Tai Lihua: The deaf and dumb dancer of the thousand-armed Guanyin, the rich have been chasing for eight years
In the 2005 Spring Festival Gala, "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" quickly won warm applause and applause from the audience with its uniform movements, superb acting skills and beautiful faces of the performers.
The success of this dance has made people curious about the lead dancer Tai Lihua, how did she do it? Today, we're going to take a closer look at the poignant story behind the lead dancer.
A sudden illness makes her world silent. Tai Lihua, born in 1976 in an ordinary family in Yichang, Hubei Province, filled her parents with joy when her daughter arrived.
However, when she was two years old, her parents took her to a small clinic due to a high fever of measles**. The medical conditions of the clinic are very limited, and the doctor only gave Tai Lihua ** streptomycin injection after a simple examination.
This needle has made Tai Lihua's life trajectory change dramatically. After recovering from her illness, she often felt pain in her ears, but she had no idea how this would affect her life.
It wasn't until she went to kindergarten and noticed that the teacher was talking to the children and she couldn't hear the sound that she began to truly realize her situation.
Tai Lihua told her parents that she couldn't hear the teacher's words, but when her parents called her name, there was no response, realizing that her daughter had a hearing problem, and took her around to seek medical treatment but was told that she couldn't hear the loss.
Since then, Tai Lihua's world has been surrounded by silence. However, a dance performance by Yang Liping made her discover new possibilities, and she became attached to dance and began a dance career in the silent world.
Although accepting the reality that their daughter is deaf, her parents still send her to a school for the deaf. There, she felt the warmth of a large family and realized for the first time that body movements can convey emotions and thoughts.
During a TV dance performance, Yang Liping's performance fascinated Tai Lihua. The teacher discovered her unique passion for dance and suggested that she start learning. When she breaks off, she imitates dance moves on TV.
Perhaps a natural talent, her dancing is extremely expressive. A few years later, she joined the Disabled Art Troupe with her excellent dancing skills and became famous for her "Spirit of the Sparrow" dance, becoming the youngest disabled dancer.
The leading dancer of "Thousand Hands Guanyin" Tai Lihua became popular because of the Spring Festival Gala, attracting Malaysian tycoons to chase after him for 8 years. Although Tai Lihua refused because she couldn't hear her, the rich man's pursuit of her talent never stopped.
In the end, Tai Lihua could only express that she was deaf and mute through writing, but the rich man did not back down because of this, but became more determined in his pursuit of her. "
When Tai Lihua confessed about her marital status, the rich were forced to withdraw from her life, and for eight years, she remained calm, both in terms of wealth and materialism. She formed a family with a polytechnic man, and their encounter may have been providential.
One day, Tai Lihua went to visit the teacher's house, and after turning around, she didn't find the teacher, but she was attracted by a boy downstairs from the teacher's house. In the end, they got their wish together, and after marriage, Tai Lihua gave birth to a son, and the family of three was happy.
Now that Tai Lihua has entered middle age, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to perform on stage, and more energy is devoted to behind-the-scenes work. Now she is the head of the China Disabled Persons Art Troupe, and is committed to cultivating more disabled artistic talents on the stage.
