That year, Zhang Jigang came to Shanxi Yungang Grottoes to collect style. The moment he opened the door of the thousand-year-old temple, he couldn't help but gasp - the scene in front of him was too spectacular, tens of thousands of grottoes carved out of the rock walls, towering; The splendor and mystery of the world of Buddhism are vividly visible.

Zhang Jigang walked slowly along the stone steps, looked up inadvertently, and saw the famous Yungang Buddha, as well as the golden stone carvings in the Buddha shrine. But what shocked Zhang Jigang the most was the stone statue of Guanyin with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. The Guanyin is gentle and solemn, and the thousand hands blooming behind it are like peacocks opening the screen, vividly presented in front of you. For a while, Zhang Jigang only felt that the heavens and the earth had changed color - this divine statue with oriental connotations was simply the embodiment of the great beauty of the world. In addition to this shock, an idea emerged in Zhang Jigang's heart: I want to choreograph a dance for this wonderful thousand-armed angel, worthy of her divinity and beauty. 
So, a seed of dance creation fell into Zhang Jigang's heart at that moment. What he didn't expect was that a few years later, this seed would take root and sprout, and eventually bloom into a wonderful flower in the Chinese art world - a wonderful flower of "perfect art" that jumped out from an "imperfect" body. In 1999, Zhang Jigang received a news that made him overjoyed: the China Disabled Persons Art Troupe invited him to choreograph a new dance for a special dance team! For Zhang, this is simply the perfect opportunity to show off his skills in front of his like-minded colleagues. Thinking of his relentless pursuit of "perfection" over the years, he immediately agreed. 
However, when Zhang Jigang actually saw these 12 "special artists", he couldn't help but be shocked - it turned out to be a group of deaf and dumb disabled people who couldn't hear and couldn't speak, and they were his new "students"!For the first time, what flashed in Zhang Jigang's mind was the difficult training scene. Just when Zhang Jigang hesitated, a girl timidly walked up to him with a notebook, scribbled a few times on the notebook, and then held it up in front of him. It reads, "Teacher, I can dance very well, you can teach me!" Just a few words, but it set off a storm in Zhang Jigang's heart. Only then did he suddenly realize that there were not only dancers in front of him, but also disabled people; They have the same yearning for beauty as ordinary people, and the same desire to express themselves through dance. 
So, Zhang Jigang gently hugged the girl in front of him: Child, I'll teach you! From now on, you will be my proudest students! Faced with a group of deaf and mute students, Zhang Jigang's first problem to solve was - how should they hear? It's a lifeline for a dance. After thinking about it, Zhang Jigang decided to let the girls' faces close to the stereo and feel the rhythm of ** and the ups and downs of the phrases with their bodies. "Teacher, I feel it! A girl patted Zhang Jigang excitedly, as if she had discovered a new world. Zhang Jigang was sincerely happy for them, and at the same time relieved. 
Next, it's time to train body language and details. Zhang Jigang's original choreographed dance for ordinary people is difficult to transplant to the disabled. Not to mention, Zhang Jigang's ultimate pursuit of perfection is unimaginable to ordinary people. In order to ensure that the details of the dance were in place, Zhang Jigang even drew all the wrong marks on the girls' hands; The girl who was the most drawn saw the dense colored pens in her hand and ran away with red eyes. Zhang Jigang patted her on the shoulder and said word for word: "This is the pain of growing up, and you will thank it later." The intense training continued day by day, and the girls' bodies became more sensitive, and the dances became more precise and fluid. Even if there is a slight mistake, she will blame herself so much that she can't sleep. 
They often help each other to correct their mistakes, and positivity is the norm for them. After 5 years of training, this particular dance troupe has begun to take shape and is beginning to make an international presence with impressive results. In the 2005 Lunar New Year, Zhang Jigang received the ** from the production team of the Spring Festival Gala, and they hoped that "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" could be performed at the Spring Festival Gala. However, unlike the Paralympics, the Spring Festival Gala has strict requirements for the length and number of people. Faced with only one month to prepare, Zhang Jigang had to revise the choreography again and significantly increase the number of dancers. "It's going to be a long month, and I'm sure you will! With the encouragement of their teachers, the students gave up their annual leave early and resumed their high-intensity training. 
It was as if time stood still at this moment, and everyone threw themselves into the creation wholeheartedly, leaving behind the joys and troubles of the outside world. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the dance was finally finalized, and the students performed brilliantly in the rehearsal, which won unanimous praise from the director team. Zhang Jigang knows that they deserve to dedicate the most beautiful dance to the audience on the occasion of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. The shocking performance of the Spring Festival Gala in 2005 made "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" famous in one fell swoop. In the following days, Zhang Jigang received many letters from parents of people with disabilities. Many of them saw the pride and happiness in their children's eyes for the first time. "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" has given us the courage to live, you are angels! Many people with disabilities say this from the bottom of their hearts. 
The opening of the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games is imminent, and director Zhang Yimou once again put "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" in the final performance. When the silver dress danced in the spotlight again, the audience burst into applause. After the performance, Zhang Jigang came backstage and found many young dancers wiping tears. It turned out that they all saw the affectionate gaze of the audience, and their hearts were shocked. "Teacher, do we bring hope to everyone? A little girl asked softly. This dance, known as the "Chinese Miracle", has become a legend after more than 10 years of accumulation and sublimation. Whenever "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" appears in people's sights, it can always bring deep shock and moving. 
This dance jumps the tenacious and confident hearts of the disabled; And Zhang Jigang has also completely realized the persistent pursuit of perfect art in this process. When asked about his future plans, Zhang Jigang, with a happy smile on his face, replied: "I will continue to encourage students to create more works that shock the world." Because this is the power of art, it can change destiny and make the impossible possible.
