In a community theater, Du Chengcheng carefully recounts the plot of Lost on Journey, a popular 2010 comedy movie about a successful businessman and a migrant worker who travel home for Chinese New Year.
Instead of showing the film on the big screen, she tells the story verbally to an audience of visually impaired people.
Du, 32, is a volunteer for the disabled in Wuhan, Hubei province. She started presenting movies to the blind in 2010, when the local disabled people's federation built a "cinema for the blind" in Jiangjiadun residential community. "When I see visually impaired people laugh or cry because of the stories I tell them, I feel very emotional," she said.
