Behind the band,there was a picture of a young man named Philip Hancock shown on the screen.And he was the reason they were all there.Hancock was a young Australian who taught English in Chongqing.When he died in 2018 due to complications from diabetes,his parents followed his wishes and donated his organs with the help of the Red Cross Society of China's Chongqing branch.
“I'm Philip's liver”;“I'm Philip's kidney”;“Philip's eyes...”
The five people—a salesperson,a farmer,a former truck driver and two doctors—introduced themselves on stage.
“Last year,Red Cross officials told me that Philip's parents mentioned during an earlier memorial service that he loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day,”said former truck driver Chen Xianjun.Chen instantly wanted to form a band in memory of Philip,and so did the other four receivers.
Since they had no music experience,they had to start from scratch.From learning the guitar to mastering the maracas(响葫芦) and taking on the drum they took time out of their busy lives to practice over the past year.
“Picking up a new instrument is certainly difficult at my age,but we have a clear goal in mind and are determined to achieve it,”said Mo Li,the real estate salesman.
Peter Hancock,Philip's father,said after watching the band's performance that his biggest wish was for the five people to enjoy their lives more.“I think Philip not only gave them a new life,but also some musical cells that enable them to appreciate beautiful melodies.”
