Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness.She became interested in music when she was young.She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine，experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.

Learning the violin was more challenging.Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands， arms and back to learn the movements，and listen to the strings（弦） over and over again to feel the muscles（肌肉） herself. “After three years of learning，she still could not make any sound except terrible noises，” said Ha，who advised her daughter to give up the violin.But Ma said， “As I’ve been practicing so long，it’s hard to give up.I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.” In 2018，Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan，famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music，to study music in Beijing.She left her home in Ningxia to chase her music dream，though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.
