When she was three years old, Su Xiaotang suffered permanent damage to her optic nerve due to improper medication administered by a village doctor. She has lived in boundless darkness ever since. She is the daughter of a poor peasant family deep in the mountains. No one thinks that she can study, go out of the mountains, and become a useful person to society. But her mother used mud to knead the first Chinese character, and her father used bamboo to pave a blind path from the door of her home to the entrance of the village.
