Zu Wenbao, 23, reacts to a loud sound by covering his ears while his mother Zhao Guorong, 59, plays the keyboard during a practice session of the band formed by the mothers of Star Kids, called Mums of Star Kids, at the music studio of 38-year-old teacher Chen Shensi in Beijing, China July 31, 2022. Almost three years of pandemic restrictions have been especially hard for Zu, who has autism spectrum disorder, but thanks to Chen’s Studio, music has become his saving grace. REUTERS/Tingshu Wang
