Dot blue words to follow "CCTV News"

He is a post-00s

Also a blind man

He can't see the world

But in the world of literature, they have crossed the mountains

His name is Ye Hongting

He is now a student at Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Retinitis pigmentosa is diagnosed at the age of 4

"The world goes from clear to blur"

Ye Hongting was 4 years old

Retinitis pigmentosa is diagnosed

This disease

It will gradually deteriorate people's vision until they become blind

Ye Hongting described this feeling as

Man slowly indents into a "cage"

At the age of 5, Ye Hongting could still write in the square grid

By the age of 7, he could only use a magnifying glass

Write in a large grid

At one point, the pen fell to the floor

He insisted on picking it up by himself

As a result, I struggled for ten minutes and still couldn't find it

Experienced the search for medical treatment

His eyesight improved a bit, but he also fell back quickly

After thinking about it

Riding bikes, playing soccer, playing basketball...

These are the kinds of sports that can be experienced before

I can't play it anymore

Ye Hongting gradually alienated his playmates in the community

"For a long time, I felt that the psychological gap was very large"

What is the use of reading? The post-00s blind boy replied

Failures in seeking medical treatment time and time again

Let Ye Hongting begin to slowly accept reality

Learn to adjust your mindset and reconcile with yourself

Read to drive away the darkness

He said reading had given him a window

Elementary school

Ye Hongting entered the Nanjing School for the Blind

Contact reading through Braille

His favorite book is "If You Give Me Three Days of Light."

and How Steel is Made

He said reading had given him a window

In later days

Ye Hongting was exposed to audio reading again

He was obsessed with recitation

Often practice until 12 o'clock in the evening

The recitation became another window for Ye Hongting to understand the world

In his opinion, sound is the easiest to convey emotions

Recitation is like a rendition of a work in place of the author

It is as if I can communicate with the author spiritually

What is the use of reading? The post-00s blind boy replied

By reading

Ye Hongting found a balance for himself

"Something that is visually lost

Let me get it through words

Maybe on some level

That's fair."

Now, Ye Hongting chooses to play the recitation specialty

Place the text on the book

Transformed into an emotionally charged voice

Bring spiritual comfort to countless people

Today, the 27th World Book Day

Let's find the literary imprint of Nanjing

"Set off towards the moon, even if it can't be reached

Can also stand in the middle of the stars."

It was a sentence that Ye Hongting liked very much

On a journey of walking in the backlight

Literature nourished him

Many blind children like Ye Hongting

I also open my heart and understand the world through reading

In front of reading

Everyone is not a vulnerable group

Seemingly ordinary words

It is their key to understanding the world
