Seeing him walk across the stage is hard to forget. He walks painfully, but gracefully(大方地), until he reaches his chair. He sits down slowly, puts his crutches on the floor and places his legs in the correct place. Then he picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and starts to play.

But suddenly something goes wrong. The violinist finishes the first few parts of the piece, but one of the strings on his violin breaks. Everyone hears it clearly.
