Yesterday, I saw a blind person on the bus. I think he is a 100% blind person, because when he got on the bus, he didn’t see an old woman sat in the front of the bus. He just walked to that way until his stick touched that woman. I didn’t see any blind person take the bus in China, so I felt very surprise. I thought when he wants get off the bus, the driver would remind him. However, I was wrong. When he pulled the bell, no body reminded him. It looks like he can see everything by himself. At that time, I couldn’t believe it, because it was very difficult for a blind person. The bus does not like the C-train, and you can hear the sound that tells you which station you are. For this reason, I thought he did a perfect job. I told this thing to my host father last night. He told me that a blind person whose other organs are very sensitive. They can use some special way to do some thing. I thought that person maybe use the way that count how many times the bus turn right or turn left, and help him know where he is. I admire some handicapped people. They are very strong, and they never lose the hope of the life. They try their best to do all the things by themselves. They never give up.
