Jackie meets Xiao Huang Qi, a blind singer.

by Li Meng

As early as in 1990, fans of the song "Sailor" had known it was from a disabled Taiwanese singer named Zheng Zhi Hua.  After ten years, another blind singer will come into the limelight.  His name is Xiao Huang Qi.  On October 26, he will bring out his own special edition and begin a promotional tour among several cities, including Sheng Yang.

Although he isn't able to see the colors of the world, Xiao Huang Qi is not pessimistic.  Music has become an indispensable part of his life.  About his own music, he said, "Just because I cannot see doesn't mean I can't see the world.  It may help my style of creativity be unconstrained.  Therefore, my song is a world in which you can hear, smell, touch.  It's simple and direct."  It can be said that music has opened a new window to the inspirations of life for Xiao Huang Qi.  He lets in the light by singing, uncovering a riotously colorful beautiful world.

It's hard to imagine that Xiao Huang Qi would excell in even more than music.  But he also is quite good at Judo.  He has represented Taiwan in the international asian Judo [disability] competition, and won the bronze medal. [names other competitions]  He is full of energy and when standing in the athletic field, you don't see him as a blind person who cannot see the world.

If winning "Best Lyrics" award and "Best Chinese Artist" awards is a good start, then international star Jackie Chan lending his support gives Xiao Huang Qi even more self confidence.  At the CD release news conference, Big Brother Jackie Chan personally gave Xiao Huang Qi more the reason to feel confindent.  Jackie said he himself liked his music very much. This being his debut made Xiao Huang Qi feel very moved.

Besides holding a new release conference, Xiao Huang Qi will also go to the city's school for the deaf and mute, and and do something from the heart there for the children with disabilities

[note: sometimes schools for the "deaf and mute" may include any disabled child, inclding the blind]
