A FANS LETTER!
I am Cammelia, and I have a message from my sister. I hope you can put this
message on your website.
Dear Leehom fans,
Hello, my name is Jasmine. I am 15 years old and I am from Hong Kong. I would like to tell you my story.
I am a big fan of Leehom, for the same reasons as all of you, I love his music and his talent. But there is something else. Because of Leehom, I learn to play the piano. Maybe all of you will say "no big deal!" After all, I'm sure that a lot of Leehom fans can play the piano well. But perhaps, I'm different from most piano-playing Leehom fans, because you see, I'm blind. I have been blind since birth.
Can you imagine what is like to live in a world of total darkness? Never seen any colours? I cannot even imagine what grass looks like, what green is like. Black is the only colour I have ever known.
I lived 15 years, with no real purpose in life. I was constantly upset. Maybe I seemed weak, but it's so hard to be strong.
Then, one day, I heard music. Music by Leehom. A song called "Forever's First Day". I will never forget the second I heard his music. It was filled with hope and song. It was pure music, so beautiful. I was inspired, and touched deeply by his music. So I said to myself, I wanted to make music, too.
I took play-by-ear lessons. It was so hard at first. I can still recall I frequently broke down while trying to practise. I cannot play well. How can I? I'm blind. I cannot see. But often, I will think of Leehom's music. He
gave me the strength to continue.
Till today, I'm proud to say, at least, I can play the piano. After all,
Leehom had taught me, while playing, we don't use our eyes. We feel the music with our hearts. He's right.
I will never forget what Leehom and his music has done for me. He gave me hope, and a goal in life. He inspired me to make music, and for those few moments, I can "see". His gift was a precious one, and one that I will
cherish for the rest of my life.

My sister wanted all the fans to know, and all the people to know, what a
special person Leehom Wang truly is. If possible, please put this on your
website. I thank you, Yeong Pey Jung.
Yours sincerely
