7年的恋爱长跑，这对恋人也面，临过来自家庭社会的诸多压力和阻力，邰丽华也曾经仿徨过，她向自己昔日的恩师文洁倾诉了自己的困惑，文老师鼓励她说，用事迹和真诚去感动他的父母。
Her dream of becoming a international class dancer came true. Over the next decade she garnered acclaim for herself and the troupe with her graceful performances. Today, she sees her role changing as she takes on new responsibilities as the art director and president of the troupe. Her days are now filled with myriad different tasks that she happily completes, always willing to devote herself to the troupe that has nurtured her.
Aware that her time on the stage cannot last forever, Tai lihua spends a great deal of her time and energy not on the stage but in practice halls among new younger members of the troupe. Passionate as ever, she passes down the skills and lessons of her experience, inspiring the troupe to reach even bigger dreams.
This special band is the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe's instrumental band. These musicians are all (clinically) blind but they are as independent and confident as any sighted person.
Unfortunately she recalls those days in her childhood, I lost my hearing at the age of 2, due to the injection of streptomycin when I had a fever. Her future was very bleak, how could she overcome her impaired hearing and she also lost the use and functionality of her vocal chord. Her family was very poor to seek or enlist doctor to treat her disability. With such a young and tender age, she has to face so many obstacles in life, it is an insurmountable task for adult not to mention for a 2years old child.
Under many adverse circumstances, she has endured all the hardship and tough time in life or life has to offer, nevertheless difficult circumstances did not alter or change her dream or course of becoming a dancer one day, neither the tough time lasted as she was not about to give up without a good fight. She is a conqueror and may be more fittingly an over-comer that suited her personality of a non-quitter.
This reminds me as a believer that our life is a gift that God has given to each of us. Jesus said in John 10:10 “ I have come that you might have and enjoy life and have it in abundance, to the full, till it overflows”. You see, God chose you and me before the foundation of the world – and He’s planned our days for good and not for evil. He entrusts us with is, to view them as a great gift from a loving and caring Father. Can you think of anything worse than receiving a gift and refusing to enjoy it? But that’s exactly what some people do. They drag through life with no joy, no happiness and no enthusiasm – they’re just going the motions and waiting for the day that things change for the better.
Dear brothers and sisters, our enjoyment of life shouldn’t be based on our circumstances. Enjoying life should be an attitude of the heart. And that attitude begins with the understanding that our life is a gift from God.. God’s desire is not that we hurry through life, thinking joy lies in reaching some future destination. His desire is that we enjoy the entire journey.
Making thing worse for her is that she too was suffering from speech disability. The disabled 2 years old girl has one thing that many normal 2 years old do not have, which is a “BIG HEART”. A heart that had performed the multitude that is so essential for her to become an accomplished dancer today. Her heart which has served as a piano or musical instrument that is so necessary for a dancer and also creating the rhythm and the feeling of the tempo inside her heart Hiding behind those happy and joyful face, is a very combative personality of a fighter, who have fought against all odds stacked against her. She managed to hold her own not without the sheer determination and self imposed dedication.. Her many long hours of sacrifice on dance floor or practices has finally paid off when she was called to the dance troupe and achieved her dream and vision to perform in the stage for the disable people. It is no longer a dream and it is a reality that she has overcame and achieved the only favourite passion and pastime of her – “dancing”.
In your and my life, God has our steps planned. He has our days ordered, so knowing that, you and I should decide today not to get frustrated and bent out of shape because we’re not progressing as quickly as we’d like or our plans are sometimes frustrated. Remember that we never really “arrive”. There are many stages we must go through for God to develop and mature us and each stage or phase is vital to the next. Don’t get so caught up in the hopes of tomorrow that you forget to enjoy today.
