Students have the vision to enjoy the sport they love
Sun Yuandong and Fan Changjie, two first-year students at Changchun University, in Jilin province, enjoy playing soccer, despite having visual impairments.
They are both learning acupuncture and tuina, a traditional form of manipulative therapy, in a special education school at the university.
Before they joined the university, they were both keen players in home provinces of Shaanxi and Liaoning.
Because of their visual impairments, they use a soccer ball with bells in it, so they can follow the sounds.
“Our courses have a much heavier workload than before but we still try to find the time we need to practice soccer because of our ardent love for it,” said Fan. “And it’s really a good chance for us to communicate with our schoolmates.”
Sun said: “It is not only a game but also it encourages me to run without fear. I will continue to follow my dream.”
