But my love for music never

“My6was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I7to ‘hear’ music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can8the pitch of a note (音调高低) by the vibrations (振动) I feel through my body and through my9.My entire sound world exists by making use of almost every10that I have.”
“I was11to be assessed as a musician, not as a deaf musician, and I applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had12this before and some teachers13my admission. Based on my performance, I was
14admitted and went on to15with the academy’s highest honours.”
“After that, I established myself as the first fulltime solo percussionist. I
