What the Director Wants to Say
Cited from “Tender transmutation” program article Tender transmutation concert director: Ms. Huang Mei-Ya
{Youth Rock Hope Project} conducted their first music concert in 2010 and this year will be the 3rd year. Still remember, in 2010, chihsheng members eagerly awaited to sing on the stage, sharing their first time experience, sharing their angel voice of faith.
In 2011, they have included on-stage movements and body movements. Singing and moving with rhythm, this requires much more memorizing and concentration for them and they have made it. In 2012, chihsheng members need to do 9 steps. This is their transmutation. This is their talent show progressing with tender.
Sunshine Child lyrics Written by Wang Wei Lian Song Written by Chen You Xing / Huang Mei YaWhen I see everything has its own shadow, I understand everything is in sunshine embraced. When I see your flashing eyes and charming smile, I understand love turns you to be an angel. The kingdom of sunshine, Eternal home, one day, the small seed will germinate grow; singing the forgotten story, blooming the touching flowers, sunshine footsteps create in between light and dark. Sunshine childs, eternal home, one day, winter’s snow will be melted and reveals the shaded land; hand in hand departure, there are love shadows between you and me.
This song made for {Youth Rock Hope Project}. When the song was sung in “Sunshine child” music concert in 2010, it showed we completed 2010’s Youth Rock Hope Project and we have really made it. For helping disable friends completed one year musical tuition and performance, we pass through the heavy “shadows” and walk into the “sunshine”.
Carry on from 2011’s Youth Rock Hope Project and tonight 2012’s Tender transmutation, Chihsheng mentally retarded friends continuously move forward on skills demonstrate performance. Their sounds are more beautiful and their rhythms are better year by year. They are not afraid of putting more efforts than others. They are even enjoying in constant practices.
In accompany with them on the road of skills demonstration performance, we also gradually learn to be strong and be humble little by little calmly. Through the practices with Chicsheng members, there are often female elders around, hugging me and say: “I love you the most”. That sincerely love without disguise teaches me to do everything with true heart and to retain hostility to every little details. This is called “sincere” I think.
During this musical concert preparation, I have chance to read the autobiography of a modern architect – Tadao Ando. A quote in the autobiography touches me deeply. He said “This is my life: seize the tiny glimmer of hope, and live desperately; always facing adversity and find the way to overcome from the thing process.” And he also said “To pursue the light in life, first is to fully notice the shadow of harsh realistic. In order to go beyond it, we need to courage to move forward.”
Chisheng members might be slow in improving. However, to me, that is a kind of tender. Tender and slow transmutation is the most real. Tender transmutation is not only the progress of Chisheng member’s skills demonstrate performance, but also the “Sunshine Wishes” that I want to share with you.
