"Post-90s" blind boy Chen Changhai is a massage therapist.
In 2011, Chen Changhai, who entered the blind massage class of Guizhou Shenghua Vocational College, met blind classmates who had the same dream of music. They often sang together in their spare time.
After graduation, in order to continue the dream, under the call of Chen Changhai, everyone gathered in Guiyang in 2018. Based on making a living from massage for the blind, the band "Zheergen" was established. The band currently consists of 3 blind massage therapists. Formed with 1 delivery guy.
Buying second-hand musical instruments from the Internet and donating musical instruments through kind-hearted people, everyone started a musical journey.
Compared with ordinary people, because the members of the band have not received professional music training, coupled with visual impairment, ordinary training and rehearsal are much more difficult.
With the encouragement of Chen Changhai, everyone overcame the resistance of lack of congenital conditions, and gradually explored a musical style with a strong regional style. The experience, perception and longing for the light in life were integrated into the music, and the music was recognized by the audience. .
The band has been established for more than 4 years, and the stage goal of the band has not changed, that is, to be able to release an album.
In reality, economic difficulties have become a stumbling block for the band to achieve this goal, but everyone has not given up, saving money, performing offline activities... They want to realize the "album" dream through their own efforts.
In the view of the captain Chen Changhai, music has infinite power. He hopes to lead more blind friends to participate in the society on an equal footing through music and enjoy social entertainment equally.
