"When in contact with them, although I can't hear them, it is the time when my heart is the most peaceful. For me, it is a process of spiritual cleansing." Zhao Lin said, "It is not so much that I helped them, it is better to say that they helped me .”
Zhao Lin, a teacher from Taiyuan Normal University, has been volunteering to help deaf children choreograph dances for more than 20 years and help them step onto a bigger stage. She hopes to create more works to express their aspirations.
There is no sound in their world, and they cannot feel the ups and downs of music; they have no words in their lives, but they firmly pursue their dance dreams.
The reporter walked into the Taiyuan School for the Deaf and captured the moments of silent rehearsal of the deaf children in the school.
When I saw Zhao Lin, she was instructing the children to rehearse the dance "Lanterns and Hopes for Children", and there were 4 teachers who were in charge of sign language guidance and cooperated with the teaching together.

There is no music, only the sound of "snapping" and the friction of bodies touching the floor.
During the rehearsal, the children's eyes never leave the teacher, and follow the ups and downs of the teacher's gestures, doing every movement.
"There must be something in the eyes, the body should keep up with the person you are thinking about, every movement has a subtext, do it again and again" "The intensity should be stronger, the emotions should come from the inside out, and the expression on the face should have a sense of extension" "Believe in yourself You are the best"... When I saw Zhao Lin, she was instructing the children to rehearse the dance "Lanterns and Hopes for Children Returning". In the four corners of the classroom, there were 4 teachers who were in charge of sign language guidance and cooperated with the teaching together.
In 1999, under the leadership of her teacher Wang Xiufang, the young Zhao Lin was exposed to special education for the first time.
"The first time I get along with these children, the deepest impression is that they are very simple and innocent, because they can't hear, so their eyes are always on you, and they won't be distracted during rehearsal." Zhao Lin told reporters, Since then, she has become associated with special education and embarked on the road of volunteering to choreograph dances for deaf children.
During the rehearsal, the children's eyes never leave the teacher, and follow the ups and downs of the teacher's gestures, doing every movement.

"The Source of the Yellow River", "The Sunshine Here Is Equally Brilliant", "Dear Your Eggs Down the River to Wash Clothes"... For more than 20 years, Zhao Lin has participated in the choreography of nearly 20 dances. The wonderful dance performances not only won many awards for the children, It also makes them shine in the silent world.
"Among these dance creations, the most impressive is "The Sunshine Here Is Equally Brilliant", which was specially created for the children of the Taiyuan School for the Deaf at that time, reflecting their life and study." Zhao Lin said, "There is also an original work with Shanxi region The style of the work "Professional Goes to the River to Wash Clothes", the children competed with normal people on the same stage, stood out, and the response was very enthusiastic."

For deaf children, dancing not only gives them more opportunities to get in touch with the outside world, but also gives them great encouragement.
During the rehearsal, there are often children watching and trying to join the team; there are also students who regard dancing as their own career, join the China Disabled Persons Art Troupe, and insist on dancing.
"Actually, when children see the performance on the stage, they yearn for it in their hearts, and they are willing to participate in this group."
Teaching and leading, the persistence and inheritance of special education has never been a single action.
Zhao Lin introduced that at first, she was exposed to special education with teacher Wang Xiufang, and now she leads the team to continue dance creation.
"I am a teacher at Taiyuan Normal University. Every year, students from the school come to the school for the deaf to participate in internship activities and conduct some classroom teaching."
"Special education not only depends on individual efforts, but also depends on the support of social attention and functional departments." Zhao Lin said that after a good start, there must be healthy development. I hope more people will pay attention to special children and give them support. , to help them get on more stages.
