Unfortunately, there is no if. The accident took her legs and ruined her chance to dance in her life, but it didn't kill Ada.
Ada has not become depressed. Although there was no hope of recovery, she did not give up dancing and turned to dance education to water the dreams of more people. He became the "first person in China" who studied dance from the perspective of body micro-language.
She also actively participated in public welfare undertakings and established the "Ada Special Fund for Literature and Art" to help children, orphans and children of migrant workers in poor areas get in touch with dance art.
I said I have two legs now, one is dancing and the other is charity.
I was obsessed with dancing since I was a child and became a professional dancer.
Ada was born in Hohhot. He is a judge and his mother is a doctor. His highly educated parents are stricter with Ada than other children.
She came into contact with art at the age of three, and later studied violin. She has talent and temperament since she was a child.
At the age of 9, Ada began to learn dance. Since then, she has been out of control and immersed herself in dance learning. Even her mother described her as "fascinated".
It's not easy to practice dancing. Children get up early and love the darkness. Leg press, Xia Yima and lacing, who never stop in the dance studio, complete difficult movements that others can't complete at all. Few children can persist voluntarily.
Ada gritted his teeth and insisted. She regards dance as a career she loves all her life and strives for the highest level.
So in the eyes of outsiders, Ada's journey can be said to be smooth sailing. She went to the middle school attached to Beijing Dance Academy, entered the classical dance department of Beijing Dance Academy, and stayed as a professional dancer after graduation. For other people who learn dance, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Ada seems to have done it easily.
Only parents know that their daughter has suffered a lot. Mother Liu said that at first, she was "afraid to watch the exercises, which made people feel unbearable". How many times did she want to bring her daughter back and change to another school, but seeing her great enthusiasm, she forbeared to go back.
Before 2008, Ada caused a sensation in the dance world. Her works "Rouge Kou", "Moon in the Water" and "Three Friends in the Cold Year" by Yang li Ping and Tan Yuanyuan are all classics in the later dance circles. With her excellent dancing ability, she won many national awards such as "Wenhua Award" and "Five One Project Award", and became an excellent dancer at a young age.
At that time, Ada was presented with an incomparably wide Avenue of Stars. After years of training, she may become a "national treasure" dancer.
Zhang Yimou chose Ada to perform solo at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, but accidentally lost his legs.
In 2008, China successfully applied for the Olympic Games, and the quadrennial Olympic Games was held in Beijing, which cheered the whole country.
As the first act of this wonderful and grand event, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is particularly important.
Not long ago, Ada received a phone call from the operation center of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. The other end of the phone said, "Director Zhang Yimou invited you to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and give a personal performance ...".
Ada, who hung up the phone, was immersed in great joy. This is a great opportunity. The solo performance of the Olympic Games is not only her personal dance, but also a dance that represents the face of the country.
This dance is called "Silk Road", with only 1 min 37 seconds, but for this short 1 min 37 seconds, Ada trained for half a year and danced thousands of times.
She gets up at five o'clock every morning and practices until late at night. She strives for perfection in every tiny movement, revising it over and over again until it is perfect. In order to look beautiful, I strictly control my diet, only eat a certain amount of food every day, and practice dancing the rest of the time.
Jump and jump until the rehearsal of the Bird's Nest.
At that time, Ada danced on a three-meter-high electronic paper towel and finished the last movement. He has to go to the platform to complete the exit, and the platform should cooperate with her just in time.
Unexpectedly, the staff was one second later than the scheduled time because of a mistake.
At that second, Ada's left foot couldn't step on the platform, and the electronic paper towel on her right foot had been removed. She fell off the platform three meters high.
The huge bird's nest was silent, and Ada lay quietly on the ground. Zhang Yimou said in an interview: "Tens of thousands of people stopped and the music stopped."
I don't know who shouted "help!" Before people wake up and take Ada to the hospital.
The next afternoon, after a brief coma, Ada woke up. The first thing he said when he woke up was "Will the performance start at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon?"
Yes, the performance will start at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, but Ada can't.
Falling from the sky caused her spine to dislocate and she was paralyzed. Forget acting, she can't even stand up.
"New legs", one is dancing and the other is public welfare.
Since then, Ada has been sent to the intensive care unit.
When Zhang Yimou went to the hospital to visit her, she gave her a notebook, which read: "Ada, you are the pain of my life!" " ",Zhang Yimou consciously owe her, very guilty.
Although some people blame Zhang Yimou for this, thinking that he ruined Ada, Ada didn't blame anyone. She worked hard to do rehabilitation exercises and longed for the day when she stood up from her wheelchair.
After all, miracles didn't happen. Ada can't stand up anymore. From the autumn of 2008 to the Spring Festival of 2009, she gritted her teeth and insisted on recovering every day. Later, she had to tell herself: "Impossible is impossible. Go on in a wheelchair, don't lie to yourself. "
Ada's parents accompanied him day and night and gave him great spiritual support and encouragement. Ada decided to rally, and she wouldn't give in to fate, let alone give up her life-long dance career.
After coming out of the hospital, Ada set himself a new goal. She returned to Beiwu and became a teacher. She began to devote herself to studying the hand movements of China classical dance. The research involves three systems: Chinese sign language, Buddhist handprint, Peking Opera and Liyuan Opera for the deaf. She was admitted to the China Art Institute as a doctoral student majoring in dance.
This is the first time that someone has studied dance from the perspective of body micro-language, which is a brand-new development in domestic academic circles.
In addition to his own research, Ada also taught all the dance skills he knew to the students, and continued his dream of dancing that he could not complete.
She also took an active part in public welfare activities, and set up the "Ada Special Fund for Literature and Art" to let more children who have no contact with dance because of family or material conditions see the beauty of dance and help them improve their lives and learn knowledge.
As she said, "I have two legs now, one is dancing and the other is charity." I am very happy on the road. "
This is what Ada said with a smile when she was interviewed by some media about her mental journey after falling off the stage.
Ada didn't complain about the injustice of fate, didn't cry, didn't want to die, she kept her inner elegance and peace, still engaged in the career she loved, and always kept her passion for life.
As long as you are strong inside and don't give up easily, Ada can still dance on the stage of life.
