残疾舞者 - She without arm, he without leg
身残并不可怕。。最怕而又最可怜的是。。心残。。志残。。他们能因心中有梦,天下无难事,只怕有心人,没有失败的事,只有放弃才成为永远的失败。只要坚持,终有一天梦想会成真,就好像馬麗&翟孝偉这对舞者。。。
Ma Li and Zhai Xiaowei dancing to Broken Wings sung by Clay Aiken. Such a beautiful and inspirational dance performed by 2 amputees.
The girl (Ma, Li) was a beautiful promising professional ballerina when she lost her right arm in a car accident in 1996. She was only 19. Her handsome boy friend walked away from her. She tried to kill herself only to be saved by her parents. Her love for her parents gave her the strength to live. She learned how to live her life independently. She learned how to write Chinese beautifully and how to do many things including combing her hair, which she had to cut short from the waist-length to shoulder-length. She learned to cook and to wash clothes ... In a few months she opened her small bookstore. Five years later in 2001, she was invited to compete at the 5th national special performing art competition for handicaps and won the gold medal. That success gave her the hope to return to her beloved stage. In 2002, a handsome 20-year-old young man (Li, Tao) madly fell in love with her. She ran a way from him for fear of being hurt again. After she disappeared in Beijing, Tao searched her up and down despite his parents' strong objection and ridicule. He finally found her dancing in a bar. They have never been separated since. They were very broke when SARS was spreading because all theaters were closed. In 2004, he got a license to be her legitimate agent and was trying to help her develop a unique performance. In a cold snowy night, when the two huddled in an underpass to wait for the sunrise in order to catch a bus after a long day at a movie shooting site working as extras, she suddenly had the urge to dance in the snow with him. She had used her dance to tell him her story so many times before and this time, after their "dance" ended, he suddenly realized that THIS should be her unique performance. In September 2005, she ran into a 21-year-old young man (Zhai, Xiaowei). He was being trained to be a cyclist for the national special olympics. He had never danced before. He climbed on a tractor when he was 4 years old and fell off it and lost his left leg. His dad asked him, "The doctor will have to amputate your leg. Are you afraid?" He couldn't comprehend what would be so different so he said no. His dad said, "You are going to face many challenges and difficulties in life, are you afraid?" He asked, "What are 'challenges and difficulties?' Do they taste good?" His dad laughed with tears, "Yes, they're like your favorite candies. You just need to eat them one piece at a time!" (Then his dad ran out of the room in tears.) So he's always very optimistic and athletic with a great sense of humor. He had tried high-jump, long-jump, diving, swimming, and just settled on cycling. His coach believed that he would be able to get 2-3 gold medals in the national special Olympics games. (In the video interview, you can see him doing a bridge with great ease!) He initially didn't understand how he could "dance," so Li invited him to see her performing "Hand in Hand" with another male actor. He felt that he saw a perfect soul dancing on the stage and agreed to give it a try. Li & Tao treated him like their younger brother and they stayed under the same roof during the more than 1 year of intensive training and practice. One would not be able to imagine the kind of challenges and difficulties they faced. He had NO dancing background and she is a perfectionist. There are so many touching stories. Much determination has gone into the making of this performance. Just for that one "drop" move at 3:41 of the clip, he landed her on the hard floor more than 1000 times!!! To get the move right, they started at 8 a.m. and got the first successful move shortly after 8 pm! All they did was to train and to practice from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. day-in and day-out until the three of them ran out of money in early 2007 ... The rest is history. In April they were one of the finalists among 7000 competitors in the 4th CCTV national dance competition. It is the first time a handicapped couple ever entered the competition. They won the Silver medal with the 99.17 high score and not to mention the highest audience popular votes. They became an instant national hit.
李嘉誠14格言教你成功
1、在20歲前,事業上的成果百分之百靠雙手勤勞換來;20歲至30歲之前,事業已有些小基礎,那10年的成功,10%靠運氣好,90%仍是由勤勞得來;之後,機會的比例也漸漸提高;到現在,運氣已差不多要佔三至四成了。
不敢說一定沒有命運,但假如一件事在天時、地利、人和等方面皆相背時,那肯定不會成功。若我們貿然去做,失敗時便埋怨命運,這是不對的。
2、與新老朋友相交時,都要誠實可靠,避免說大話。要說到做到,不放空炮,做不到的寧可不說。
3、你要相信世界上每一個人都精明,要令人信服並喜歡和你交往,那才最重要。
4、即使本來有一百的力量足以成事,但我要儲足二百的力量去攻,而不是隨便去賭一賭。
5、一般而言,我對那些默默無聞,但做一些對人類有實際貢獻的事情的人,都心存景仰,我很喜歡看關於那些人物的書。無論在醫療、政治、教育、福利哪一方面,對全人類有所幫助的人,我都很佩服。
6、人才取之不盡,用之不竭。你對人好,人家對你好是很自然的,世界上任何人也都可以成為你的核心人物。
7、知人善任,大多數人都會有部份的長處,部份的短處,各盡所能,各得所需,以量才而用為原則。
8、做人最要緊的,是讓人由衷地喜歡你,敬佩你本人,而不是你的財力,也不是表面上的服從。
9、決定一件事時,事先都會小心謹慎研究清楚,當決定後,就勇往直前去做。
10、在劇烈的競爭當中多付出一點,便可多贏一點。就像參加奧運會一樣,你看一、二、三名,跑第一的往往只是快了那麼一點點。
11、人生自有其沉浮,每個人都應該學會忍受生活中屬於自己的一分悲傷,只有這樣,你才能體會到甚麼叫做成功,甚麼叫做真正的幸福。
12、苦難的生活,是我人生的最好鍛煉,尤其是做推銷員,使我學會了不少東西,明白了不少事理。所有這些,是我今天10億、100億也買不到的。
13、在事業上謀求成功,沒有甚麼絕對的公式。但如果能依賴某些原則的話,能將成功的希望提高很多。
14、人們讚譽我是超人,其實我並非天生就是優秀的經營者。到現在我只敢說經營得還可以,我是經歷了很多挫折和磨難之後,才領會了一些經營的要訣。
