Last week, my grandson's school were holding their Xmas carol evening.Quote from: "Bricktop"
As the parents and grandparents filed into the hall, there was a pianist in one corner, playing lovely melodies before the performance began. His playing was beautiful and so precise, and he played effortlessly.
My daughter in law leaned over and told me that the pianist was in the same class as my grandson.
He is 7.
He was so young, that when he finished one of his pieces, the audience applauded him, he looked up wondering what the applause was for and then resumed playing, oblivious to the awestruck crowd.
He was also Chinese.
And partially deaf.
Sounds like the boy has a big road of potential paved right before him. Kinda reminds me of those ancient tales, especially in eastern Asia those that struggle with a severe terminal illness or disability but with a strong passion to learn, work hard and succeed are guaranteed to break through great limits.
He's a prodigy. He'd better get used to applause, because he's going to hear a LOT of it. An amazing young boy.
