A concert was held on March 3, at Shenzhen Grand Theatre. It was to celebrate China's
25th National Ear Care Day and let people know the importance of ear care.
Dong Xiu, Leader of the Shenzhen Disabled Persons Federation, said the theme of the
concert was "Technology helps hearing, sharing a better life". He also said the concert was
charitable.
Hosted by Wu Qingjie, Tan Sufeng and Chen Mingxing, the
concert mixed classical Western and Chinese music, including two new songs. "Please Don't
Go", which was made by Shao Jingyi, a student from Shenzhen Middle School, was sung by
some students from the same school as a gift to children with autism. Another new
song, "Hourglass' Whispers", was played by Li Ying and a student group. The concert deeply
caught the hearts of the audience.
The cooperation behind "Hourglass' Whispers" includes different organizations and
schools, explaining the community's hard work on meaningful projects. Fang Jinghang and Li
Hengchang, two disabled people, showed their excellent skills on the piano. One of the
audience said he couldn't believe that the performers were disabled and he thought it
is important to provide more performance chances to make their lives colourful.
Overall, the concert is not only for people to enjoy music but also a great chance to learn
about ear care and show the talents of disabled people. Through community support, Shenzhen
continues towards its goal of becoming a friendly city to the disabled, making sure of the same
chance and support for all its citizens. "We all believe that a city this warm is never far from
reaching that goal," said Fang Jinghang.
