The staff sent Coleman to the piano. Coleman reached for a stool and sat down slowly. Although his movements were slow, his bearing was calm and unhurried. There was no hint of panic that a blind person should have.
After Coleman sat down, he turned to the audience and nodded in greeting.
There was thunderous applause!
They applauded Coleman for overcoming his illness and returning to the stage!
Coleman was wearing a hearing aid and heard some applause. He became excited. He loved this stage and the piano in front of him. It felt great to return to the stage.
Coleman sat up straight and placed his hands gently on the piano keys.
This was Coleman's first time on the big stage after being handicapped. He felt slightly nervous. It was only when a hand patted his shoulder gently that Coleman felt Song Ci's trust and encouragement. He muttered in his heart a few times. "I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm very good. I'm very okay."
