Coda of a Stewardess
The next story is one of courage, passion and life-affirming spirit. An ex-flight attendant has been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer,with only six months to live. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, she decides to devote her remaining days to sharing the joy of music with children around the island.
Holding these drum sticks and hammering in rhythm creates this sound.Looking closely at this metal frame which really looks like a big dinosaur is a sort of musical chameleon.The sound coming from this dinosaur is actually intoxicating music performed with this keyboard player whose hands fly over black and white keys.
This is part of a musical vehicle that will perform for children throughout Taiwan, providing them with music. It is the creation of one woman suffering from late stage breast cancer. Despite physical discomfort, she covers her head with a scarf and practices with great effort, trying to live out her dream.At the end of her life she has no fear as she has already seen the whole world.
After graduating from university, she became the envy of all flight attendants providing services not only on the president's plane but also taking part in ads for the airlines.Now, she believes that she is strong enough to face this illness,and has created this musical vehicle as she plans to travel and make music, to create one last beautiful voyage in her life.
