healing pain with music and spreading love with art

"arts in hospital xinyinfang - spreading love with art" is a medical humanities advocacy charity project initiated by beijing kangmeng charity foundation. cancer patients who are one of the long-term volunteers of xinyinfang gather together to insist on singing, dancing, reciting and other training, encourage each other and actively maintain an optimistic spirit. go to the hospital, perform, communicate with hospitalized patients, and encourage the majority of patients to actively fight the disease with them and regain confidence in life.

the ancient chinese character for "medicine" is "藥", which comes from music. as early as in ancient times, people had to accompany music with activities such as sacrifices and gatherings. music is "good medicine", and music can heal illnesses. since its inception, the xinyinfang project has always been committed to providing spiritual support to people in need of care through the form of music art. this time, the xinyinfang caring event joined the "yuyin rao xiehe" plan of the social work department of peking union medical college hospital, walked into the geriatric medicine ward of peking union medical college hospital, and built a bridge of care through music. it is also a public welfare practice of the xinyinfang project in the medical field. as a nationally renowned comprehensive hospital, peking union medical college hospital has always adhered to the "patient-centered" service concept, which coincides with the concept of "arts in hospital xinyinfang--using art to convey love".

on the day of the event, volunteers from xinyinfang walked into the geriatric ward of union hospital wearing simple and elegant cheongsams and carrying carefully prepared musical instruments and songs. the high-pitched singing and lively performances especially touched the patients' hearts after not seeing live performances for a long time. the patients hummed along quietly throughout the whole process, and at the end, they saluted the performers with tears in their eyes and said, "i am moved, moved. i can sing all these, but now i can't sing them anymore. you sang very well, thank you."

the five volunteers are all music-loving volunteers who have been fighting cancer for many years. they were once patients, and after recovery, they chose to use their talents and their stories of fighting the disease to help and encourage more people with the disease. the beautiful melodies, pleasant singing and soulful performances brought spiritual comfort to the dying patients and their families. for bedridden patients, art and music are not only an expression of emotion, but also a bridge to the outside world.
