Remember Susan Boyle, the frumpy Britain’s Got Talent contestant who wowed the world with her voice and got 6 Million hits on You Tube? Well, here’s another phenomenal talent video, with nearly as many views… but that you’ve never heard of.
Why? Because most of the views are from China.
Here’s my shortened version of the backstory that’s making the rounds:
She was a dancer; lost her arm in an accident, went into depression. Found refuge in teaching dance to children, but never lost her passion. He was never a dancer; lost a leg in an accident, went into depression. They met, and she made it her mission to help him become positive about life again. Through creativity and determination and practice, they found a way to move together, to music. They struggled, broke up, missed each other, got back together again.
And with the backing of friends and family, decided to enter a dance competition.
Here’s tale of overcoming adversity (if it does not show well on here, view it directly at YouTube)
I am reminded of the wonderful quote by Mary Kay Ash: “If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can’t, you’re right.”
I’m glad they tried.
