“老师，这西瓜拍起来好像打鼓的声音啊。”9月3日，家住武汉东湖高新区豹澥街道的10岁小学生小宇（化名）等15名孩子，在艺惠文化培训学校老师带领下，去果园体验摘西瓜。前一天，他刚学习了新学期以来的第一节架子鼓公益课，他想早点练好喜欢的鼓曲，争取上台表演。所以，摘西瓜时都联想到打架子鼓。

“Teacher, this watermelon sounds like a drum when Itap it,” said Xiao Yu (pseudonym), a 10-year-old elementary school student living in Baoxie Street, East Lake High-tech Development Zone, Wuhan. On September 3rd, he and 15 other children, led by their teachers from the Yihui Cultural Training School, visited an orchard to experience harvesting their own watermelons. The day prior, he had just attended his first drumming charity class of the semester, and was eager to practice his favorite drumming piece in hopes he could soon perform on stage. While harvesting the watermelons, he could not help but think of playing the drums.

小宇是上述学校架子鼓演奏班的学员之一，学了将近半年。该校有20多名长期学员，都是从街道各社区招募来的困境儿童，他们不用交任何课时费，最久的已在这里学了2年多。该校负责人曹银介绍，从2021年暑假至今，有这些孩子参加的艺术公益课一共开了1588节，这还不包括社会实践课。他说，也许这些孩子以后不会从事艺术相关工作，但只要能通过公益课点亮他们对梦想的渴望和自信，帮他们融入社会，这就够了。

Xiaoyu is a studentin theabove-mentioneddrum performing class, which he has been learning for nearly half a year. The school has over 20 long term students,one of whom has been at the school for over two years. All students are underprivileged children from various communities in the street and are all exempted from tuition fees. Cao Yin, head of the school, introduced that sincethe summer vacation of 2021 to date, a total of 1,588 charity art classes have been held, excludingsocial practice classes. He said, while the students may not engage in art-related job in the future, as long as these classes ignite their dreamsand confidenceandhelp them integrate into society, then their efforts are worthwhile.

喜欢音乐的青年做了一个决定

A Young Music Enthusiast’s Decision to Pursue Charity Work

“我是一个半路出道的音乐爱好青年。”这是8月底曹银接受极目新闻记者采访时给自己贴的标签。

“I’m a young music enthusiast who did not pursue music fulltime.”This is how Cao Yin described himself in an interview with Jimu News at the end of August.

曹银1988年出生在豹澥街道一个农家，家中兄弟三人，父亲2003年去世后，母亲独自将子女抚养成人，所幸得到左邻右舍的帮助，他们一家度过了困难时期，曹银也考上了大学。

In 1988, Cao Yin was born toa farming family in Baoxie Street, bringing the family to a total of three children. After his father passed awayin 2003, his mother raised themalone. Fortunately, with the help of their neighbors, the family overcame their hardships and Cao Yin was admitted to university.

在那些困难的时光里，音乐给了曹银慰藉。“我从小比较喜欢Beyond乐队。”由此他爱上了吉他，2008年开始学习演奏。他参加过学校所在地举办的歌唱大赛、第二十届光谷音乐节、光谷群众文化节等街道巡演，还在关山大道的音乐酒吧驻唱过10个月……算起来，他喜欢音乐有15年了。

During timesof hardship, music providedcomfortto Cao Yin. “I’ve always been a fan of the Beyond band since I was a child,” he said.This led him to develop a love for the guitar, which he began learning to play in 2008.He participated in singing competitions held in his school, as well as events like the 20th Optics Valley Music Festival and Community Cultural Festival. He even worked for 10 months as a singer at a music bar on Guanshan Avenue. In total, his love formusic has spanned15 years.

2020年10月，曹银和几位音乐爱好者合伙在豹澥街道开了一家艺术培训学校。曹银说，他们并没有想赚大钱，因此收费不高，学员最多时达到100人左右，在非授课时段，他们还将场地无偿提供给街道群众文艺团队练习。

In October 2020, Cao Yin and several of his fellow music lovers opened an art training school in Baoxie Street. Cao Yin said they did not intend to make a huge profit off the school, so the fees werenot high. At its peak, they had around 100 students. During non-teaching hours, they also provide the venue free of charge to local community art teams for practice.

2021年暑期，曹银开始免费招收街道各社区的困境孩子学习艺术。说起因缘，他对记者讲了一件小事。2020年12月27日下午4时多，天气有点冷，他正在九龙湖社区门口弹吉他唱歌，一位母亲牵着两个孩子路过，年龄大点的男孩约莫13岁，背着水壶推着童车，听到曹银唱歌就挪不动步了，跟母亲说想学吉他，那位母亲却拒绝了。

In the summer of 2021, Cao Yin began to offer free art lessons to underprivileged children from various communities. Talking about his inspiration behind this decision, he shared a small incident he witnessed with the reporter. On the afternoon of December 27, 2020, just after 4 o’clock, the weather slightly chilly, he was singing and playing the guitar in front of the Jiulong Lake community. A mother walked by with two children. The older boy, who was around 13 years old and carrying a water bottle while pushing a child stroller, could not resist stopping when he heard Cao Yin sing. He expressed his desire to learn the guitar to his mother, who declined his request.

“起初我以为小男孩有些叛逆，后来听他和母亲的对话才知道，他爸爸开网约车，家里养两个孩子负担有点大。末了他还是不情愿地离开了。”

“Initially, I thought the little boy was a bit rebellious, only later did I learn from the dialogue between him and his mother that his father provided car-hailing services and the burden of raising two children was heavy. In the end he left reluctantly.”

这件事触动了曹银。“街道文化站刚好有授课位置，我有师资资源，也许我可以做点什么。”跟合伙人商量后，曹银决定给困境儿童开艺术类公益课堂。

This incident deeply moved Cao Yin. He said, “The community’s cultural center happened to have available teaching space, and I had access to teaching resources. Perhaps I could do something.” After consulting with his partners, Cao Yin decided to offer art-related charity classes for underprivileged children.

刚来培训时孩子低头不爱说话

Children Who Kept their Heads Down and Rarely Spoke in Class

曹银的本职工作是做社区服务的。他通过豹澥街相关部门了解到，街道当时登记在册的困境儿童共计147名，要么来自低保户，要么是孤儿、残障人士或自闭症儿童，大部分性格内向，不敢与他人交流，不愿参与集体活动，融入社会有点困难。

Cao Yin’s primary occupation was community service. He learnedthrough relevant departments in the area that there was a total of 147 registered underprivileged children in the area. These children either came from families receiving government assistance, were orphans, had disabilities, or were autistic. Most of them were introverted and struggled integrating into society out of fear ofcommunicating with others and participatingin group activities.

曹银原计划招募12名困境学生，了解到街道在册困境儿童总体情况后，他把招募人数增加到25人。

Originally, Cao Yin intended to enroll 12 underprivileged students. However, after gaining a better understanding of the overall situation of registered underprivileged children in the community, he decided to increase the number to 25.

孩子免费来学艺术，可是教艺术课的老师需要过生活，按照行规，课时费是按每节课的培训人数收取的。曹银跟几位合作老师商量后，几位老师都比较支持，表示愿意降低上课费。架子鼓老师冯博是湖北打击乐协会会员，也是豹澥街道的女婿，他说看见这些小朋友的现状，就想起自己小时候的困境，他愿意教这些孩子，让他们有个音乐相伴的童年。

While the children could learn art for free, theteachers had to make a living. According to industry norms, fees are charged in accordance with the number of studentsin each lesson. After discussing with several collaborating teachers, they were all supportive and expressed their willingness to lower theclassfees. Drum teacher, Feng Bo, is a member of the Hubei Percussion Association and also happens to be resident in BaoxieStreet. He stated seeing the children reminded him of his own childhoodstruggles, and he was thus willing to teach them so that they could enjoy a childhood filled with music.

第一堂公益课始于2021年暑假，来了9名困境儿童，冯博记得，来的这些孩子几乎都不爱说话，低着头，不主动交流，缺乏自信。根据爱好，孩子们被编入架子鼓、吉他等正常授课的艺术班。

The first class began during the summer vacation of 2021, and nine underprivileged children attended. Feng Bo recalls that the children hardly spoke, kept their heads down, and lacked self-confidence. Based on their interests, they were placed in regular art classes such as drumming and guitar.

由于不收费，上了几节课新鲜感过去后，孩子们很容易放弃。曹银于是跟老师沟通，建议老师多激发孩子们的兴趣，鼓励他们珍惜机会坚持学习。

As there was no charge, the children could easily give up after the initial novelty wore off. Cao Yin then talked to the teachers, advising them to stimulate the children’s interest and encourage them to cherish the opportunity as well as to persevere in their studies.

除了上课还鼓励他们站上舞台

Encouraging Students to Perform on Stage Besides Attending Classes

公益课从2021年6月底到2023年暑期，累计上了1588节课，共惠及25名困境儿童。曹银和老师、家长逐渐感受到一些孩子身上发生的积极变化。

From late June 2021 to the summer of 2023, a total of 1588 charity classes were conducted, benefiting 25 underprivileged children. Over time, Cao Yin, the teachers, and parents began to notice positive changes occurring in some of the children.

比如小宇，一名来自低保户家庭的10岁儿童，平时纪律性比较差，喜欢玩手机游戏，在社区推荐下报名学习架子鼓。为了吸引他专注练习，老师根据他爱玩游戏的特点，为他下载电子鼓游戏化学习软件，小宇来了兴趣，渐渐放弃了电子鼓软件的辅助，甚至能脱稿、脱谱演奏《我们的时光》《半生雪》《小叮当》等架子鼓音乐。为了上音乐课，他不要妈妈和有残疾的爷爷送，每次都自己走路去学校。

For example, Xiaoyu, a 10-year-old child from a low-income family, enrolled in drum lessons on the recommendation of the community. He was generally ill-disciplined and frequently played video games. To encourage him into concentrating on his classes, the teacher recognized his love for gaming and downloaded electronic drumming learning software for him. Xiaoyu developed an interest and gradually gave up the aid of electronic drum softwareas he was able to play songs like Our Time, Half-Life Snowand Tinker Bell from memory. In order to attend music lessons, he no longer needed his mother or disabled grandfather to accompany him and would walk to school on his own.

回到家里后，小宇愿意跟家人分享课堂情况，比如学会新曲子被老师表扬了，又认识了什么朋友等等。小宇的母亲严女士为儿子的变化感到高兴，“儿子告诉我，9、10月学校要举办义演活动，他想练好节目，争取上台表演。”她期待能看到儿子的演出。

When he returned home, Xiaoyu willingly shared with his family his experiences in class, from his teacher praising him for learning a new song to making new friends. Xiao Yu’s mother, Ms. Yan, was pleased with the changes in her son, “My son told me that the school is going to hold a charity show in September and October, and he wants to practice his piece well and hopefully perform on stage.” She was looking forward to seeing her son’s performance.

孔月是美术班的老师，她介绍，患自闭症的10岁女孩小月（化名）在学校免费学习美术近半年，起初她不爱与人交流，只喜欢待在角落自己玩手指。经过老师的关心和鼓励，“她开朗起来，话多了，逐渐走出自我封闭的状态。”孔月说。

Kong Yue, the art teacher, shared that a 10-year-old girl named Xiao Yue (pseudonym), who has autism, has been studying art for free at the school for almost half a year. Initially, she did not enjoy interacting with others and preferred to play with her fingers in a corner. Through the care and encouragement of the teacher, “she has become more cheerful, started talking more, and has gradually become less isolated and closed-off,” said Kong Yue.

曹银还想到用才艺展演的形式，鼓励孩子们站上舞台表现自己。2022年底，学校在九龙湖广场大舞台举办了一场义演活动，架子鼓、吉他、舞蹈等公益课堂的困境学生代表参加了演出。此后，豹澥街道国际人才社区的六一儿童节表演等都能看到这些困境儿童的身影，孩子们重拾信心的笑脸在台上绽放，居民或家长的掌声在台下响起。

Cao Yinadditionallythought of using a talent show to encourage the children to showcasethemselveson stage. At the end of 2022, the school held a charity performance on the big stage in Jiulong Lake Square. Representatives from the underprivileged students in the drumming, guitar, and dance classes participated in the show. Since then, these underprivileged children have been seen at various community events, such asthe Children’s Day performance of the International Talent Community. The children, brimming with newfound confidence, shine on stage, as the applause of residents or parents resounds from the audience below.

链接公益资源

Utilizing Charity Resources

帮儿童融入社会

Helpingchildren integrate into society

豹澥街道各社区对曹银推出的公益课堂普遍给予了支持，街道提供场地，社区配合推荐困境儿童。万年台社区书记吴昌坤透露，社区去年起筛选推荐了6名儿童参加公益课堂，家长反响比较好，有人说孩子变得更加开朗了。孩子自信开朗的变化，让曹银希望整合更多资源，把公益课堂长期办下去。

The communities of Baoxie Street generally supportedthe charity classes launched by Cao Yin.They provided venues, and recommended underprivileged children to the classes. Wu Changkun, secretary of Wanniantai Community, revealed that the community had selected and recommended six children to attendthe charity classes since last year. The parents’ feedback has been quite positive, with some saying that their children have become more outgoing. The positive changes in the children’s confidence and openness have inspired Cao Yin to seek ways to consolidate more resources and continue the charity classes in the long term.

今年年初，经过街道社工站及街道相关部门的牵线，腾讯公益基金会与湖北省慈善总会联合发起的“腾讯公益五社联动家园助力站”项目“用音乐点亮儿童梦想”子计划，决定链接曹银的公益课堂活动，帮助社区困境儿童健康成长。

Atthe beginning of this year, with the coordination of the street’s community service center and relevant departments, the “Tencent Charity Five Communities Joint Home Assistance Station” project initiated by Tencent Charity Foundation in collaboration with the Hubei Charity Federation, under the sub-project “Using Music to Illuminate Children’s Dreams,” decided to collaborate with Cao Yin in his charity classes. This initiative aims to ensure the healthy development of underprivileged children in the community.

作为项目承接方，东湖高新区兴汉社会工作服务中心理事长李斯为透露，得知曹银的公益课堂，觉得正好与腾讯公益项目的服务内容契合，就把光谷区域的腾讯公益项目落地在豹澥街道。李斯为表示，“用音乐点亮梦想”计划为学校添置更多乐器，用补贴留住现有的老师，策划更多有助于儿童融入社会的公益活动。从今年4月28日的光谷青年青春公益市集活动开始，该计划陆续开展了项目宣传和筹款、困境儿童家访、暑期课程和社会融入实践等系列活动。

As the project contractor, Li Siwei, chairman of Xinghan Social Work Service Center of East Lake High-tech Development Zone, revealed that upon learning ofCao Yin’s charityclasses, he felt it was in line with the service objectivesof Tencent public welfare projects.Hence,he implemented the Tencent public welfare projects in theBaoxie streetofthe Optical Valley area. Li Siwei further statedthe “Using Music to Illuminate Children’s Dreams”program intends to addmore musical instruments to schools, subsidize existing teachers, and plan more activities to help children integrate into society. Starting from the Optics Valley Youth Charity Market on April 28 this year, the program hassuccessively carried out a series of activities such as project publicity and fundraising, home visits to underprivileged children, summer courses and social integration practices.

在街道支持下，去年以来，曹银联合社工机构、公益基金等社会资源举行了科普实验课、公益植树、公益送书、手工制作、夏季玩水、免费电影观影等活动，帮助困境孩子与社会互动、探索世界。“每次观影前后，我们会做一些互动，在保护隐私前提下邀请困境孩子参加，或表演节目，或说出自己的梦想。”在暑期一次活动上，有位困境孩子看完电影后说：想坐复兴号去北京看天安门广场升国旗，看人民英雄纪念碑，看卢沟桥事变发生地。

With the support of the community, since last year, Cao Yin, together with social work organizations, public welfare funds and other social resources, hasconducted educational experiments, tree planting events, book donations, crafting workshops, summer water activities, free movie screenings, and more since last year. These activities have helped underprivileged children interact with society and explore the world. “Before and after each moviescreening, we engage in interactive sessions. While respecting privacy, we invite underprivileged children to participate, either by performing, sharing their dreams, or taking part in other activities,” Cao Yin mentioned. During one summer event, a child from an underprivileged background expressed a desire to take a high-speed train (Fuxing Hao) to Beijing to see the Tiananmen Square during the flag-raising ceremony, visit the Monument to the People’s Heroes, and explore the location of the Lugou Bridge Incident.

曹银说，他不能断定这些孩子今后会不会将艺术当做职业，但只要自己做的事情能多少帮他们朝着乐观自信、追逐梦想、融入社会的方向发展，这就足够了。

Cao said he cannot tell whether these children will pursue a career in the arts in the future. However, as long as their actions can help the childrenbecome optimisticand confident, pursue their dreams and integrate into society, he considers it to be enough.
