A video of Xiong Linghao, an 18-year-old girl playing Pathetique Sonata in a youth piano competition in Shanghai, became popular online. Xiong Linghao is a blind(盲的)girl. When she was little, her mother found she had a talent for music. She could play children's songs at home when she was only 3. Then her mother sent her to learn the piano at the age of 6. She said her idol(偶像)is Beethoven, who had hearing problems in his 20s and later could hear nothing. They both tried to touch the world through music. "The piano is my best friend, " said Xiong. "The piano brings much to me. It helps make my life different. "
In fact, it is not easy for the blind to learn to play the piano. At first, Xiong's teacher helped
her put her hands and fingers on keys(琴键). "Practice is important because I need muscle
memory(肌肉记忆)to find the right keys, " she said.
About three years ago, Xiong composed (创 作) one song called The Little Dog in Dream.
She hopes her life will become easier with the help of a guide dog. She hopes her dream can
come true one day.
