But netizens may not know that the little pianist is a patient with epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism and thalassemia. On March 11, Xuanxuan, 14, and his father were interviewed by upstream reporters. They tell the inspirational story of this tenacious teenager from having no grip on his hands to obtaining a grade ten in piano (piano major in the social arts level music examination). Xuan Xuan's father, Gan Qiang, said: "I don't want to create a genius, I just hope that the window of music can make more light shine into his heart and make him no longer lonely." ”
Xuan Xuan when playing the piano
The child was diagnosed with two major diseases at the age of 1
Get up at 6:30 in the morning, wash up, then, half an hour of physical training, then eat breakfast, then 15 minutes of practice time, practice the piano out of the house, start a half-day school life, afternoon piano lessons or swimming... Gan Qiang, a 45-year-old full-time father, has set a systematic and thoughtful timetable for his son Xuanxuan. Every time Xuan Xuan carried out a project, he was next to him. He said it was not about supervising and meddling, but about companionship and appreciation.
Gan Qiang introduced that when Xuan Xuan was 3 months old, he found that the child had some abnormalities: the eyes did not follow, the hands did not have the ability to grasp, the neck was crooked, and he did not cry much. As a new father, he felt that this was a normal manifestation of the child in infancy, and thought that it would be better to be older, but as the child grew older, these symptoms did not improve, but intensified. At 8 months of age, the child also developed epilepsy symptoms.
"When I arrived at the hospital, I was diagnosed with epilepsy very quickly, and when I was more than 1 year old, I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and autism." Gan Qiang said that after getting the diagnosis report, their previous fluke psychology as parents disappeared. Reluctantly, he began to accept the incident and began to send his children to rehabilitation institutions for rehabilitation training.
Training children to blow candles for 3 years is unsuccessful
Accompanying children to rehabilitation training in professional institutions is a test for cadres and families: starting from daily life, training children to wash, go to the toilet, and get dressed. The process is arduous, and many parents of autistic children spend a lot of time and energy, exhausting methods, and exhausting patience, but with little success and despair.
In these respects, the pressure of dry strength is equally great. "It took 3 years to train children to blow candles, but they were not successful, and the children would burn their eyebrows." Gan Qiang said that one small thing is enough to destroy all confidence, and as a parent, in addition to financial pressure, it will really be physically and mentally exhausted. Gan Qiang said that they did not give up, forced themselves to have a strong heart, and constantly adjusted their mentality, and constantly explored the exercise method suitable for children. "Because no qualified father will say that his children can't do it!"
Xuan Xuan's examination certificate
Break open the "fist" and practice the piano from scratch
Gan Qiang said that for Xuan Xuan at that time, don't say playing the piano, the first thing that needs to be overcome is the problem of stiff fingers and "clenching fists" at any time. To this end, he and his family tried to make Xuan Xuan's fingers move by learning to beat the drum, but Xuan Xuan was not interested at all, and would smash things when he was not happy. This situation changed until 2013, when Xuanxuan was 5 years old, when Heon Qiang inadvertently bought an electronic keyboard for his child.
"At first, Xuan Xuan was still not interested in the piano like beating a drum, and we also found a teacher to teach him, but he ripped off the teacher's glasses as soon as he pulled it, frightening the teacher to leave without even asking for money." Gan Qiang said that later he went to the teacher of the rehabilitation institution for help, and the teacher said: To learn to play the piano, first open your fingers.
Since then, Xuan Xuan's grandmother has been training Xuan Xuan's fingers every day. Because Xuan Xuan's fingers were stiff, at first he could only break the thumb and index finger of one hand, and after breaking it, he let the thumb and index finger alternately place on the piano key, and after a few months, the two fingers were opened, and for half a year, Xuan Xuan could play the key with one hand.
With progress, they found a teacher again to teach piano lessons. Since then, Xuan Xuan has become obsessed with playing the piano and has made rapid progress. In 2016, Xuan Xuan passed the social art level music examination and piano professional level five examination. Two years later, he passed the level 10 examination of the same major. "In fact, it is not that we want him to take the exam, it is the teacher who wants to test whether the teaching method is effective through the examination." Dry strength indication.
Xuan Xuan also knows how to swim and roller skate
Roller skating and climbing basketball also prepare for swimming competitions
"Even if there is no piano score Xuan Xuan can play, his memory is very good, we also found him a professional teacher to teach music theory, and now Xuan Xuan's level of music recognition has reached the middle and high level." Gan Qiang said that with Xuan Xuan's physical condition, passing the tenth level in such a short period of time was a miracle, and many people began to praise him for his talent and genius.
"I don't think so." Gan Qiang said that some people compared Xuan Xuan with some so-called musical geniuses before, but he believed that this only proved that Xuan Xuan was not worse than ordinary people, and could also learn and achieve something, or even be more focused. In addition to his own hard work, he has also paid a lot of painstaking guidance from his parents and family. "We just want our child to understand that with focus and hard work, he is no worse than anyone else."
Now Xuan xuan, in addition to playing the piano well, can also roller skate, climb rock, play basketball, and is also preparing for swimming competitions. According to Xuanxuan's specific situation, Gan Qiang updated Xuanxuan's daily schedule: Monday Wednesday five afternoon piano, Tuesday Thursday and Saturday afternoon swimming, Sunday consolidation review independent bus ride...
