For 60 years, Hong Kong Blind Union has been helping the visually impaired break barriers

The NGO provides funding, resources and other forms of support that aids the blind in achieving their goals.

Hongkonger Gideon Tse Lok-pin’s love for music began when he was eight. That was when he had his first piano class. Later, he became interested in the violin.

But pursuing music is not easy because Tse has been left with only 10 per cent vision.

“For piano, the keys were a blur, and I am very slow at sight-reading,” the 23-year-old said. “Learning a new piece took me a long time, and even then, my performance was far from satisfactory.”
