The guy who brought the children on the stage to fight the drum together was named Wei Jun, and everyone called him Teacher Wei. For his teaching, students and parents are highly recognized and praised.
The grandmother of a 13-year-old child told the Jiangxi City Channel reporter that the grandson has been learning drums with Wei Jun for more than 2 years and often follows Wei Jun to perform. This old man is quite recognized by Wei Jun, and bluntly said that without Wei Jun, there would be no grandson today. And there are many parents who have such feelings.
Parents of students: I saw such a good atmosphere, I wanted him to try it, and then he slowly liked it, and he has been learning with Teacher Wei, mainly Teacher Wei teaches very well, he is very good at teaching such children, he teaches such children more patiently, and there are methods.
Another student, who is 14 years old, said that the child studied with Wei Jun for three or four months, and the son has fallen deeply in love with the drum kit, and as long as the music plays, he wants to wave the drum stick and play the drum.
At the performance scene of the drums of the Heart to Heart Art Troupe, Wei Jun will teach these children hand in hand and correct their mistakes in time, because they are all autistic children, so they should be particularly patient in teaching, and they must also pay attention to methods and methods.
Parents of students: There is a big change, he now follows Wei Jun to perform dozens of times a year, and every time they perform, Teacher Wei arranges him to sit in the front row and follow Wei Jun in a row, because his body language is a little richer. Through this drum kit, the children also learned something, more confident, and they especially liked to be on the stage.
At the performance site, the reporter saw a child in the crowd smiling while playing drums, which was very cute. The child's mother told reporters that her son was 13 years old, had studied drums with Wei Jun for more than 2 years, and had also performed many times with Wei Jun.
Parents of students: I am really very grateful to him, if it were not for contact with Wei Jun, maybe our children would not have anything until now, by learning from him, I think the drum can also develop wisdom, the child's expression ability is getting stronger and stronger, and the confidence on the stage is something we usually don't see.
From this mother's words, we feel her sincere gratitude to Wei Jun, she said that because of Wei Jun, her son has not only changed a lot, but even changed their family.
Parents of students: In the past, his grandparents were particularly unconfident in him and were particularly reluctant to mention him in front of others, but now every time there is a performance, his grandmother is the first to rush to the front to take him, so I feel that he has changed his grandmother and changed our family.
Wei Jun fully affirmed the student's drum kit level, which made the child's mother very pleased. At the scene, the reporter found a new student who came to visit.
New Students: Today is the first day to learn drum kits, I want to join them.
A simple "I want to join them" expressed the new student's heart. His grandmother told reporters that his grandson had never learned a musical instrument, and this time he came after seeing Wei Jun's performance.
Wei Jun every Saturday afternoon in Nanchang City Heart to Heart Art Troupe public welfare teaching this group of autistic children to fight drums, a few hours later, the reporter saw that Wei Jun has been enthusiastic, and happy in it.
Wei Jun, a contestant who participated in Shanghai Oriental Satellite TV's "China's Got Talent" in 2011, was discovered by the director for his extraordinary drum performance and "special function".
More than a decade has passed, and Wei Jun said that since he was on "China's Got Talent", he has also become a celebrity, and no matter where he goes, people will recognize him. At that time, Wei Jun was less than 18 years old, and now he is 29 years old, many things are changing, the same is that Wei Jun is also an autistic person, but he used his persistence and efforts to rewrite his fate.
Wei Chaobao is Wei Jun's father, who is 58 years old this year. He told reporters that when Wei Jun was about 1 year old, he was diagnosed with autism by doctors, and they were very uncomfortable, but they also reluctantly accepted this fact. Mr. Wei said they had considered having another child, but after weighing it up, they finally gave up. Since giving up the idea of having a second child, Wei Chaobao decided to raise Wei Jun well, but he encountered various difficulties at the beginning.
Wei Chaobao: When he was about four years old, he slowly began to walk, and when he couldn't walk, he would run everywhere, run to other people's homes to rummage through boxes and cabinets, others saw him coming and quickly closed the door, he couldn't speak, and slowly the symptoms of autism came out, and he couldn't communicate with him.
In order to take care of his son, Wei Chaobao asked the unit for leave and began to accompany him at home, but when he reached the age of his son's primary school, he encountered trouble again.
Wei Chaobao: I went to those nearby schools, and when the teachers saw him like that, they didn't sit still, they couldn't sit still, and the teacher who interviewed said, You are a child, we can't teach, you still go to other schools to see it.
Because it is an autistic child, so the general school does not accept, found it difficult to teach, and finally Wei Chaobao found a lot of schools, and finally only one school is willing to accept. However, when he sent his son to school in the morning and picked him up at noon, the teacher asked Wei Chaobao to bring his son home, saying that his son's behavior of using the school as a free market would affect the teaching of all teachers and students in the school. Wei Chaobao said that after being rejected by the regular school, Wei Jun often ran out to cause trouble, and people often came to complain at home, and once when the meal arrived when his son had not returned, he rushed to look for it, but found that the child was like a tramp, picking up bones thrown away by others in the garbage can to eat.
We can imagine the mood of a father when he saw his son picking up food in the trash can to eat, when Wei Jun was more than 8 years old, Wei Chaobao finally found a special school to accept his son, and the child began to change.
Wei Chaobao: He walks uncoordinatedly, shaking and shaking is like wrestling, and his limbs are a little difficult to control, and then the teacher suggested that he learn the drum kit, the drum kit exercises the limbs, and he can learn the instrument, you can exercise his brain, and control the balance of the limbs.
In order to exercise Wei Jun's limb coordination ability, Wei Chaobao followed the teacher's advice to take his son to learn the drum kit, and in order to practice the drum kit, the father and son stayed on the nearby construction site for three years.
Wei Jun: After a long period of training, I can now walk steadily, improve my sense of rhythm, and be able to play erhu for myself.
In fact, before learning the drum kit, Wei Jun had already begun to learn to pull the erhu, and now the erhu had passed the tenth level, which made him very proud. Wei Chaobao said that the most obvious characteristics of his son are that he does not speak clearly, cannot communicate with people, walks unevenly, and his thinking is sometimes confused, in order to change these, he can be said to have tried his best.
Wei Chaobao: He doesn't speak clearly, the timbre is ugly, just like there is something in his mouth, the teacher suggested that we ask the vocal teacher to teach him to sing, practice qi, hang his throat, maybe it is also helpful in language, I think what the teacher said is really reasonable, I asked the vocal teacher to teach him vocal music.
Today's Wei Jun, under the persistence and hard work of a long time, is not only good at pulling erhu, fighting drums, blowing gourd silk, and even playing live broadcasts. The once autistic child is now not much different from a normal person, which makes their whole family very happy. Wei Jun said that this was thanks to his parents.
Wei Jun: Sometimes my mother came back from work, and after eating at night, she had to go to other people's homes to do part-time work, a total of four, and she had back pain, and my mother was much older than ordinary people.
Wei Jun's mother looked much older than her peers because she had been working for the family for a long time. Seeing his mother's difficulty, Wei Jun will also work hard to repay his parents, and cooking a meal for his parents is what he often does.
Wei Jun was diagnosed with autism less than 1 year old, only half a day of school, until the age of 8 was able to enter a special school to study, and later through professional learning erhu, drums, vocal music, Wei Jun became more and more excellent. But he knew that he could not have what he is today without the help of his parents and society. As a public welfare teacher of drum kits of Nanchang Disabled Persons' Federation, helping more children with autism to learn drum kits and gain the ability to rely on themselves has become Wei Jun's wish to repay the society.
Xiao Junjie is 14 years old this year, and Wei Jun told reporters that he would come to his house three times a week to study. Xiao Junjie's grandmother told reporters that when Xiao Junjie was less than three years old, she had always been with her, and after she began to follow Wei Junla Erhu two years ago, the grandson's changes were getting bigger and bigger.
Grandma Xiao Junjie: Indeed, with the help and education of Teacher Wei's grandfather, the progress has been great, and I am also very happy, I said that Xiao Junjie is really making progress, and he has entered into normal people at the beginning, because now at home, he will take care of himself in the morning, he will get up and get dressed, brush his teeth and wash his face.
Xiao Junjie not only followed Wei Jun to learn erhu, but also followed Wei Jun to learn the drum, whether it was learning to pull erhu or learning to fight sub-drums, Xiao Junjie learned very well, and has made great changes, all of which makes the grandmother who looks in the eyes full of gratitude to Wei Chaobao's father and son.
Grandma Xiao Junjie: Teacher Wei is very good, especially Teacher Wei's father, really good, Teacher Wei teaches, Teacher Wei's father teaches, two teachers, so I asked my grandson to call him Grandmaster.
From the old man's expression and words, we felt her sincere gratitude to Wei Jun and his father. It is also because of the encouragement of these children and their parents that Wei Chaobao's father and son also have greater motivation and passion.
Over the years, Wei Chaobao has always been with his son Wei Jun, no matter where he goes, he has never left Wei Jun for half a step, silently accompanying his son to perform, attend classes and teach. He told us that in fact, over the years, Wei Junhui had almost learned it.
Wei Chaobao: I hope that more children will come out of autism, get out of the circle of autism, let them learn skills, learn skills, and go to society in the future to have their own jobs, relying on their own labor.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, and Wei Jun came all the way. In fact, Wei Jun also has a "special function" on his body, which makes him very proud. This "special function" is to be able to quickly and correctly report the perpetual calendar, which Wei Jun's family accidentally discovered. They were also surprised by this.
Wei Jun: I don't know what it was calculated by, anyway, God opened a door for me, and also closed a window for me, it was God who gave me a kind of talent, so this is what I called a special function.
I have to admit that today's Wei Jun is particularly excellent, he is no longer the autistic child who gives up on himself, but has the ability to stand on society and survive. The children of these stars are growing, getting better, and all have their own hopes under the care of their families and the love of society.
Wei Jun: My bigger dream is to bring a few more students and let them take to a bigger stage.
Autistic children are also called the children of the stars, they are like the stars in the sky, one person and one world, twinkling alone, they are not blind, but they are blind, but they are deaf; they are deaf, but deaf; they are not dumb, but it is difficult to communicate, two days after the interview, the reporter not only saw the children of this group of stars looking forward to learning, but also saw the smiles of parents who appreciated their children. Because of autism, they are unfortunate, but fortunate, and society has been caring for them. We also hope that more love will pay attention to this group of children, let them fly higher and go further!
