Meet You with Sound as Light

In the boring data pile of the subsistence allowance section of the Ningnan Civil Affairs Bureau, Ruan Tang's life was completely disrupted by a household verification task - the newly applied for subsistence allowance household with "first-level visual disability" turned out to be Tong Shuai, her "brother" who suddenly lost contact seven years ago and once brightened her gloomy youth. The once bright and cheerful architectural talent is now trapped in the quagmire of blindness and family debt. He builds high walls with indifference and refuses to recognize each other. The shock of the reunion and the belated truth (Tong Shuai lost his sight because of his courage) tore Ruan Tang's heart. Regardless of worldly opinions and rumors, she firmly approached Tong Shuai's world as the person responsible for helping. The lucky bead on his wrist that Tong Shuai gave him when he was eighteen has become a token connecting the past and the present. She encouraged the depressed Tong Shuai to pick up a camera and record the visually impaired life with "Shuai Shuai's Food Diary", which unexpectedly became an Internet hit. From sharing delicious food to bravely launching the "Footsteps in the Dark" series, Tong Shuai uses his lens to show the plight and tenacity of the visually impaired, not only regaining their confidence and value, but also unexpectedly promoting social attention to issues such as blind alley occupation and barrier-free environments. At the same time, Ruan Tang's work in Qinglin Town has not stopped. She and her enthusiastic partner He Zhaoning went deep into the countryside and gained insights into the real plight of rural subsistence households, mostly disabled or seriously ill families. They kept in touch and pioneered the introduction of simple handicrafts into the village, igniting the hope of self-reliance for the villagers who were trapped at home. Tong Shuai no longer rejected Ruan Tang, and the two of them faced everything life had to offer...
