Miracles come from family ties. Lai Jiajun's parents devoted all their efforts to raising and cultivating him. Lai Jiajun was born prematurely for more than two months, and his body temperature after birth was only 24 degrees. The doctor advised Jiajun's father, Lai Gehong, to give up, but Lai Gehong said, "I'll pay for it, and you can save it. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad." I feel clear about taking responsibility."
Jiajun was lucky enough to survive, but he became blind due to oxygen poisoning. Lai Gehong and his wife tried every means to treat their child's eyes, but failed. Instead, they spent all their savings on rescuing and treating the child's eyes due to premature birth, and the fate of the family was completely changed. In order to make money, the couple set up a street stall and opened a children's clothing store. When Jiajun reached the age of going to school, Lai Gehong gave up his career and studied with his children full time.
He rented a private house near the school for the blind. He and Jiajun lived and ate here on weekdays, and only went home to reunite with his wife on weekends. At the same time, Jiajun has been studying piano with the support of piano shops and enthusiastic companies. When he was 10 years old, he passed the amateur level 10.
When it comes to educating children, Lai Gehong and his wife can be said to be models of reasonableness. They never reprimand Jiajun. Lai Gehong is Jiajun's father and his mentor. For the sake of his son, Lai Gehong gave up his career and family business in his hometown in Hangzhou, and left his hometown with his wife and children to come to Beijing, just so that Jiajun could receive the best piano education.
He has been taking care of Jiajun's study and life full-time for many years, and the father and son are inseparable. Whenever he goes out, he always comes to Gehong to hold Jiajun's hand while walking. Even at home, the father and son's hands are always tightly clasped together. Lai Jiajun maintains a very regular schedule. In the morning, I went to a school for the blind to take cultural classes, and in the afternoon and evening I practiced piano for 6 or 7 hours. I sometimes studied English and downloaded original music from the Internet. Every week, he also takes two piano lessons from Professor Mao Dongli of the Central Conservatory of Music. If there is a problem, sit down and talk face to face with Jiajun. Both sides will present the facts and reason to see who can convince the other. Although Jiajun is young, his speech and behavior are very decent, and he is much more mature than other children of the same age.
Lai Gehong learned about Professor Zhou Guangren’s name from the cover of the music CD. He mustered up great courage and took Jiajun straight to the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. He waited outside Professor Zhou’s office to ask for help. At first sight.
Professor Zhou listened to Jiajun’s playing and was moved by his experience and talent. He offered to help Jiajun contact the best teachers and give him the opportunity to receive professional training from China’s highest music academy. This is the opportunity that many people have dreamed of. With the efforts of the worker Lai Gehong and the blind boy Lai Jiajun, the dream came true.
In 2005, Lai Gehong and his family of three left their hometown of Hangzhou and moved to Beijing, just so that Jiajun could receive the best piano education. Lai Gehong still takes care of Jiajun's study and daily life full-time, while her mother Cui Li drives an elevator in the university to earn some part-time money. Coupled with funding from the Disabled Persons' Federation and well-meaning enterprises, Lai's family has settled down and has been living in Beijing for six years. Today, Jiajun receives education from the Middle School Affiliated to the Central Conservatory of Music and the Beijing School for the Blind. His future is unfolding more and more clearly.
