Extremely sparse, Lee Ah Lee


I wanna share some story that maybe will open your eyes and be grateful of who you are. According to my hobby play the piano, I wonder to play one of my fav song but it was too hard so I gave up my self and better to play the other easy song. But then, I remembered this women, Lee Ah Lee. The girl who inspired me of not giving up in play piano, well actually it's bigger than that. Something about "no pain, no gain" and if you have a dream you've to run for it no matter what in condition are you just forgot the obstacles and go for it!
When I was in junior highschool, it was 2007 if I wasn't mistaken, Lee Ah Lee came to Indonesia for her piano concert tour in Asia. My mom, who always forced me to play piano asked me and dad to saw her concert. I was agree with her idea because of this women has only four fingers to play piano. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? I'm luckily have ten fingers but I quit learned classical piano in 4 years cause I'm fed up with that theoritical bullshit things in classic, but I change my genre into pop cause it's more fun and umm easy :p And yes, Lee Ah Lee gimme her sparkle when she played the piano. When this korean lady entered the stage, the clapping hands were filled Balai Kartini room. Even though she's physically defect, she already gained international recognition in playing piano. From she was born, she suffered down syndrome and both of her hands has only two fingers. The fingers deformity like this is usually called lobster claw syndrome, the shaped were like the tweezers of lobster and there's no palm of hands. She was also born with legs only to a point of knees, so she can't step on the standard pedal of piano. Therefore, she has the special pedal made only for her size. I was surprise but sad at the same time, cause she was like the normal women with her beautiful smile, said hi to the audiences with her korean english accent. Very funny and entertaining, but hey when I looked her fingers, I internally speak to my self, is she really played the piano? like seriously? Then she pushed the toots of piano for real, and the first song was "Love Story". I was freeze at the moment, and so does my parents I guess. And those four fingers really did entertained us in I forgot how long the concert was, but yes, she really did played it and that international recognition was not true, she got the Earth recognition in my opinion. She got the technique, she got the style, the musicality, the dynamics and those every ten fingers musician has, I recognize that she has it as well! Then, she introduced her mom, the powerful lady who raise her with full of love and acceptance. The video about her lifetime was played, her piano teacher is a really strict person, Lee Ah Lee had to practice 10 hours per day. Cause her difference with others required her to practice more and more. Her mother also strict about this one, she pulled Lee Ah  Lee to piano and forced her to practice. And the result is, we can see now, all the effort clearly answered, Lee Ah Lee become one of the great pianist known worldwide. Now hehe, I looked up myself and definetely acknowledge the fact that I quit classic class before giving my all effort on it. At least, yeah thank God at least I still played it until now :) Even though it more pop and easy music. You already know the story of Lee Ah Lee and I don't want to be so super to motivate you guys. Just gained what I shared above, if you like it thankyou.. Hopefully we can be as success as her, remember we 've 10 fingers to show it.
