This story truly touched my heart. Ming’s journey reminds us that life’s detours can often lead to unexpected beauty. Her resilience, sacrifice, and love for her family turned what seemed like an ending into a powerful new beginning. The way she rediscovered her passion for music and used it to inspire others is a lesson in hope, strength, and the importance of never giving up on what makes our hearts sing.
How heartwarming. I have been there 50 years ago when I was challenged to play Sonatina No. 20 for Schubert, at the age of 25. I played for the church congregation and played from my heart earning applause I needed so much to reclaim my confidence. I did and my world changed leading me to play for small audiences. I cried from this video clip
It’s truly beautiful how music has the power to heal, uplift, and transform our lives. Playing from the heart, just as you did, creates connections that go beyond the notes.
I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. Your story really resonates with me-music has such a special way of touching our hearts. I hope you find a way to reconnect with it again, even if just in small moments. Wishing you strength and healing!
I have seen these kinds of stories throughout my years of teaching music and voice. Some youth who had so much talent and passion to succeed. Some felt like they were forced to walk away from it, or they were very often discouraged by friends and family. I had some tell me later on that the feeling of regret runs very deep, wishing they had followed their heart and their dream.
This story is a beautiful reminder to keep going, no matter the obstacles. Dreams have a way of finding their path, even when it seems impossible. Thank you for sharing your feelings!
I was easily willing to pass over the pronunciations of Chopin, finale, and others. This was a well-written story that draws in young and old, especially those who thirst for encouragement, whether in music or just plain Life. Well-drawn, including the device of the frozen photo that remains in place while the story is told, weaving emotional responses in the listener/reader. Well created. Well done. Thank you for excellence in the arts.
Absolutely, the way the story was written really pulls you in. It’s not just about music, but about overcoming challenges in life. That emotional depth really speaks to all ages. Thank you for your thoughtful reflection!
This video made me reflect on my own life and relationships. The love and struggles portrayed were so real. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and emotional journey
I was captivated totally unexpectedly by this story. Not one sentence felt out of place and I was born along on its current to the hopefulbgentle shores of the conclusion, showing loss and hardship can lead to a dream transforming into a richer life enhancing outcome. Full marks 👍🌟
Thank you for a great story being narated beautifully. My eyes drenched with joy of hearing the story of an underdog (like myself) where Ming's dreams became true. Very touching inspiring seemingly magical opportunities still happen today. I was the boy that dreaded practicing piano at the Horak Konservatorium, Wien, Austria. I rearranged many musicals, from EU classical, American contemporary, to Classical Asian pieces amalgamation with the musical theories, I've learned in Vienna. 😅 I played and entertained my father's guests at his parties. Nothing concert earth shattering shows like Ming. 😅 Thanks again for an enchanting story. 😊
What an awesome story. It took me away from all the hardships and violence that is all over the internet and life in general. Thankyou so much for taking me away into dreams of happiness. It may have been a short period of time. But a priceless period.
Your rendition of Chopin’s Nocturne was incredibly moving. The way you brought out the emotions in the piece captivated everyone in the room. Truly unforgettable!
Such a beautiful story. She had accomplished her true love for music playing the piano. She had proved her passion for music. And she did it .Her music comes truly from her heart.
This video is a true Cinderella moment! The millionaire's attempt to embarrass the waitress backfired spectacularly when her hidden talent shone through. It's a beautiful reminder that you never know the depth of someone's abilities until they're given the chance to show it. Her performance not only silenced the room but also turned a moment of intended humiliation into one of awe and respect. Truly stunning!
I can't help but be moved by how music helped Ming reconnect with herself. It’s a testament to how art, especially music, has the power to heal and transform.
The musician's name was Chopin pronounced as "Showpan". He was superb, and the young lady, in this story, did a great job with His music. Wonderful reaction to her, when it ended.
Yes, Chopin's music truly shines in the hands of a skilled performer, and Ming's interpretation was breathtaking! The reaction at the end was so powerful-it was a moment of pure recognition and respect for her talent
@@Stories2-j3u I remember, while in High School, that our English teacher challenged all of us, in her class, that we could choose to either take the final exam, or write a 2000 word essay on a prominent figure in history. I chose to write about Chopin, which meant spending a lot of time in the city library. It came out very well, and I enjoyed the whole project.
What a wonderful story to hear on Christmas morning--I wake up early to take medicine--I am dying. This story is so much about someone changing and that change made all the difference in Ming's life-----I know this man was not Jesus, but God did change his heart to help this young woman!!!! Can't we all from this day forward......have more compassion for others? Just maybe others will come to know the King of Kings---Jesus Christ!!!!! I am a Christ Follower and I try to look at all things through the truth of the Bible.....in this case, God let her have her dream!!! I pray she came to know Jesus herself!!! She gave us so much beauty!!!
Your comment really touched my heart. May our LORD be with you and guide you into His presence. May you experience His love and grace in depth and in truth. May you receive from Him your rich reward for living a godly life and testifying bravely. May God bless and keep you!
Pray that Ming believes in Jesus and also 🙏 for all these millionaire people to come to know and trust in The Lord Jesus Christ. Hope and Pray that these stories come from true events. God bless you all.😊
You are a great story teller, I know it is just a story, but you allowed me to feel emotion, of course I was ready for emotion, but you, Mr Narrator have talent!
Well narratrd story of a musician who had not played her Piano for 10 years. The Music once learnt, will remain in the brain like the Cycling once learnt is never forgotten.
I focused on the message only and really enjoyed this. I was fortunate long time ago to get a musical instrument that others with the same instrument had played at Carnegie Hall. At the start thought maybe that could be me one day but life's reality and demands changed that vision over time and now in retirement life comes again with many more demands, conditions and distractions. Found this inspiring and will try and get back to where I wanna belong regardless. Had the privilege of meeting in person one pioneer in this music genre who won the world championship at a young age and was impressed with his humbleness. Never forgot his words to me at that time (has passed now) learn how to play from the heart, and learn how to play in the now.
Learning how to play from the heart is true, BUT learning to play music that makes you, you is also true. I have created many pieces of my own, but my playing abilities did not copy that which was in my mind, and I lost confidence. Learning from others can help overcome a lack of confidence. All we have to do is take the chance.
It’s amazing how life may take us on unexpected paths, yet the love for music never truly fades. The words you shared-‘play from the heart, and play in the now’-are such a powerful reminder to embrace the present and reconnect with what truly brings us joy. I hope you find your way back to where you belong, and may the music always lead you forward.
What a powerful reflection! The words you were given years ago, "play from the heart" and "play in the now," truly resonate. Life may bring distractions, but it’s never too late to reconnect with what brings us joy. Your story is a beautiful reminder that it’s the journey, not just the destination, that matters. Wishing you the best on your musical journey, no matter where it takes you!
As a retired Engineer who has taken up Piano. I loved this story. The mispronunciations was somewhat distracting but the story was beautiful. Is this really a "True Life Story?" I don't believe someone can pick up playing after ten years. Even someone with extraordinary ability's.
Though I detest the use of AI with the sad incorrect pronunciation of words, the story was touching and reflected real life situations. I found it very satisfying.Never give up on your dreams no matter what life throws at you.
I haven't played in awhile, ( so many medical problems) but now have my baby Grand & also a two keyboard Technique organ in my great room ...enjoy playing still at 72.😊😊😊
What a fabulous story. However, I can't overlook the several words that were mis-pronounced. One person in the comments pointed out the mis-pronunciation of Chopin. But there were others as easy as Bass, recital, duet, finale. and a tougher one Debussy. If a musician had listened to the narrator, he would have caught these. Again, let me say this is a great story worth sharing.
Haha, I see what you mean! Computer narrators definitely have their limitations when it comes to pronunciation. But I agree, Chopin’s music deserves the respect of proper pronunciation!
It is probably an artificial intelligence voice. Plus, the picture shows a young woman with European features instead of Oriental, as signaled by the name Yag with black name. I listened to the story and within a minute realized that this was AGAIN a fake story with a click- bait picture. Bye!
hearing the AI speaker on this almost led me to just terminate this video and go to another. Almost. What a lovely story. I can only hope it was true. I have wanted to play the piano for as long as I can remember. My grandmother had a grand in her front Parlor and practiced on it for several hours a day. When I was little, I would hear her warming up and would run up the front steps of that old San Francisco Victorian, through the tall front doors (often leaving them open) and run into the front Parlor to dive under the piano for, what I thought, was the best seat in the house! Grandmother died when I was five or six. I never understood until I was ten that she had actually died. All the same, her practice sessions of beautiful music that had lulled me to sleep so many times instilled a love of music in me. Also a desire to play the Piano. My parents wouldn't hear of it and Pianos are a very expensive instrument. I finally did learn to play as an adult. However, many things get in the way and I had to give it up. I have regretted it ever since. Even now, sixty-three years after she last played ebb tide for me, I can still her her version of it in my memory.
There is no way you can play flawlessly if you haven’t played the piano in 10 years. I’ve been playing since I was seven and I can say with certainty and experience that if you haven’t played in 10 years there’s no way you can play without any mistakes!
You're right, it's incredibly challenging to return to an instrument after so long. But sometimes, the magic of muscle memory and emotional connection can surprise us. Ming’s performance really highlighted how the heart can guide us even after years of silence.
My piano story: (I'll try to make it short) Went on vacation to St. Lucia at a Sandals Resort with my wife and 2 other couples. After traveling all morning and then partying to 11:00 PM when the Beach bar closed,they all were exhausted and went to bed. But I was still ready to party, so I asked the bartender where I could get a Captain and Coke. He said there was a Piano bar on the other side of the resort that was open till 1 PM. So I grabbed my almost finished drink and sauntered off to explore the resort. By the time I got to the piano bar, my drink had 1 sip left, BUT the place was deserted, except for the piano player and a beautiful lady stretched out on a couch behind the piano. The place looked like a scene from some strange Twilight Zone movie . Empty tables where people had recently been, no bartender behind the bar (Remember I was looking for a Captain & Coke?), AND even stranger still.....the piano player was playing chopsticks. Being a somewhat drunk retired scientist, I said to my self, "I can figure this out!" I sat on a stool at the piano bar, finished my drink and stared at the piano player. After a while, he glanced at me, and I casually asked him if he knew Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer"? Without a reply, he jumped into one of the most lively versions of the song I ever heard. Great I thought, we have an amazing piano player, now where did that bartender go? While still trying to figure out where everyone was I happened to notice the pretty lady on the couch was laughing hysterically. Now, I was really confused but determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. I went over to the woman and asked her what was so funny. Took her a few seconds to control her laughter, and she replied, "He's not the piano player, that's my husband, AND he took piano lessons for 3 years to play that one song and you just waltzed in and asked him to play it! You made his day!" Okay, I'm figuring out some stuff, so I then asked her where everyone was, and she told me everyone else went outside to "toast" the full moon. Where upon I went behind the bar and made myself a Captain & Coke. Met some great people that night and got a great story.
Good story with a few mispronounced words and phrases. I've played piano & organ since I was 5 1/2 years old. I'm 73 now. A rusty player but still have fun once in a while 🙂
It’s not a person reading the script, it’s a computer program, probably using AI, which is notoriously error prone when translating foreign or foreign-based vocabulary to English.
I have read the comment of the persons who commented about the absurd, badly narrated story. Though I detest the use of AI with the sad incorrect pronunciation of words, the story was touching and reflected real life situations. I found it very satisfying.
The story itself was generated by AI. Someone just asked an LLM to write a "young-talented-waitress-getting-discovered" inspirational story, then asked an AI image generator to illustrate it, then posted it and got quite a few views and subscribers, which they're getting paid for. If you look in your suggested videos sidebar, you'll probably see about 10 variations of this story, some posted by this channel, some by others.
It’s almost criminal that such a wonderful and emotional story has to be told by AI. Between the mispronunciations in the audio and the incorrect words in the script, the story becomes somewhat jarring. Such a shame!
It is amazing that we humans often fail to applaud the good of a story: overcoming difficulties/trials, but find resounding fault with mispronunciations. Yes, improvements should be made there, but what about the moral of the narrative; is it not more important? Hmmm?🌺💕🥰
I am truly glad my instincts led me to scroll forward to realize there was not a single moving picture in this video. I would never see this young protagonist play the piano. And was this video short? No. It was pretty long. So, what did I do? Changed the channel.
This is a sweet story ruined by a robot who does not know how to spell or pronounce words necessary to this story. I am happy for Ming and also happy that Thompson found humility.
The crazy thing is that the story itself was created by AI. Someone simply asked a large language model to write an inspirational story about a young talented waitress getting discovered and this is what it generated. If you scroll through your suggested videos sidebar you'll find several other variations of this same story from this channel and others.
I could be mistaken, but the man standing to the right of the girl at the piano looks amazingly like the late Louis Rukeyser. Can anyone confirm or dismiss this idea? The story itself is interesting, even if embellished. Music is indeed magic. Nearly all of us non-musicians are enthralled by it. Those who understand its timing and structure are our best humans.
This story is about each and every one of us; about taking advantage of opportunities when they come round, and following our dreams... always following our dreams and being the gift that we are.
After reading more than a few comments on this "story", I am appalled at the cluelessness of all but a handful of people who did not see the "story" for what it truly was: A shoddy (mispronounced), formulaic, paint-by-the-numbers, treacly melodrama. If this is a representative example, then storytelling and literature as a whole are both safe from any threat from AI for the foreseeable future. And thank God for that!
A HEARTWARMING STORY OF HOPE,RESILIENCE, LOVE, UNDERSTANDING, HUMBLE PERSISTANCE, SHARING, AND REMEMBERANCE, DREAMS COMING ALIVE TO BE SHARED, BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES WITH JOY,REMARKABLE TO SAY THE LEAST, APRAYER COMING TRUE FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL.❤❤❤❤☀️☀️☀️☀️✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️👍🏻🔑OF LIFE. AMEN,
It got the general look right, but it had trouble with some of the specifics, like black key groupings and how to spell "Steinway & Sons," or even what English letters look like. Also, reflections are hard for AI. Check out the reflection of her right hand, which is hovering over the black keys.
Beautiful story, I wonder whom had the digest humiliation of is life. Surely not the young women. Never underestimate people around you, you can surprised of what they can bring to the table.
(14:52) “As the last notes of Chopin’s nocturne faded into the hushed silence of the room, Ming’s hands rested gently on the keys.” Sometimes, the quiet that follows true artistry can echo more powerfully than any applause.
This story truly touched my heart. Ming’s journey reminds us that life’s detours can often lead to unexpected beauty. Her resilience, sacrifice, and love for her family turned what seemed like an ending into a powerful new beginning. The way she rediscovered her passion for music and used it to inspire others is a lesson in hope, strength, and the importance of never giving up on what makes our hearts sing.
This is the best story I have ever seen on here. As an 'occasional' musician, it strongly resonates with me. Whoever put this together, thankyou!
How heartwarming. I have been there 50 years ago when I was challenged to play Sonatina No. 20 for Schubert, at the age of 25. I played for the church congregation and played from my heart earning applause I needed so much to reclaim my confidence. I did and my world changed leading me to play for small audiences.

i wept also, wish we could have listened to Ming play.

What a heart warming story which has changed the arrogant Millionaire into a enthusiastic supporter. 🎹🎶🎶
I have lost my ability to play because of an injury. I miss playing and singing very much! What a beautiful story of hope and courage! Thank you!
❤l
I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. Your story really resonates with me-music has such a special way of touching our hearts. I hope you find a way to reconnect with it again, even if just in small moments. Wishing you strength and healing!
😭😭😭😭😭😭 This story is sooo sweet that it made me cry. Never give up on your dreams no matter what life throws at you.
I have seen these kinds of stories throughout my years of teaching music and voice. Some youth who had so much talent and passion to succeed. Some felt like they were forced to walk away from it, or they were very often discouraged by friends and family. I had some tell me later on that the feeling of regret runs very deep, wishing they had followed their heart and their dream.
In a way it also shows that you may have been going another way but life can really surprise you.
This story is a beautiful reminder to keep going, no matter the obstacles. Dreams have a way of finding their path, even when it seems impossible. Thank you for sharing your feelings!
I was easily willing to pass over the pronunciations of Chopin, finale, and others. This was a well-written story that draws in young and old, especially those who thirst for encouragement, whether in music or just plain Life. Well-drawn, including the device of the frozen photo that remains in place while the story is told, weaving emotional responses in the listener/reader.
Well created. Well done.
Thank you for excellence in the arts.
Absolutely, the way the story was written really pulls you in. It’s not just about music, but about overcoming challenges in life. That emotional depth really speaks to all ages. Thank you for your thoughtful reflection!
This was an Incredibly Beautiful story!! Thank you for sharing it!!
This video made me reflect on my own life and relationships. The love and struggles portrayed were so real. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and emotional journey
I was captivated totally unexpectedly by this story. Not one sentence felt out of place and I was born along on its current to the hopefulbgentle shores of the conclusion, showing loss and hardship can lead to a dream transforming into a richer life enhancing outcome. Full marks 👍🌟
Thank you for a great story being narated beautifully.
My eyes drenched with joy of hearing the story of an underdog (like myself) where Ming's dreams became true. Very touching inspiring seemingly magical opportunities still happen today. I was the boy that dreaded practicing piano at the Horak Konservatorium, Wien, Austria. I rearranged many musicals, from EU classical, American contemporary, to Classical Asian pieces amalgamation with the musical theories, I've learned in Vienna. 😅
I played and entertained my father's guests at his parties. Nothing concert earth shattering shows like Ming. 😅
Thanks again for an enchanting story. 😊
What a beautiful story that absolutely restores hope any in the Christmas season. Thank you God for placing this blessing in my life
What an awesome story. It took me away from all the hardships and violence that is all over the internet and life in general. Thankyou so much for taking me away into dreams of happiness. It may have been a short period of time. But a priceless period.

You are a great story teller, I know it is just a story, but you allowed me to feel emotion, of course I was ready for emotion, but you, Mr Narrator have talent!
This was a SUPER impressive story one I will not forget soon. Hope everyone else enjoyed it!!
Well narratrd story of a musician who had not played her Piano for 10 years. The Music once learnt, will remain in the brain like the Cycling once learnt is never forgotten.
I can see this uplifting story turning into an uplifting movie. I would definitely see it!
Stories like these inspire us to look beyond hardships and find the beauty in our struggles.
I focused on the message only and really enjoyed this. I was fortunate long time ago to get a musical instrument that others with the same instrument had played at Carnegie Hall.

Not to mention 10years...😂😂😂😂
Magnificent story! Thank you so much!
A beautiful story .I have tears in my eyes ❤😊😢
Music always brings tears to my eyes and this story was so touching, as if the music was actually playing.❤

These computer narrators can't tell Chopin from "Choppin' ".
Or "petted" from "petite".
--- and the comical ressitills
@@vonPunki Many more...
😄😄😄😄 indeed, every time he pronounced Chopin , there's a knot in my heart, and one time Debussy too 😄😄
Haha, I see what you mean! Computer narrators definitely have their limitations when it comes to pronunciation. But I agree, Chopin’s music deserves the respect of proper pronunciation!
What a beautiful story. It has inspired me to start playing piano again. Thanks for sharing.
How heartwarming I would have loved to hear what she played
OMG! I'm blubbering like a baby. Thank you for this story.
A great story. Is it based on a true life experience? The story teller has a nice voice even though he can't pronounce words correctly.
It is probably an artificial intelligence voice. Plus, the picture shows a young woman with European features instead of Oriental, as signaled by the name Yag with black name. I listened to the story and within a minute realized that this was AGAIN a fake story with a click- bait picture. Bye!
I was imagining Ming playing Chopin Nocturne in C # minor--Opus Posthumous, a heart warming ❤️piece by Chopin, my favorite piece of music ❤️
Wow. Good for you. I think I can play chopsticks

Who else had to look up Chopin's Nocturne in C Sharp Minor to "hear" what Ming was playing?
There is no way you can play flawlessly if you haven’t played the piano in 10 years. I’ve been playing since I was seven and I can say with certainty and experience that if you haven’t played in 10 years there’s no way you can play without any mistakes!
Yup muscle memory on goes so far.
Yes, you are right. Nice story but like all these stories I take them with a pinch of salt.
You're right, it's incredibly challenging to return to an instrument after so long. But sometimes, the magic of muscle memory and emotional connection can surprise us. Ming’s performance really highlighted how the heart can guide us even after years of silence.
I think a study in creative writing would make a huge difference to what could have been a good story
Spot on, seemed very unbconvincing to me.
"The devil is in the details".... and art is in the depths of the human soul! As someone commented earlier, "Welcome to AI!"
What a beautiful story.
My piano story: (I'll try to make it short)
Went on vacation to St. Lucia at a Sandals Resort with my wife and 2 other couples. After traveling all morning and then partying to 11:00 PM when the Beach bar closed,they all were exhausted and went to bed. But I was still ready to party, so I asked the bartender where I could get a Captain and Coke. He said there was a Piano bar on the other side of the resort that was open till 1 PM.

By the time I got to the piano bar, my drink had 1 sip left, BUT the place was deserted, except for the piano player and a beautiful lady stretched out on a couch behind the piano. The place looked like a scene from some strange Twilight Zone movie . Empty tables where people had recently been, no bartender behind the bar (Remember I was looking for a Captain & Coke?), AND even stranger still.....the piano player was playing chopsticks. Being a somewhat drunk retired scientist, I said to my self, "I can figure this out!" I sat on a stool at the piano bar, finished my drink and stared at the piano player. After a while, he glanced at me, and I casually asked him if he knew Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer"? Without a reply, he jumped into one of the most lively versions of the song I ever heard.
Great I thought, we have an amazing piano player, now where did that bartender go? While still trying to figure out where everyone was I happened to notice the pretty lady on the couch was laughing hysterically. Now, I was really confused but determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. I went over to the woman and asked her what was so funny. Took her a few seconds to control her laughter, and she replied, "He's not the piano player, that's my husband, AND he took piano lessons for 3 years to play that one song and you just waltzed in and asked him to play it! You made his day!" Okay, I'm figuring out some stuff, so I then asked her where everyone was, and she told me everyone else went outside to "toast" the full moon.
Where upon I went behind the bar and made myself a Captain & Coke. Met some great people that night and got a great story.
Good story with a few mispronounced words and phrases. I've played piano & organ since I was 5 1/2 years old. I'm 73 now. A rusty player but still have fun once in a while 🙂
Me too! But l am 65
A beautiful story but can we hear the music?
The person reading this story needs to learn how to correctly pronounce the script. Obviously no one edited this.
@@JimHayes-j5t AI no doubt!
Yep - many words mispronounced.
Yes indeed he mispronounced the names of 2 composers i.e. Chopin and Debussy. It sounded so ridiculous. 😄😄
It’s not a person reading the script, it’s a computer program, probably using AI, which is notoriously error prone when translating foreign or foreign-based vocabulary to English.
AI read it. That seems to be the only plausible explanation.
There should be Chopin music,in background
I watched this whole thing all the way to the end, waiting for her to play the piano, but her hands never moved.
Neither did any other part of her: It was a photograph!
I have read the comment of the persons who commented about the absurd, badly narrated story. Though I detest the use of AI with the sad incorrect pronunciation of words, the story was touching and reflected real life situations. I found it very satisfying.
i also tho detest the AI - Chopin pronounced "Chopp' in" ??? sheesh.
I get it. The idea of the story is good, at least.
The story itself was generated by AI. Someone just asked an LLM to write a "young-talented-waitress-getting-discovered" inspirational story, then asked an AI image generator to illustrate it, then posted it and got quite a few views and subscribers, which they're getting paid for. If you look in your suggested videos sidebar, you'll probably see about 10 variations of this story, some posted by this channel, some by others.
Thanks fo your reply.
Beautiful Story. I have 4 keyboards. I want to take lessons now. Someone, at the gym, teaches piano, guitar. Jerry from Anaheim, California USA. ❤
This was a beautiful story. Proofread the narration, please.
👍
I love the message thank you
It’s almost criminal that such a wonderful and emotional story has to be told by AI. Between the mispronunciations in the audio and the incorrect words in the script, the story becomes somewhat jarring. Such a shame!
Pity that the vaunted AI can't learn how to pronounce"Chopin" and "duet."
It wasn't only told by AI. It was written by AI as well.
It is amazing that we humans often fail to applaud the
good of a story: overcoming difficulties/trials, but find resounding fault with mispronunciations. Yes, improvements should be made there, but what about the moral of the narrative; is it not more important? Hmmm?🌺💕🥰
I am truly glad my instincts led me to scroll forward to realize there was not a single moving picture in this video. I would never see this young protagonist play the piano. And was this video short? No. It was pretty long. So, what did I do? Changed the channel.
Thank you. This was a beautiful story.
I thought she was going to play the piano; all talk and no music! Glad I scanned the video in one minute. Saved a lot of time.
This is a sweet story ruined by a robot who does not know how to spell or pronounce words necessary to this story. I am happy for Ming and also happy that Thompson found humility.
The crazy thing is that the story itself was created by AI. Someone simply asked a large language model to write an inspirational story about a young talented waitress getting discovered and this is what it generated. If you scroll through your suggested videos sidebar you'll find several other variations of this same story from this channel and others.
Fantastic story Ming and you are so blessed ❤
I could be mistaken, but the man standing to the right of the girl at the piano looks amazingly like the late Louis Rukeyser. Can anyone confirm or dismiss this idea?
The story itself is interesting, even if embellished. Music is indeed magic. Nearly all of us non-musicians are enthralled by it. Those who understand its timing and structure are our best humans.
Yes he does, I had to Google him because I didn’t know who he was 👍🏻
Thank you! 💕
This story is about each and every one of us; about taking advantage of opportunities when they come round, and following our dreams... always following our dreams and being the gift that we are.
Heartwarming story. 😊😊😊
Beautiful story. Hit me in the heart. [ For a touch of humor, notice at 23.00 the added subtitles. . .They go awry, in a very comical way. 🙃😉].
Beautiful , ❤
Thank you for a wonderful storey,I enjoyed it so much ❤
When does the music start? Despite the picture it's all commentary.
Such a aweet story! I have been away from playing the piano basically because when I moved, I sold it. Playing the piano isa joy and so relaxing.
After reading more than a few comments on this "story", I am appalled at the cluelessness of all but a handful of people who did not see the "story" for what it truly was: A shoddy (mispronounced), formulaic, paint-by-the-numbers, treacly melodrama. If this is a representative example, then storytelling and literature as a whole are both safe from any threat from AI for the foreseeable future. And thank God for that!
AI must have put this together. Great story with fractured pronunciation. I kept screaming the words to my phone! 😅
A heart warming story marred only by the comical diction.
Loved this! Just wished I could hear a few notes! ❤❤❤
What a lovely story, touched me very personally, my dreams set aside to be 'responsible'.
Beautiful story!!
Such a beautiful story....
What is wrong with the reading persons pronounciation? He even called the piano “penis” get him some lessons!
Thank you.
A HEARTWARMING STORY OF HOPE,RESILIENCE, LOVE, UNDERSTANDING, HUMBLE PERSISTANCE, SHARING, AND REMEMBERANCE, DREAMS COMING ALIVE TO BE SHARED, BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES WITH JOY,REMARKABLE TO SAY THE LEAST, APRAYER COMING TRUE FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL.❤❤❤❤☀️☀️☀️☀️✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️👍🏻🔑OF LIFE. AMEN,
loved it. I know how she felt.
I loved this so much.
Great story❤
Where’s the music?
So the AI that made the picture didn't actually know what a piano looks like?
It got the general look right, but it had trouble with some of the specifics, like black key groupings and how to spell "Steinway & Sons," or even what English letters look like. Also, reflections are hard for AI. Check out the reflection of her right hand, which is hovering over the black keys.
Beautiful story, I wonder whom had the digest humiliation of is life. Surely not the young women. Never underestimate people around you, you can surprised of what they can bring to the table.
(14:52) “As the last notes of Chopin’s nocturne faded into the hushed silence of the room, Ming’s hands rested gently on the keys.”
Sometimes, the quiet that follows true artistry can echo more powerfully than any applause.
