Tai Chi by touch

Lack of sight didn't stop two tai chi enthusiasts from learning their art - or sharing it with others, Zhang Yue reports.

There are two things that Li Langshu and Zheng Yuankang most-often crave: brightness and a compliment.

Zheng, born in 1992, lost his eyesight at the age of 13, and Li, born in 1991, became blind at 12. Now, as they work as tai chi teachers in Beijing, compliments have become more and more common for them.

Tai Chi by touch

"My job and life today gave me confidence that I haven't had since I lost my eyesight 10 years ago," Li says.

Li and Zheng now teach at the China Swordmen's Society in Beijing, a civil tai chi organization set up by Wan Zhouying, a tai chi master as well as Li and Zheng's teacher. The group not only gives free lessons to people who are interested in learning tai chi over weekends, it also holds training sessions for teachers in schools for the blind.

It took Li and Zheng two years to learn tai chi. Instead of following the teacher's usual instructions, Li and Zheng have to touch their teacher's body to feel each movement.

Li does not like wearing sunglasses. "Wearing sunglasses indicates that I am a blind person. I hate that. I do not want people see me differently," Li says, though he doesn't have a clear idea how he looks in sunglasses.

For that matter, he has a limited idea of his overall appearance, since he lost his eyesight at a young age.

"I was fat at that time, very naughty," he recalls, smiling. That is the image he has kept of himself to this day.

Li was a normal, naughty boy before the Lunar New Year of 2002. During the Spring Festival holiday, he and his friend were picking up abandoned fireworks in the countryside and wanted to re-light them. Both of his eyes were injured by an exploded firework, and he lost his eyesight in the following year.

He was in a terribly bad temper during the first year of his blindness. He was not allowed to go anywhere but forced to stay at home.

A masseur in Li's home village was sympathetic, and recommended the boy to a local massage-training school where visually challenged people could develop a skill to earn a living. One year later, Li came to Guangdong province with his elder brother and sister, and worked in a massage shop.

That was a miserable year for Li. "I was the youngest in the massage room, only 18. I was frequently blamed by customers because I was not professional, and customers asked for another massager," Li recalls.

"I was always afraid of complaints and being blamed," Li says.

Zheng, from a rural home in Cangzhou, Hebei province, had a similar miserable experience. After losing his eyesight because of illness, Zheng spent five years at home with his grandmother, who was bedridden.
