Many girls have dreams of dancing and are shining on the stage.
For Zheng Xinyi, who was born at the grassroots level, this dream is a bit extravagant. She lives in a subdivided room about 100 feet with her parents, and she doesn't even dare to stretch too much for fear of encountering crowded furniture.
Zheng Xinyi said that dancing makes her feel happy, especially every time she completes the last movement of the dance, she feels very successful.
She most want to have the home side able to see the action of the full-length mirror, so that the home will be able to delve into action "sometimes recite in a dream dance moves!"
She and the other 69 children came from the same grass-roots, community-based organizations will participate in Hong Kong The poverty alleviation charity concert jointly organized by the association and the Xinmin Lions Club raised funds for the social association to deal with the 4,000 new cases of assistance during the epidemic.
The public can get concert tickets through donations.

Zheng Xinyi is 11 years old and is a member of the school dance team.
She said that when she was about 3 years old, she was taken by her mother to an interest class to learn dance. Since then, she has been full of interest in dancing. "Dancing will make you happy! Especially when you jump to the end, you will feel satisfied when you are in the ending pose."
She lives in a subdivided room of 100 feet. There is no condition at home for her to practice the dance she just learned. Although there is a full-length mirror, it is completely blocked by debris.
At school, the teacher will instruct the dance movements, but every time before class, he must first stretch the muscles at home. "Don’t dare to do too much. You have to sing quietly with the buried music. I have tried to get a complaint from the next door."
More than two years ago, Xinyi was selected as the "Poverty Alleviation Charity Concert" and worked hard to practice Mongolian dance for more than 3 minutes.
She said that she wanted to have a mirror in her home where she could see her dance clearly. Now she can't practice at home, so she closed her eyes and imagined the real dance moves.
The squatter dared to practice the flute softly while the neighbor was out
Peng Baitao, who lives with his mother in a squatter room in Fanling, is also 11 years old this year. Every time he comes to Sham Shui Po to learn the Chinese music ensemble, he has to go back and forth 4 times, which takes 3 hours.
But he didn't find it hard, only that it was fun to learn Dongxiao ensemble.
The soundproofing effect of squatters is worse than that of ordinary squatter houses, and the neighbors will know if there is any movement.
Peng Baitao said that he had to take advantage of his neighbors to go out before daring to practice the flute "softly".
He was not nervous about performing in front of nearly a thousand audiences in the cultural center, but rather excited.
Perhaps because living in the suburbs is not taken seriously, I am proud of being seen on the stage.
Wang Jingsong, the teacher in charge of Chinese music training, pointed out that although he teaches grass-roots children, he does not feel that they are different from children from ordinary or middle-class families.

The epidemic has ravaged Hong Kong for more than a year, and nearly 280,000 workers are still unemployed and underemployed.
When hands are stopped, many families can only save money or even borrow money to survive.
Among these poor families, 250,000 poor children face difficulties together.
In order to help impoverished children have equal opportunities to learn music, the Hong Kong Association of Community Organizations, funded by the Chow Tai Fook Charity Fund, established a grassroots children's center and grassroots children's music endeavour project to form Chinese orchestras, choruses, and dance troupes for grassroots and subdistrict children.
Grassroots children practiced hard during the epidemic, and finally stepped onto the stage on November 24 to raise funds through the "Life Valuable Charity Concert" to help poor families tide over the difficulties.
Social Association Shi Lishan: About 4000 more requests for help after the outbreak
Shi Lishan, deputy director of the Community Organization Association, said that since the epidemic, about 4,000 new cases have been asked for help. Because of the epidemic, the funds raised from fundraising are only 60 to 70% of the previous year, making it difficult to cope with the expenses.
She hopes that this fundraising concert can raise 1 million yuan for charity, and also give the participating children the opportunity to stand in front of the public and give them more choices in their future life.
