Wang Yanan sleeps on a three-legged bed

Wang Yanan is a famous economist in my country.When Wang Yanan was young, he had great ambitions and loved reading.

When he was in middle school, in order to gain more time to study, Wang Yanan thought of a way that ordinary people could not think of.

One day, Wang Yanan returned home, took out the saw teeth, and sawed off one leg of the wooden bed he was sleeping on by half a foot, turning it into a three-legged bed.Every day, when he read late into the night, fatigue would strike him one after another. At this time, he would lie on that strange three-legged bed. Exhausted and sleepy, Wang Yanan soon fell into a sweet sleep.However, after sleeping, Wang Yanan turned over in a daze, and the three-legged bed quickly tilted towards the short-legged direction, and he was suddenly awakened.He turned over in a jerk, got out of bed immediately, and continued to read at his desk at night.

Wang Yanan is like this, every day, every night, without interruption.As a result, he achieved excellent results every year and was honored as one of the "Three Masters" in the class.

wonderful performance

Mozart was a famous composer in the 18th century. Because of his outstanding musical talent, he was hailed as a "music prodigy" by the world. Together with the equally famous Haydn and Beethoven, he was also known as the three major composers of the Vienna Classical School.

Mozart was also a student of Haydn. They have a deep friendship between teachers and students, and they are jointly pursuing the highest state of music performance.

One day, Mozart made a bet with his teacher: "I can write a piece of music, but you can't play it, teacher!"

There is such a strange thing in the world?Haydn, a teacher who has long been successful and famous, can't easily believe this.Mozart handed the score to the teacher, and Haydn confidently sat in front of the piano and played it. After a while, Haydn exclaimed: "Strange, how can there be one when I play the two ends of the piano with my two hands?" Does the note appear in the middle of the keyboard?" Then Haydn played a few more times with his superb skills, but still failed, and finally he shook his head helplessly and said, "It's hell, it seems that no one can play such a note." song."

At this time, I saw Mozart took the score, sat on the piano bench with a smile, and played with confidence.When encountering that particular note, he bent forward without haste, tapped his nose lightly, and successfully played that note.Haydn couldn't help admiring his master disciple.

mother heart words
The flexible thinking shown by Mozart's bet shines everywhere in his immortal works.Innovation is the soul of progress and an inexhaustible driving force for artistic development.There is no piece of music that cannot be played in the world. Confined by tradition and stagnant, it is the enemy of artistic development.

silent dance

At the Spring Festival Gala in 2005, "Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands" performed by 21 deaf-mute actors became the most popular program at the show.Overnight, people all over the country fell in love with Tai Lihua, the "Sister Guanyin" who led the dance.

Tai Lihua, a native of Yichang, Hubei, lost her hearing due to a high fever when she was two years old; at the age of seven, she started student life with children of the same age, but she entered a school for the deaf.

In a school for the deaf and mute, there is a course completely unfamiliar to able-bodied children-rhythm class.During class, the teacher will beat the elephant foot drum under the wooden floor, and the vibration will be transmitted to the students standing on the floor, so that the children can understand what rhythm is.

Class was over, and when the students were excited by the infinitely changing vibrations under their feet, Tai Lihua also crawled on the floor with her whole body, her eyes twinkling brightly, feeling the different vibrations from the floor with her whole body, and she was very happy.She suddenly discovered that there is a language in the world that belongs to her!So, she pointed to her chest and told the teacher: I like it!

This is an extraordinary rhythm class, from which Tai Lihua understands: In this world, there is still a rhyme and rhythm that belongs to them.She put her ears on the speaker of the tape recorder, feeling the wonderful and extraordinary vibration with her whole body-for ordinary people, this is a very common thing, but in Tai Lihua's world, she has to do it so hard. listen.She heard the singing of birds in the woods, the flowing water in the mountains, the orderly steps of the soldiers, and the calls to her from all things in the world... Inspired, Tai Lihua began to look forward to the dance show on TV. I thought: It would be great if I could show my dancing posture on TV.From that moment on, she made a resolution: I want to learn to dance, and I want to make dance another language of my own.

It was a rough start.Because she lost her hearing, and it was too late to start formal dance training at the age of 15, but there was a kind of strength hidden in this girl's weak appearance.She threw herself into this novel and inspiring world recklessly. If she could not hear the music, she used her heart to accompany it.In the past few years, the scars on my feet have formed and torn, torn and knotted, and several layers of skin have peeled off, and my body is always blue and purple, with many scars.

Hard work pays off.Finally, in competition after competition, Tai Lihua stood out among many dancers and won dance awards one by one.In several art competitions, the judges would not have noticed that the dancer in front of them was a deaf-mute girl if they hadn't seen the person who was beating the beat in sign language.

Once, a "Civilization Without Borders" event was held in Italy. In the large-scale dance party, superstars and famous dancers of modern dance and ballet gathered in the world today. Tai Lihua, as the only disabled dancer The dancers performed the dance "Dunhuang Painted Sculpture" with an oriental sentiment.During the performance, her figure was soft and her movements were light and graceful, as if bringing people into the magical world of Dunhuang. During the whole performance, the audience set off "storms of applause" again and again.

For Tai Lihua, what hearing aids bring is a sense of presence similar to stage sound effects. When she dances lightly, she does not rely on these external rhythms. All the melodies are in her heart, and all the smooth movements are carried out. It is completely dependent on thousands of times and tens of thousands of times of hard work and hard work in the audience.

Life is a dance of the largest scale, and it can be swayed freely even where there is no sound. This is the call of the god of art to his heart.

Tai Lihua can't hear the music, but she can still dance lightly, performing unforgettable images on the stage again and again, expressing her inner melody through her body, and conquering batch after batch of audiences at the same time.Dance is the most beautiful language to express the artist's inner world. Artists rely on this language to show the vigorous life, outline the nobility of human nature, convey the inner voice, and create the beauty of the silent world.

calligraphy story

In the Palace Museum in Beijing, there is a two-meter-long "Taoxi Poetry Volume" in the collection. This calligraphy work is chic, comfortable in structure, free from the constraints of the predecessors, and has its unique artistic features. People who have seen it praise it Can't stop talking.This painting was made by Mi Fu, a famous calligrapher in the Song Dynasty.

Mi Fu used to learn to write from a private school teacher in the village when he was a child.After studying for three years, it took a lot of paper, but the writing was very ordinary, and my husband drove him away in a fit of anger.

One day, a scholar who was rushing to take an exam passed by Mi Fu's hometown.Mi Fu heard that his handwriting was very good, so he went to ask for advice.The scholar said: "If I want to teach you, I have to use my paper. My paper is five taels of silver." After hearing this, Mi Fu was stunned.

The scholar said again: "It's fine if you don't buy my paper."

Mi Fu was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "I'm going to find some money." The mother couldn't bear Mi Fu's begging, so she had to pawn off her only jewelry as five taels of silver.The scholar took the money, gave Mi Fu a piece of paper, and told him to write with his heart.

It was just a piece of ordinary paper, but Mi Fu didn't dare to write lightly, and carefully pondered over the copybook.He drew on the desk with his fingers, thinking about the structure and strokes of each character, and gradually became fascinated.

After half a day, Xiucai found Mi Fu and asked, "Why don't you write?"

Mi Fu was startled, dropped his pen on the ground, and said, "Paper is too expensive, I'm afraid it will be wasted."

The scholar smiled and said, "You have been pondering for so long, write a word for me to read."

Mi Fu wrote the character "Yong", which is almost the same as the words on the copybook, but it seems to be different, which is really beautiful.

The scholar said: "Writing requires not only the pen, but also the heart. You already know how to put your heart into it."

A few days later, the scholar was leaving. Before leaving, he gave Mi Fu a cloth bag and told him to open it after he left.Mi Fu watched the scholar go away, and opened the cloth bag to see: it turned out to be the five taels of silver!Mi Fu was so moved that he almost shed tears.

Since then, he has been putting the five taels of silver on the desk, always remembering the scholar who painstakingly taught him to write.God rewards hard work.Mi Fu cherished every blank piece of paper, studied hard and practiced hard, and finally became a famous calligrapher in history.

When many children are learning painting or calligraphy, they feel that they have not painted well, so they tear up the drawing paper or throw the painting tools around. Only by drawing a single word and drawing each picture well can one develop real skills.

Every Sunday afternoon, a band plays open-air music in nearby Luleni Park.On days with good weather, there will be many spectators, because listening to music there not only kills time, but also the music played by the band is loved by the audience.

On a sunny Sunday, there was a blind little girl in the audience, about fourteen or fifteen years old. She sat at the front of the auditorium, next to the conductor. While listening to the music, the little girl kept It was very quiet until the "Blue Danube", which was played here for the first time, sounded.While the music was playing, the little girl stood up excitedly. Her little hands followed the beat of the music and her arms waved along with the band's baton.

More and more people turned their eyes from the conductor to the blind girl.Soon, the conductor also realized what was happening around him.He was a very sensible man, and when someone in the crowd took off his hat and motioned to him, he slowly left his position and stepped aside to give the bandmates a better view of the girl's conductor.Of course, the band members are very familiar with the music and their acting skills, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.However, the blind girl conducts so naturally and fluently that her level seems to be no worse than that of an orchestra conductor.

The concert was over, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and when the girl sat down, two lines of tears rolled down her face.That day, the blind girl was by no means the only one who cried.
