13-year-old vision-impaired girl Chen Lin amazed the audience with fast-moving fingers precisely on the keyboard Thursday at a concert held in Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province.
"Her fingers were dancing, and her fingers were singing," one audience member said.
Chen Lin was born blind due to cryptophthalmos, a rare congenital eye defect. However, she has found meaning in life by playing the piano. "Though I can't see the world with my eyes, I want to be heard by the world by playing the piano," she said.
