Not afraid of incompleteness,living wonderfully

A Grand Rapids boy with one hand got the violin lesson,learning from a great musician who's just like him.Despite being born without a right hand,Adrian Anantawan is one of the most accomplished violinists in the world.The Canadian-born musician has performed here and there.When he was in a town to perform as the solo violinist,Anantawan dropped by De-Vos Performance Hall to instruct 4-yearold Calvin GerkeGreen of Grand Rapids.

Anantawan wasn't much older than Calvin when he first took up the violin.As a boy with only one hand,it was his way of fitting in.“Music in particular is an incredible equalizer (使众人平等之物) in understanding and accepting differences,”Anantawan said.“It only gains its strength from what is different and special about every single person.”

Using a prosthesis (假体) to hold his instrument,Anantawan travels around the world performing as a professional violinist.His other passion is inspiring others like himself,especially kids.“It's important to have those reminders that yes,we can,and with the right people in place,we can do anything,”he said.He devotes much of his time to being an advocate for those with disabilities.Neither Calvin nor his parents see his limb difference as a disability.Rather,it's what makes him unique.“I wish everyone had a special hand,”Calvin said.

Aside from taking violin,Calvin enjoys playing hockey and dancing ballet.“He doesn't spend much time wondering if he can do something or if he can't do something,”Calvin's mom Jenn Gerke said.“He just jumps straight to the how.”
