Lazily I zapped the remote control channel to MetroTV.
A little girl dressed in pink playing a Mozart composition in piano. Nothing unusual. But wait.....
Subhanallah. She was Hee Ah Lee.
"The Four Fingered Pianist" who was performing in Jakarta for a fundraising charity for disabled people in Indonesia several days back. I read the news. But I never expect I would feel this moved seeing her playing.Hee Ah was born 21 years ago with only 4 fingers.. two on each hand -- some called it "a-lobster-clawed-syndrom" -- and with no legs under her kneecaps.
Throughout the program smiles never leave her sweet face. She greeted the audience with great confidence, conveying the soul of her performance title: "Sharing the Strength Of Love".
"Sharing The Strength Of Love" .. so true.
So for those who missed the news and her performance, here I would like to share with you the excerpts:
She is now a famous person in her country and other countries as well. But mind you, it was not without struggle. Watching her life line, I found her as very inspirational.
"Nothing is impossible if you put your heart and mind to it"
She taught us about patience, hard work, believe in oneself, the power of love, and above all that faith to God Almighty.
Whenever I was down, I always remember this girl dressed in pink. Her name is Hee Ah Lee "The Four Fingered Pianist"
Salam Damai.
