Dear Leehom fans,
致力宏的歌迷朋友們,

Hello, my name is Jasmine. I am 15 years old and I am from Hong Kong. I would like to tell you my story.
大家好, 我的名字叫做Jasmine。我今年15歲,來自于香港。我想告訴你我的故事。

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's fans can play the piano well. But perhaps, I'm different from most piano-playing Leehom fans, because you see, I'm blind.
我是力宏的超級粉絲。跟大家的原因一樣,我愛他的音樂和才華。但是還有一些其他的東西--因為力宏,我学会了弹钢琴。也許大家会说“没什么大不了的！” 毕竟,我相信有許多力宏的歌迷可以彈得一手好琴。但也許，我不同于她們，因为她們看得見,而我看不見。

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.
我從出生就是盲的。你可以想像得到生活在一个完全黑暗的世界嗎？从未见过任何颜色？我甚至無法想象草是什麼样子，绿色是什麼顏色。黑色是唯一我所知道的。

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.
我生活了15年，毫無目的地生活着。我一直感到不安。也许我看起來十分脆弱，但要變得堅強是多麼的困難。突然有一天，我听到了音乐--來自力宏的音乐,一首叫作“永远的第一天”的歌。我永远不会忘记當我听到他的音乐的那一刻。那是一首充满希望的歌曲,多麼的纯淨與美丽。我深深的被他的音樂啟發與感动着。所以，我告訴我自己，我也想要作音乐。

I took play-by-ear lessons. It was so hard at first. I can still recall I frequently broke down while trying to practice. 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.
我報名了靠耳朵聆聽與練習的鋼琴課程。剛開始的過程是如此的艰辛。我还记得我時常在練習的過程當中感到沮喪。我不能彈好鋼琴。我如何能夠？我是盲人。我看不到。但我常常會想起力宏的音乐。他给了我堅持下去的力量。

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.
一直到今天，我可以很自豪地说，至少，我會弹钢琴。力宏教會了我,彈琴的時候,我们不需要用眼睛,反而是要用心去感受音乐。他是對的。

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 precious one, and one that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
我永远不会忘记力宏和他的音乐給予我的影響。他给我希望，以及一個生存下去的目标。他启发了我制作音乐的夢想,在那幾刻，我可以“看見”。他送給我一份最珍贵的礼物，我會用我的余生好好地珍惜。

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
我妹妹希望所有歌迷,以及所有人知道, 力宏是怎樣特殊的一个人。可以的话，请您把它張貼在您的网站中。感激不盡。

Note: This letter was printed out on 2000-11-19. Today, she is 25, 10 years after her letter. I was so touched by her spirit, and felt so guilty for giving up my electone lessons after my graduation. I hope Leehom can read it, one sincere letter from his truly fan.
記錄:这封信是於二000年十一月十九日打印出来。10年后的今天, 她25歲了。我深深地被她的精神感动,也為我在畢業後就放棄的電子琴課程感到歉疚。我希望力宏能够读到這封信,一封來自他忠實歌迷發自內心所寫出來最真摯的信。

Let's learn from Jasmine and cheers for her!!!
让我们向Jasmine的精神学习,也一起為她欢呼吧！
