At a recent national showcase for China's youth bands music festival in Wenchang, Hainan province, a disability-inclusive band from Yunyang Special Education Center in Chongqing captivated the audience with a stunning performance.
This remarkable group, known as the Firefly Galaxy Project, includes Yueyue (alias), an eight-year-old bassist, and Xiaoyu (alias), a nine-year-old guitarist, both with hearing impairments. Ruirui (alias), the 14-year-old drummer, is on the autism spectrum, while Xinxin (alias), the nine-year-old lead vocalist and keyboard player, is partially sighted.
