In the show represented “The Empathy Hearts,” the duo will give a performance called “Hand in Hand”, which has made their name internationally.
28-year-old Zhai Xiaowei lost his left leg when he was 4, while Ma Li lost her right arm in an accident in 1996 when she was 19.
The pair met each other in 2005 and then encouraged each other to practice ballet. In 2007, their “Hand in Hand” performance won the Silver prize in CCTV’s (China’s national TV channel) Dance Contest, which attracted around 7,000 participants.
“The Empathy Hearts” is to be held by the Hanoi-based Family and Children magazine, the Capital Communications Corporation, and the city’s Red Cross, and will also feature a number of local artists.
Also at the show, around VND4billion (US$200,000) will be handed over to children with congenital cardiac diseases as well as disabled kids and dioxin victims across the country.
“The Empathy Hearts” will take place at 8pm on April 21 at the Hanoi Opera House at 1 Trang Tien Street, Hoan Kiem District.

The K-State Student Union Courtyard was filled with excellent music and laughter as more than 30 students participated in “International Dance Steps” on Monday. The great International Coordinating Council hosted the event as part of International Week, which gave students a chance to learn about other cultures by trying out basic dance moves from around the world.
“The purpose of International Week is to show how diverse K-State is,” said Benita Mugabo, sophomore in management and information systems. “It’s important for students to learn about other cultures and to share with others.”
Mugabo hails from Rwanda, but taught a Pacific Island dance called “Tutuki” that she had learned from a friend in high school. The dance did not involve much stepping, but instead focused on arm and hip movements. The music she chose for the dance was from Fiji.
Marazula, a medieval European dance, had participants doing simple stepping and clapping in a circle, but the great tempo of the music kept getting faster and faster. The group scrambled to keep up with the music, laughing at the results.
