Recently, she was fanned by the 9-year-old ballet girl Yun Er in the documentary "Little Boy".
Yun'er lives in a poor village in a poor county in Yunnan, a village with only one road leading to the world outside the village.
Her parents opened a pork shop, and on weekdays, when she came home from school, she would help wash rags, iron pig feet, and pick pig hair.
Even the pig's loins will be lined up to clean, like fiddling with toys, and the red and greasy pig's blood will often splash everywhere.
Once, Yun Er accidentally saw a video of dancing ballet on her mobile phone.
She began to imitate the jump, without professional teachers to teach, she watched the video to learn, one action after another.
In order to facilitate memory, Yun Er also made up a name for each dance movement, and even the most difficult movements can be done in a similar way.
The noisy pork shop has become the place where Yun'er's dreams sprouted, and she became obsessed with dancing ballet.
Even if it is out of place with her surroundings, it does not prevent her from dancing selflessly in the pork shop...
The mother saw that her daughter was interested and talented, and took her to find a professional teacher, and the dance teacher in the county said: "Learning from us, she is a bit condescending." You should find a better teacher for her. ”
By chance, a friend recommended Yun'er to participate in the "Caiyun Project", a public welfare activity dedicated to helping rural girls in Yunnan realize their dance dreams.
Yun Er's fate was quietly changed.
Her amazing talent attracted the attention of The Ballet Teachers of the Beijing Dance Academy, Guan Yu and Zhang Ping.
"The students I have taught are all the best of the best, the best of the best, but I have never seen such a talented child."
In order to let Yun'er receive professional dance training, Teacher Zhang Ping even quit her job, gave up the results of more than 20 years of hard work in Beijing, and returned to Yunnan to help her and more rural girls realize the dreams in their hearts.
Yun'er's mother didn't go to much school, let alone ballet.
However, when her daughter said that she wanted to be a "dancer" when she grew up, she did not feel that her daughter was "whimsical".
She said: "As long as the child likes, the adults have to help her." ”
On weekdays, as long as no customers come to the door, she and her daughter will find videos from the Internet and teach them to learn.
"I shout what people's mothers shout, and I do what people's mothers do."
As long as she is idle, she will help Yun Er to wrench her legs and press her feet, and assist her daughter to do various difficult actions.
On the one hand, the life that can be seen day after day, on the other hand, is the seemingly unattainable dream of the daughter.
In front of the noisy pork stall, my mother told Yun Er with her own attitude-
Life is never only about the present, but also the dreams and the distance.
On the way to self-learning ballet, Yun'er not only has the guidance of her mother, but also her father silently supports her in her own unique way.
She always wanted to have a practice room.
The father who did not have money to invite the workers lifted the wood with Yun'er one by one and personally built a practice room for Yun'er.
The rural streets and simple practice houses carry not only Yun'er's big dreams, but also her father's support and deep love.
In remote and poor villages, many people will feel that the children of poor families always seem to have a little luxury in their dreams.
However, compared to her peers, Yun Er is lucky and happy.
Although her parents had no culture and did not understand ballet, they gave the greatest respect and care to her dreams.
Children who dream of being respected by their parents, even in the ravine, have the courage to try to look up at the stars.
Yun Er, who had been teaching herself to dance ballet, finally waited for Bole!
Teacher Zhang Ping from the Ballet Department of the Beijing Dance Academy returned to Yunnan and taught her by hand.
However, in front of Bo Le, Yun Er suddenly cried and shouted——
"I'm not practicing!"
It turned out that I used to watch videos and learn by myself, and I didn't understand the professional rules.
When Teacher Zhang Ping used professional strength to press her feet and wrench her legs, Yun'er's feet and legs, which were originally quite flexible, began to hurt her heart.
Even if Teacher Zhang Ping repeatedly comforted: "When practicing dance, you have to suffer hardships, and it is common for the feet to grind bubbles and even bleed, and it will not hurt after the pain." ”
In front of her mother, Yun Er still cried bitterly while playing.
Seeing a child crying in pain, what mother can not be distressed?
However, Yun'er's mother knows that the more this time comes, the more she can't be soft-hearted.
Because she has suffered too much in life, she wants her child to persevere more than anyone.
"I don't want my children to go our old ways, the business of selling meat is too bitter!"
She couldn't make a big sense, and only asked Yun Er the most realistic question: "Do you want to raise pigs at home?" ”
Yun Er cried and shook her head: "No! ”
"If you don't want to, you continue to insist, if you don't insist, Teacher Zhang won't teach you."
When she found that the more she stayed in front of her daughter, the more "squeamish" her daughter became, and her mother turned away fiercely.
Eventually, Yun'er's love for dance transcended the momentary hardships in the noisy pork shop, and she began to practice harder day after day.
The blows of passers-by's cold words cannot match the infinite power given to her by the cruelty of reality and dreams.
In the child's world, there is a kind of heroism that actually knows the truth of life and begins to mature.
Carefree children, the shoulders are most easily crushed by difficulties.
When I see children who have lived a hard life, I know that my efforts are not bitter.
Yun'er's love and persistence in ballet has changed her life little by little.
Teacher Zhang Ping took her and several other girls who also loved dancing to Beijing and appeared on the stage of CCTV's "Departure to Happiness".
The night before departure, the villagers sent them off, just like the New Year.
Dad took a sip of the spirits in the bowl, and there were tears of pride on his face—
"The little baby is going to Beijing tomorrow, and I am very excited."
The villagers earnestly asked -
"Jump! child! Our village has a Yang Liping Wow! ”
At that moment, Yun'er seemed to have become the pride of the whole village, and it was something they had never dared to think about to have a baby perform in Beijing.
The first time Yun Er and her mother took the high-speed train, they learned that "Thomas" had no eyes.
The first time I flew on a plane, I saw the clouds in the sky from mid-air, and I was so surprised that small stars appeared in my eyes.
The first time on the stage of CCTV, while dancing confidently, while looking at the mother in the audience, laughing happily.
The first time she went to the Beijing Dance Academy, she began to have the opportunity to go out of the mountains and see the wider world.
Some people say that the most beautiful state of life is to "enter the narrow door, walk a long way, see the glimmer", and meet a better self.
Without the support of her parents along the way, Yun'er's ballet dream may not be as good as it is today.
It was the pattern and foresight of her parents that allowed her to go further and see the glimmer as she wished.
Children with dreams have light in their eyes.
Just like in the documentary, the girls who like to dance like Yun'er.
They may not be as talented as Yun'er, but they have the same sparkling dreams.
Although, they are a group of children without umbrellas.
There is a girl named "Zhuhua", when she was more than one year old, her parents divorced, and her parents who worked outside the home did not come back to see her for the New Year.
The teacher asked her, "Do you think your dreams can be realized?" ”
The sensible girl, who had been holding back the tears, broke the embankment--"I don't know." ”
One girl said that because she was a girl, she was abandoned by her biological parents after birth, and it was her adoptive father and adoptive mother who brought her up.
But later, for some unknown reason, her adoptive mother suddenly left one day, leaving her and her adoptive father to live together.
Many of them are left-behind children.
Teacher Guan Yu of the Ballet Department of the Beijing Dance Academy said helplessly: "Most of them dropped out of junior high school and will marry within a few years." ”
However, as Tagore once said: The world kisses me with pain, and I will repay it with a song.
The girl said, "Just dance and forget your troubles." ”
In the moment of dancing, the confidence and beauty of the girl's body are enough to shock people's hearts.
Dreams are armor that gives girls who experience setbacks the courage to face their own unknown future.
"I'm going to go to college when I grow up" "I want to be an artist."
When it comes to dreams, they have all become people with light in their eyes.
The tenacity and optimism in their bones make them sparkle.
Many netizens said that when they saw this, they felt inspired, moved, and inspired.
The dream of youth is never a dream that you forget when you wake up in the morning.
Today, with the support of the "Caiyun Project", many children are getting closer to their dreams step by step.
More than 50 children were admitted to the Attached Middle School of Yunnan Academy of Arts and kunming art school, and the tuition fees were funded by couples and caring people.
Behind the dream into reality, thank those who have light in their hearts!
Let them even live in the crevices of the stones, they can do their best to open a flower.
