Peter Bo Belsky was born blind. Since he was a child, he felt that blindness was the greatest misfortune in his life. As he grew older, he began to feel that he would be abandoned from the circle of life forever and fall into a dark world isolated from normal people. Seeing the pain of blindness will become the only thing he can feel, and his egoism and bad temper are getting worse and worse.
Although nature deprived the child of his sight, it generously endowed him with another talent, that is, Peter's extraordinary musical genius. He was the first to appreciate the performance of the groom Josim's genius. Josim's ballads reflected the people's longing for a better life and expressed their sadness and courage. These ballads aroused the love of folk music in the child's heart and brought him into contact with the life of the people of the motherland for the first time.
Uncle Ma Kexin played a great role in the upbringing of the blind child. When he was young, Ma Kexin took an active part in the Italian people's struggle against the Austrian oppressors. He fought bravely in the army of garibaldi, the leader of the Italian national liberation movement. The Austrian sabre cut Ma Kexin into a disability. After his recovery, he lived in his sister's home, where the blind child was born. Although his body is disabled, his fighting spirit remains the same. He devoted all his energy to the education of blind children, and he himself found the meaning of life from here. The fate of the legendary blind pianist Yurko made Ma Kexin want to educate the blind child into an active participant in life. Although Yulko was blind, he took part in the battle and was buried with a Cossack leader. Both of them died in the battle with the enemies of the motherland, and their names are equally left in folklore.
On the one hand, Uncle Ma Kexin gave strict music training to blind children, on the other hand, he inspired him to understand the meaning of life, making him realize how insignificant personal sufferings are compared with people's sufferings. Musicians who longed for sight seeing since childhood finally realized that a person's real happiness lies not in the peace of his personal life, but in being able to stand in the ranks of soldiers and fight for the happiness of the people. So, Peter "chose his own destiny". He resolutely went to the team of blind beggars, shared the pain and poverty of their lives, sang sad blind songs with them, and later put these sad tunes into his own music performance.
Peter not only grew up to be a famous musician, but also regained his sight spiritually. He was able to overcome the darkness because he was close to the people and understood their thoughts and feelings as well as their joys and sorrows.
