On Christmas and New Year's
Day, the nuns planned one month ahead of schedule to rehearse programs for the
rehabilitated ones, because every year the Hanzhong Central Centre provides a
variety of programs, and the rehabilitated are rarely involved. This year the
sisters advocated the personal participation of the rehabilitated people in the
celebration of cultural activities. Sisters took the Yangko, Square Dance,
Allegro, comic and comedy information, and went out to find suitable
candidates. However, their excitement was greeted with cool response as they
either escaped or looked for a variety of reasons to reject the invitation. The
sisters came back with disappointment.
We also understand that
since they have been diagnosed with leprosy, they have been abandoned by their
families and discriminated against by society. This has become a lingering
shadow of their lingering mind. In order to allow them to build self-confidence
and eliminate their fears, the sisters mustered courage to go out and find the
potential actors again. When the sisters went into the sick patient area, there
was a group of young people. The sisters went to each door to invite, giving
them mental support and arranged the rehearsal program to be hosted in
their hospital. In fact, their lonely heart is eager to sympathy, friendship
and affection. The sisters went to accompany, support, appreciate and encourage
them every afternoon from 3 to 6 o'clock for the middle-aged yangko dance
rehearsal, and 7 to 9 pm for the young people rehearsing square dance. The
rehabilitated people were all in high spirits, and the program was smoothly
carried out.
Applauses and cheers added
to their self-confidence, so that they broke through the deep self-limitations
set in their hearts, lifted the chains tying them, and regained the inner
freedom and joy!
