famous, Tai Lihua "disappeared", and it is difficult to see her on the stage again
If a deaf-mute person marries a normal person, what changes will happen to her life?
In 1976, an ordinary family in Yichang, Hubei Province, ushered in a baby girl, the man carefully held the child in his arms, looked up and down, and the child's mother asked a little weakly
Who is the child like?Are you pretty?”
The man replied with a smile
It doesn't matter if you're beautiful or not, as long as your mother and daughter are safe and the children can grow up safely, I'm very content. ”
This newborn child is Tai Lihua.
Tai Lihua's father works in the shipyard and is an ordinary worker, and her mother works as an accountant in a small company and is a small clerk.
They are also very fond of Tai Lihua, and they teach her how to call her parents whenever they have time, and Tai Lihua is also very smart, when she is more than a year old, she can say some simple words very clearly, and she speaks much earlier than children of the same age.
But when Tai Lihua was two years old, a high fever completely changed her fate.
Tai Lihua had a high fever for two or three days in a row, her parents panicked, and hurriedly carried her to the hospital, and after a brief inquiry by the doctor, he gave her an injection, and the miraculous thing is that it didn't take long for Tai Lihua's fever to subside, and her parents went home happily.
It was from this time that Tai Lihua began to complain that her ears hurt, but she was too young to express herself clearly, and her parents didn't take it seriously, so Tai Lihua's illness was delayed.
One day, a group of children were playing outside, and when the teacher called them back to the classroom, all the children went back, only Tai Lihua was still playing by herself, no matter how the teacher shouted, she didn't look back.
When the parents learned about this situation, they didn't believe it, so they turned off the lights at night and then spoke to Tai Lihua, but Tai Lihua didn't have any reaction.
At this time, the parents were completely panicked, and rushed to the hospital with Tai Lihua the next day, and the final examination results were unacceptable to them, Tai Lihua was really deaf, and the reason for the deafness was that when Tai Lihua had a high fever, the doctor gave her streptomycin.
The hearing damage is irreversible, although the doctor said it very clearly, Tai Lihua's parents were still lucky, they took Tai Lihua to run all over China, all the big hospitals went, but the result was the same.
What worries her parents even more is that Tai Lihua, who is still young, didn't realize that she couldn't hear at all, she still played happily every day as before, rolling in her father's arms.
In that era of medical scarcity, although there were many examples like Tai Lihua, they never thought that tragedy would happen to their children.
Tai Lihua first realized that she was different from other children when she was five or six years old.
At that time, the children in the kindergarten were playing a game called "listening to the sound and distinguishing the sound", and the other children were playing and laughing, and they were never tired of it, but when it was Tai Lihua's turn, Tai Lihua did not have any reaction, her world was quiet, she could only open her eyes in fear, watching the people around her point at her.
After returning home, Tai Lihua vaguely expressed to her parents what was wrong with her, and her father couldn't bear to make her sad, so he told her:
You can't hear from a very young age. ”
Tai Lihua realized at this time that her world was different from others.
In a blink of an eye, Tai Lihua reached the age of elementary school, but only a week later, the teacher asked her parents to take her back:
We really can't teach this child, even in the first row, she can't hear anything. ”
After going home, Tai Lihua became a stuffy gourd, moving a bench every day, sitting at the door of the house to watch other children carrying schoolbags to and from school, some children are more naughty, after finding Tai Lihua, they will pick up a pebble and throw it at her, Tai Lihua cried sadly, and wanted to tell her parents her grievances, but she said she couldn't say it, and her parents saw this kind of scene, and their hearts were broken.
In the end, the husband and wife discussed and sent Tai Lihua to a school for the deaf and dumb to study, where they were all children like Tai Lihua, they didn't expect this to change anything, they just hoped that Tai Lihua could spend a happy and happy childhood.
Facts have proved that the parents' decision was correct, and a vocal rhythm class in the deaf and dumb school completely changed Tai Lihua's perception of the world.
The so-called vocal rhythm class is that the teacher plays the piano while beating the drum vigorously, so that the sound can be as loud as possible, so big that people standing on the floor can clearly feel the vibration of the floor, it is this rhythmic vibration that makes Tai Lihua realize that it turns out that this is the sound, this is the **, so wonderful.
Through the vocal rhythm class, Tai Lihua fell in love with **, and her favorite thing to do is to stick the radio horn on her face, and then feel the vibration of the horn.
While she likes **, she also likes dance, as long as there are ** dance programs on TV, Tai Lihua will keep her eyes on the TV, without blinking her eyelids, although she can't hear it or sing it, but she has sound limbs and can dance.
Gradually, her father also found out that Tai Lihua likes to dance, so he bought her a pair of dancing shoes, the day she received the gift, Tai Lihua jumped and jumped on the bed with her dancing shoes, and wore them on her feet to show off to her parents, her parents were very relieved to see this, Tai Lihua finally found something that could resonate with her in her silent world, that is, dance.
Everything is indeed as her parents thought, in the days to come, dance has become the most important thing in Tai Lihua's life, she dances to feel the sound and the existence of **.
Learning to dance Xi is not an easy task, and it is even more difficult for Tai Lihua, because she can't hear the beat, she often dances and finds that she dances differently from others, and in a panic, she falls down again and again, and stands up again and again.
When her mother found that she was bruised and purple, she shed distressed tears and wanted to stop her from continuing her studies, but her father stopped her mother and told her:
She is different from normal children, she can only endure more hardships in order to have a chance to fight for a future, let's not stop her. ”
His father's tone was firm, but in private, he cried more than his mother.
In 1991, Tai Lihua should go to middle school, but Yichang did not have a school for the deaf and dumb at this stage, and if she wanted to continue her Xi, she could only go to Wuhan.
Looking at Tai Lihua, who was only 15 years old, her parents were ruthless and sent her to Wuhan, when her parents left, Tai Lihua cried and chased them, they took out a pen and paper and wrote a sentence to Tai Lihua:
Only by staying here, your future will have more possibilities, we will go back to earn your tuition, and your parents will always be your strongest backing. ”
Tai Lihua glanced at her parents, I don't know when it started, her parents already had white hair, hidden in the middle of the black hair, which looked particularly abrupt.
In school, Tai Lihua worked very hard, she relied on her dance expertise, many times on the stage, in a performance, she was favored by a teacher of the China Disabled Persons Art Troupe, so she recommended her to the art troupe.
However, although Tai Lihua has learned some dances, but she is not a professional, after she performed a dance in the art troupe, the teachers of the art troupe shook their heads, many of her movements were not standardized, and in the end, Tai Lihua was left alone in the huge rehearsal hall, and she was left here.
After Tai Lihua cried, she found that crying could not solve the problem, nor would it attract the sympathy of others, so she took this opportunity to Xi learn hard with the dance teacher in the art troupe, and in just one year, she wore out several pairs of dancing shoes, but her progress is also obvious to all.
In 1992, the "Borderless Civilization Art Festival" was held in Italy, and everyone who came to participate was a star in the dance world.
As the only disabled person, Tai Lihua even appeared on the stage of La Scala Theater and performed the dance "Dunhuang Painted Sculptures" with Chinese characteristics, and the audience expressed their recognition and admiration for her with the warmest applause.
After achieving some results, Tai Lihua is not complacent, but more strict with herself, her favorite dancer is Yang Liping, who is very yearning for her peacock dance, in order to learn this dance, she has been injured many times.
Until one day, the famous choreographer Zhang Jigang saw Tai Lihua dancing "The Spirit of the Sparrow", so he specially called Yang Liping **:
I see a kid dancing with you again, could you please come over and give me some guidance. ”
After Yang Liping watched Tai Lihua's performance, she was very shocked, and she sincerely praised her and said:
If I can't hear like you, then I don't dance as well as you. ”
In 2000, 24-year-old Tai Lihua performed the light and passionate "Spirit of the Sparrow" in the world's top art palace, Carnegie Hall in New York, and her stills, which are also the only Chinese stills, were permanently hung in the ** hall, and the embassies of 43 countries have firmly remembered her name.
While succeeding in her career, Tai Lihua also met love twice.
In 1993, when she was performing in Malaysia, she met a wealthy businessman from Kuala Lumpur who was young and wealthy, and the performance was hosted by this wealthy businessman.
He fell in love with Tai Lihua at first sight, Tai Lihua performed here for 7 days, and he accompanied him for 7 days, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and all aspects were arranged by him personally.
Tai Lihua was in love at this time, it was impossible to say that she was completely unmoved, just when she wanted to agree to the other party's pursuit, her parents' reminder made her instantly come back to her senses.
When facing this wealthy businessman again, Tai Lihua told him very soberly:
I am a deaf and mute person, and we are not in the right household, we are not from the same world at all, besides, I love my hometown, and I will not marry abroad. ”
But what Tai Lihua didn't expect was that the rich businessman did not give up because of this, and waited for her for eight years, until she was about to get married, the rich businessman confessed to her.
It's a pity that 8 years can change a lot of things, during this period, Tai Lihua met a guy named Li Chun, although he is just an ordinary person, but he has won Tai Lihua's recognition with kindness.
At that time, Tai Lihua was going to live at her aunt's house, but her aunt happened to be not at home, so Tai Lihua dragged a big suitcase and walked around the corridor.
Li Chun, who was watching TV at home, did not close the door, and when he heard the movement outside, he found Tai Lihua, Li Chun's first impression of Tai Lihua was two words, that is, beautiful.
Li Chun asked Tai Lihua if she needed help, Tai Lihua smiled, then took out the pen and paper she had with her, and wrote down her own questions, Li Chun only understood at this time, it turned out that this girl with beautiful appearance and clean temperament was a deaf and dumb person.
He enthusiastically invited Tai Lihua to his home and asked her to wait here for her aunt to come back, and the two chatted for 6 hours through text, from 12 noon to 6 pm, and that night, Li Chun had insomnia.
Later, Li Chun took the initiative to pursue Tai Lihua, for this reason, he also deliberately went to learn Xi sign language, although he is just an ordinary person, but he is also a graduate of a famous university, his sincerity, finally moved Tai Lihua.
In 2003, Tai Lihua agreed to Li Chun's marriage proposal, married him, and gave birth to a son after marriage.
After getting married, Li Chun not only took care of Tai Lihua in every detail, but also fully supported her career, he believes that there are too many ordinary people like himself, but there is only one special dancer like Tai Lihua.
With the support of Li Chun, Tai Lihua performed the dance "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" at the 2004 Athens Paralympics, and the following year, she took her partner to perform this dance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and it became popular overnight.
After becoming popular, Tai Lihua's married life is also happier, because Li Chun's family also recognizes her more and more, which is very important to her.
But to the disappointment of the audience, Tai Lihua has "disappeared" since she became popular in 2005, and it is difficult to see her performance again.
Some people say that Tai Lihua chose to return to the family after having children and became a good wife and mother, but some people say that after Tai Lihua became famous, she began to sit on the empty mountain and live by her previous fame.
But these are not facts, the fact is that after Tai Lihua became famous, she focused on more important things, she moved behind the scenes, led her partners to visit more than 60 countries, and also used the income from the performance to do charity, donated nearly 3 million to the Sichuan ** disaster area, and donated 400,000 US dollars to international charity.
She has used her deeds and experience to help countless deaf children, and now that technology is becoming more and more developed, many children can live like normal people after being trained and trained.
Not only that, she also spoke up for all disabled people, combined with the problem of difficulty in going to school when she was a child, she called for the recruitment of special education in ordinary schools, so that children with disabilities can also enjoy normal education.
Tai Lihua can get to this day, completely inseparable from the support of her parents and husband, their love is the driving force for Tai Lihua to move forward, she set herself as a benchmark, turning this small love into big love.
The things Tai Lihua is doing now have far more than the meaning of dancing, and her existence has made many children like her see hope for the future.
I wish Tai Lihua better and better in the future, because she is like a lamp, the brighter she is, the more she can help others and illuminate the way forward.
