来自四川绵阳的熊翎好自幼全盲，她从六岁开始学习钢琴。对于她而言，却不能像其他孩子一样在学琴的时候看谱子看键盘，而是要用心记住曲谱和每个音符对应的琴键位置。面对88键的钢琴，最初她只能靠老师把手指硬扳成弹钢琴的样子。而为了熟悉键盘和曲谱，她每天花两三个小时来记忆训练。不能看谱子，她全靠耳朵听，把听到的旋律弹出来。

Xiong was born blind and started to play the piano at the age of 6. Unlike others who can read the music score she must remember the piece by heart, and, being unable to see the keyboard, she must remember, exactly, where each note is located on the piano. Learning to play the piano, which usually has 88 keys, is not easy for people who are visually challenged. At first, her teacher helped her place her hands and fingers properly.

熊翎好的比赛视频在微博上的浏览次数已经超过了1000万次，很多网友都被她的勇气和乐观感动。比赛评委也认为她的表演技巧比同年龄段的选手要好。
 

A video clip of Xiong playing during the competition, published last Friday on China Daily's Sina Weibo account, was viewed more than 10 million times, and many internet users said they were touched by Xiong's bravery and optimism. Judges said she exhibited better skills than the average player in her age group.





妈妈在熊翎好很小的时候就发现了她的音乐天赋，3岁的熊翎好已经可以在家里电子琴上弹儿歌了。她说，自己通常每天练琴6-8小时，因为需要反复的肌肉记忆来弹奏出正确的音符。“我留意每个乐句的每一处细节，要十分精确的控制自己的手掌、手腕和手指。”然而，这些困难阻挡不住她追寻音乐梦想的脚步。熊翎好在12岁就通过了钢琴十级，并获得了不少奖项。

Xiong's mother discovered her daughter had a talent for music early in her childhood. At age 3, she could play children's songs on a small electric piano at home. "Very often I practice six to eight hours every day because I need repeated muscle memory to find the right keys," Xiong said. "I pay attention to each minor step in each phrase and need to be fairly precise with the angle of how I control my hands, wrists and fingers." Yet these difficulties did not stop her from pursuing her dreams. She attained a Level 10 piano certificate at the age of 12, and won one prize after another.

据红星新闻报道，2013年，11岁的熊翎好以一首《彩云追月》获得香港世界青少年“金紫荆花奖”音乐、舞蹈、器乐、美术艺术大赛最高奖；2017年以一首原创歌曲《梦中的小狗》登上了江苏卫视《歌声的翅膀》节目；2018年获“李斯特纪念奖”香港国际钢琴公开赛四川赛区选拔赛自由选曲少年组一等奖……

不过，对于获奖，熊翎好却说在学习音乐的过程中，从没有追逐过奖项和名声，而是对钢琴自然而然的爱。“像贝多芬一样，我希望通过钢琴传递出逆境中的希望、情绪和对生活的热爱。”

"I never pursued prizes or fame while learning music. Instead, I was totally compelled by my natural love for the piano," explained Xiong, a high school student at the Chengdu Special Education School. "Like Beethoven, I wanted to express hope, emotions and passion for life through the piano in adverse conditions."

她还说，“钢琴是我最好的朋友。钢琴伴随我一路上的起起伏伏，给我的生活带来了快乐。”

"The piano is my best friend," said Xiong. "The piano has accompanied me throughout my ups and downs in its own way. It brings so much pleasure into my life."

2017年，熊翎好在一少儿音乐节目中演绎了一首原创歌曲《梦中的小狗》。她表示，这首歌曲的灵感来自就读于特殊教育学校的同学们。她说希望在钢琴之路上继续前行，能帮助更多同伴。

She has composed several songs, including one called the Little Dog in Dream, where she imagined her life with the company of a guide dog. Lyrics like "blue skies and rainbow slides" were used by the girl, who said she could "see" the world through music.

熊翎好还有个大学梦，如今高二的她将在明年参加高考。她憧憬能考上北京的大学学习音乐表演或音乐制作。
