I just saw a news story about a blind PhD named Huang Ying. Her story really moved me.刘娜: Yes. Although she can't see, she studies every day with screen-reading software and even helps her roommate organize study materials. She often brings meals from the cafeteria for her roommate too.小潘: At first, I thought maybe her roommate was 'taking advantage' of her. But Huang Ying said she likes being treated as a normal person and said, 'I can do anything.' That really shocked me.刘娜: Exactly, that’s the point. We shouldn’t look at blind people only through the lens of ‘disadvantage.’ In fact, many times, they just live in a different way.小潘: I understand now—it’s not that they need special care from us, but that we should learn mutual understanding and respect.刘娜: Well said. Huang Ying’s story reminds us that true inclusion is about ‘seeing’ everyone’s abilities, whether they can ‘see’ or not.
