By Tan Yingzi and Deng Rui
According to the 2023 Statistical Bulletin on the Development of Disability Services released by the federation, China is vigorously promoting national standard sign language and national standard Braille.
There are 128 special education regular high schools in the country, with 12,429 students enrolled, including 1,816 partially sighted students.
At a national seminar on partially sighted education held in October last year in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, Ju Sihua, director of the Visual Impairment Education Research Center at Nanjing Normal University of Special Education, pointed out that the scale and demand for partially sighted education in China are significant, yet the quality needs improvement, Xinhua Daily Telegraph reported.
Despite their limited educational background, their commitment to learning is truly remarkable. Apart from attending their regular classes, members of the Running in the Dark Chongqing branch spontaneously share interpretations of Chinese poems via voice messages within their WeChat group.
