December 8, 2010 at 5:06 AMI never dreamed that I would see a lesson on Chinese Sign Language on ChinesePod. Amazing. By the way, the safety instruction video that China Eastern shows on the plane during take off, notice the stewardess in it uses sign language to welcome the passengers. That was unthinkable 20 years ago.
Posted on: Blind Massage
November 27, 2010 at 1:52 AMThere are very few assistive devices available to those who are blind, in China. Learning to use a white cane to navigate streets, use braille devices for writing, and to use seeing eye dogs requires lengthy training and trained teachers. Career training for the blind is extremely limited as well. They are traditionally placed in careers involving massage and music.
