In 2005, a performance of the classic Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva by hearing-impaired dancers convinced Wei Jingyang that she shouldn't give up on her dream. Despite losing her hearing at the age of one, she had always wanted to be a dancer. Today, as a member of the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe, Jingyang can proudly reflect on appearing at three Paralympic ceremonies and dancing at venues around the world.
