Though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She fell in love with music when she was young. She began to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion. Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, was a music teacher in a primary school and helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly. Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself. “After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said,“As I’ve been practising so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practising.” In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow two famous musicians Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan from the Central Conservatory of Music and study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.
