Info: Thousand-hand Bodhisattva
The performance of Thousand-hand Bodhisattva dance performed by 21 hearing impaired girls and boys at the 2005 CCTV Spring Festival Gala caused a nationwide sensation.

The entire audience was thrilled by the synchronized movements dancers, who performed with exquisite grace and precision, even though they couldn't hear the music.

They all turned on their mobile phones immediately after leaving the stage with almost as much uniformity as they performed their spectacular dance. Chen Cen was among them. "Each of us was immersed in cheerful text messages from all over, from our family members, teachers, classmates and friends," she said in sign language as she sat next to me. "I received some messages sent by my dad, mom and younger brother. They all were excited to see me on TV. Mom even cried for joy."
