Netizens have praised Yu Tiantian from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, for insisting on dancing for 15 years despite having a hearing disability from birth, People's Daily reported on Sunday.
Born in the 1990s, Yu's world has been silent since she was a year old when her family found she couldn't hear any voices. Through touching her mother's throat to feel how the muscles affect the voice, Yu learned to speak.
However, like any other girl, Yu has a natural love for beauty. Watching others dance in a club during her childhood, Yu developed a deep affection for dance, although she lacked a formal dance background.
After graduating from high school, Yu was admitted to the Zhengzhou Normal University School of Special Education, majoring in dance. It was only when her university life started she began to change, making friends and embracing a colorful world.
Learning dance posed a great challenge for Yu. "I can't hear the music, so I have to feel rhythm in my heart. I follow the instructor and dance. I practice basic skills every day. However, mastering the technique of those horizontal and vertical crosses was a struggle, and the pain in my feet and ankles often made me shed tears," said Yu.
After entering university, Yu has found her own pace and danced with all her heart. She and her roommates won first prize in a dance competition. Encouraged by it, she began to take part in various competitions.
Makeup is another hobby of Yu. After college, she defined her skills. Despite initial confusion, Yu quickly became skilled at creating stunning looks.
Yu shares much in common with her roommates, all of whom have hearing disabilities. Within a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, their relationship grew much stronger. Gradually, they had the idea to share their stories with more people.
Yu and her roommates posted their experiences online, and answered many interesting questions, such as "How do hearing-impaired people get up on time?" and "Are hearing-impaired people divided into extroverts and introverts?". Yu also posted videos showing how people with hearing disabilities gossip in sign language, which proves to be livelier than verbal conversation.
With her account gaining popularity, Yu has become more confident and even has her own fanbase. "People with hearing disabilities can also record their lives and help others. No one is born with discrimination. Eliminating bias can start by seeing our daily lives," she added.
Praise and wishes have poured in for her positive attitude toward life and the spirit of perseverance. One comment reads, "Fantastic! Cheer up!" Another said, "I wish for this pretty girl to be kind and courageous always, and shine like a star."
