World Book Day|In the invisible world, reading lights up for them
"Reading is our dream
Although we can't see it
But we all share a thirst for knowledge
Looking forward to the future......"
The rehearsal room of the school for the blind and dumb in Kunming, Yunnan Province
A group of blind students are preparing for the upcoming World Book Day
Rehearse the recitation program
The girl who led the recitation, Zhang Xiwen
He is a student in the first year of junior high school in a school for the blind and dumb
The first braille extracurricular book she read
It's "If You Give Me Three Days of Light"
"Helen Keller
Unable to see, not to hear
I was even unable to speak
But through their own efforts
She learned five languages
Also become an excellent writer
Her spirit has always inspired me
Not resigned to fate"
Zhang Xiwen said
There was a boy named Guan Baoming in the rehearsal team
Mention the books you love to read
He excitedly shared a lot of science fiction mystery novels
"I often dream about the plot of the book
It's amazing
Wonderful pictures from the book
It also often 'plays out' in my mind."
Guan Baoming's dream is also related to "books".
"I want to be a novelist in the future
Put all kinds of interesting ideas in your heart
Expressed in the form of a novel"
In a school for the blind and dumb
There is a library with nearly 7,000 Braille books
This is Zhang Xiwen and Guan Baoming's favorite place
As soon as you are free
They would go to the library and read a book

In the library
The reporter met Peng Bin, a blind teacher who also loves to read
The 56-year-old has been reading Braille for 44 years
Peng Bin said with emotion
"It was reading that changed my destiny"
About reading
Peng Bin is full of memories
When I went to school, I had few books in Braille and had difficulty finding books
Later, China Braille Publishing House
Started a free lending business for Braille books
He became one of the first borrowers
"At that time, I could borrow four books at a time
I'm borrowing on top of the limit
After reading it, send it back and borrow a new book
When I read a book, I feel like time flies
The process of waiting for the book is extraordinarily long."

Peng Bin told reporters
Braille for the visually impaired
It can be more comprehensive, more complete, and more systematic
Tools for getting information
Learning Braille is the same as owning it
The "key" that opens the door to knowledge
It is the "blind cane" of the spiritual world of the blind
The development of science and technology
It provides a more diverse way for the blind to read
Peng Bin said
"It's easier to read now
I can read anytime, anywhere."
In addition to the traditional Braille books
Peng Bin also uses a variety of audiobook software
and learned to use the Braille reading dot display
Braille with 6 raised dots as the basic structure
In different runic variations
Spreading knowledge
描绘着世事
涤荡着心灵
Fingertips brushed
in the invisible world
The lights are on
