Masseur in the dark

A day in the life of a massage specialist who feels his way forward after suffering depression and sight loss

Li Xinchao was a 15-year-old village boy in Henan province when he lost his sight after a cataract operation. After surgery to restore his vision failed, he slipped into a deep depression and even contemplated suicide. Now 26, Li is a blind masseur in Beijing's Chaoyang district and says he is still looking for hope in his life.
