"Touch of the Light"

Yesterday, I watched a movie named "Touch of the Light". It is a Taiwanese film about the real story of a young talented piano student, Siang who is blind since his birth.

Siang grew up in a small family in Taiwan. He is blind but still can feel the world by touching and hearing. His family supports him a lot. Siang's mother thinks that Siang is a gift to her because he is so good at playing piano and he is a good kid.

During his childhood, Siang had won a lot of piano competitions in the community that he lives. From the feedback of his classmates and other competitors, Siang felt that his blindness was the reason for his winning. He wanted to be treated as normal and thus he refused to enroll in any competitions anymore.

In his first year of the boarding school life at the University, his classmates from the same faculty (school? I'm not sure what you mean here) always keep their distance from him. He felt being isolated but luckily. He met some nice people like his roommate at the dormitory, members of the interest group (it's gramatically correct, but I don't know what you mean), the music class professor and a shop assistant at the food kiosk. These people made his school life no longer miserable. Because of them, and the support of his mother, Siang found his dream back and also, in a way, he encouraged the shop assistant to chase her dream to be a dancer.

The movie is quite touching and there were lines that touched me a lot. The meaning of one of the lines was similar to this:  In the past, we were followers. Today, we fly our own ways.

(It's always those "little words" that are so hard to get just right. Most of us English speaking natives only know them because it just "sounds right". My hat's off to you (meaning, I have respect for you) for such nice writing. Very well done.
