At the age of 2, she was deaf due to streptomycin injection, and at the age of 29, she successfully appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and became famous overnight with "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands".
The stills of her performance were at that timeThe only oneIt is hung in the worldA temple of the artsChinese stills from Carnegie ** Hall.
A wealthy Malaysian businessman fell in love with her at first sight, and waited for her for 8 years, but she turned around and married a poor boy, does she regret it now?
In the early winter of 1976, with a loud baby cry, Tai Lihua was born, she was not only beautiful and cute, but also a healthy child.
Tai Lihua spoke very early, when she was 1 year old, she would shout "Mom and Dad" in her immature voice, every time she shouted so crisply, her parents felt that their hearts were going to melt.
Tai Lihua, who just went to the nursery, is very lively, she often reminds her classmates like a tabloid clerk when she gets out of school: "xx's father is here, which mother is here", the nursery school teachers and the uncles and aunts in the yard like her very much, and praise her when they see her.
Good luck did not favor her, and when she was 2 years old, she had an illness, which was treated with streptomycin**, which cured her illness, but also brought her a lifelong silence.
At first, there was nothing wrong with it, the parents just found out that she started to make trouble at night, complaining that her ears hurt, they thought it was a nonsense that the child didn't want to sleep at night, and they didn't care.
It wasn't until the aunt at the nursery told her father: "The child may have a hearing problem, and she doesn't respond when she calls her from behind while playing games." ”
The father's first reaction was that he didn't want to believe it, his daughter could speak and communicate, how could it be hearing-impaired?
But the teacher's words did choke in his throat like a thorn, so the father turned off the light at night and called her name, finding that she did not react in the slightest.
My father was so heartbroken that he didn't sleep all night, thinking over and over: "She is still so young, and she is not born, and she will be cured by smashing pots and selling iron." ”
So with the determination to cure her, the parents went to all the famous hospitals in the country, hoping to save their daughter and not let her hear for the rest of her life.
However, the result of visiting famous doctors was only one sentence: "This disease cannot be cured abroad, not to mention at home." ”
Her parents were disillusioned and returned home with the ignorant Tai Lihua, who was still young and did not realize that her world had been turned upside down.
The first time she noticed her difference was when she played a game of identifying and listening with the other children in the yard, and the other children were very happy.
But when her eyes were blindfolded with strips of cloth, suddenly the world became so quiet, she didn't know what she had to do, she only felt a lot of hands touching her, she didn't understand what was happening, she just wanted to get out of here quickly.
In order not to make her more sad, her parents told her that she was different from other children after birth, and she couldn't hear it after that.
Since then, Tai Lihua rarely goes out to play, and when she lost her hearing at the age of 2, she could not continue to learn to speak, so her parents had to send her to a school for the deaf and dumb.
The loss of hearing did not make her life silent, and here she found the most wonderful ** in the world.
In the first rhythm class, the teacher played the piano and beat the elephant foot drum, and transmitted the rhythm to the hearts of the children through the wooden floor.
The humming vibration of the wooden floor hit her soul, and she seemed to "hear" the beautiful sound of the piano, and unconsciously began to dance her body.
Since then, she has found a new direction in life.
After returning home, she didn't want to increase the burden on her family, so she insisted on learning to dance with TV every day.
One day her father came back from a business trip, handed her a gift, and said, "Look at what Dad bought for you."
She received the hand, and opened it in a hurry, and found that it was a pair of white dancing shoes, she couldn't wait to put them on and jump around on the bed, and then quickly took them off, for fear of getting the shoes dirty.
These ordinary white dancing shoes changed her life.
After graduating from primary school, at the age of 15, she went to Wuhan Deaf Middle School to continue learning dance, but she couldn't hear the rhythm and had a hard time learning to dance.
She was the first to come and the last to leave the classroom, and she seemed to be tireless, correcting every movement over and over again, day after day.
Hard work will always pay off, and she is not afraid of hardship, and after a year, she finally ushered in the east wind that made her smooth sailing.
When she performed at school, the leaders of the China Disabled People's Art Troupe found that this girl was so pure and talented in dance, so they selected her to join the troupe.
In 1992, 16-year-old Tai Lihua was brought to Italy to participateThe world's three major art palacesOne of the Teatro alla Scala, organized by "Art Without Borders".
The audience was shocked by the "Dunhuang Painted Sculptures" she participated in, and the director of the performance praised her: "The dance is so amazing, and the people who perform this dance are simply it."Messenger of beauty and humanity
This dance is just the beginning of her dancing career, and from then on, her world will always be full of beautiful melodies.
In 2000, the troupe was going to be inA world-class art center- Carnegie ** Hall performance preparation program, so Tai Lihua was arranged to complete "Spirit of the Sparrow", Yang Liping's famous work.
The Spirit of the Sparrow has more than 700 beats, and it is difficult for professional dancers to complete it, not to mention that she can't listen.
But she is very ruthless to herself, in order to practice this dance well, she freezes one movement at a time, and she can't lift her arms when she goes back every night, just to form muscle memory for herself.
In the scene of the peacock playing in the water, she knelt on the ground for a long time, and her knees were full of bruises and scars, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't touch it.
Such ruthlessness made her perform the song "Spirit of the Sparrow", becomingThe only oneChinese stills hanging in Carnegie ** Hall.
In addition to the applause that this dance brought her, it also brought Yang Liping's attention, Yang Liping lamented that she was a hearing-impaired person who could perform "Spirit of the Sparrow" so perfectly, and decided to recommend her to choreographer Yang Jigang, hoping that she could get more opportunities.
So, together with 11 girls and 9 boys, she began to practice hard every day, and in order to get a better fit, they had to make sure that everyone had almost the same weight shape.
There is always a reward for paying, in 2004, Tai Lihua led the dance of "Thousand Hands Guanyin" on the Paralympics, and then was invited to participate in the 05 Spring Festival Gala, the spectacular dance, like the lotus-like "Thousand Hands Guanyin", people are still unforgettable.
After that, Tai Lihua was also known for her painful past and unwilling to give up, and was named a moving Chinese character in 2005.
In her career, she has crossed the mountain peak, stood on the top of the mountain, and love also embraced her with the mountain wind.
At the age of 17, when she performed in Malaysia, she received a courtship from a local rich boy, and after the performance of "Spirit of the Sparrow", he went directly to the backstage and confessed to her with roses in his hand.
But at that time, Tai Lihua felt that this foreign man might not be very mature and stable, and she wanted to live in the motherland, so she rejected the courtship of the rich businessman.
She thought that when she returned to China, the rich boy would give up, but she didn't expect that when she came to perform again 8 years later, this man came and sat under the stage to watch the whole performance.
After the performance, Tai Lihua told him that he already had a boyfriend, don't wait for her, and the rich businessman who had been waiting for 8 years would give up.
So, what kind of man took Tai Lihua's heart?
November 11, 1995 is the clearest day in Li Chun's memory.
On that bright afternoon, Li Chunzheng was watching TV comfortably, and saw a beautiful girl through the window, and found that she went upstairs and downstairs, and led a big suitcase, looking very helpless, so he decided to ask to see if he needed help.
He caught up with him and asked, "Who are you looking for?" I can help you", Tai Lihua understood his words, so he said the person's name, but he didn't realize that Tai Lihua was a hearing-impaired person, he just felt a little strange.
He then asked some questions, Tai Lihua pointed to his ears and shook his hand, indicating that he couldn't hear, and then he thought: "It turns out that she can't hear", but he was not very surprised, but he was just worried that Tai Lihua would wait for a long time and it would be cold.
So, he told her to go up and sit at home, and the person she was looking for might come back later. Tai Lihua felt that this person was more kind-hearted because he did not discriminate against or dislike his hearing, so he agreed.
The two chatted for 6 hours, from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock in the evening, all relying on paper and pen to communicate, and those few pieces of paper at that time are still kept by Li Chun.
That night, Li Chun's mind was full of scenes like a movie, all the scenes of Tai Lihua's afternoon chat, and he clearly remembered Tai Lihua's dress at that time, with a ponytail and a blue plaid coat.
Then they began a 7-year love run, during which they kept a diary of each other every day, and finally formed a happy family.
Today, Tai Lihua not only has a successful career and a happy family, but also has made great contributions to charity, and she has promoted the formation of the Affiliated School of the China Disabled Persons Art Troupe, so that disabled children can also learn cultural classes.
She often leads art troupes to do charity activities, organizes charity performances, and has visited schools for the disabled in more than 60 countries. The "My Dream" ** club was also set up to donate money to disaster areas and schools for the disabled.
From losing the voice of the world to becoming a voice in the world, Tai Lihua has gone through a path of pain, sweat, perseverance, and never giving up, and she has shown us the tenacity of life.
I hope that all of us can find our love and give everything for it until we become the loudest voice.
