Yanglinshan fortune-telling

Everyone will be disabled at some stage in life. Some people are just ahead of time, and some people are old, because they are sick, their legs and feet are not flexible, or they are blind. If more people pay attention to the disabled, they are saving energy for the whole society and themselves.

"Now it's subtitles, the screen looks like a pool of muddy water, and the names of the cast members flow down like blood."

"In the lens, there are tall buildings and subway stations. The hero Jiang Zhongtian is with his girlfriend Wen Xin. Wen Xin is very beautiful, with an oval face, big eyes and bangs. "

65438+1October 24th, cloudy, the movie "Door" is being shown in Beijing Xingmei Cinema. David, the narrator of the film, has a deep and magnetic voice, which vividly describes the film. The audience was blindfolded by a blue silk scarf. Most of these special audiences are blind and volunteers. David's explanation became indispensable information for everyone to "understand" the film.

A healthy person will never take the initiative to close his eyes and listen to movies. Occasionally trying seems to be a novel experience, and a blind person can only "watch" movies in this way. The first thing director Lee said after taking off the blue silk scarf was, "It's great to see it again."

Overseas, TV stations or cinemas will regularly broadcast barrier-free film and television works for special people to enjoy. However, in Chinese mainland, most people still don't understand the entertainment needs of special groups such as the blind and the deaf. Hongdandan Education and Cultural Exchange Center is a non-profit organization in Beijing that specializes in helping the disabled. Since July 2005, founders Zheng Xiaojie and David and his wife have insisted on helping blind friends in a very special way-talking about movies.

David said, "We usually show movies on TV, and I explain them. The conditions are extremely simple, so I especially hope to really walk into the cinema with them and enjoy the movie. "

Television and movies in bungalows.

Go west along Beijing Old Gulou Street, pass Sanyuan Milk Company, and turn an antique building, which is No.79 courtyard of Gulou West Street. A gray brick bungalow in the yard is very inconspicuous and inconspicuous, but it attracts some blind people like Yang Linshan like a magnet.

Every Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, the blind people in suburban counties gather here early to enjoy a movie explained by David for free. The conditions are naturally simple. In a small bungalow that can only accommodate more than 30 people, there is only one TV, one DVD player and one loudspeaker. Over the past year or so, 50 or 60 films have been shown here.

The person who tells the film is the key, and everyone is full of praise for David's interpretation level. "He speaks very well and has a nice voice. He said that we can smell the grass, as if it were green in spring. "

"We only went to four people when it rained, and no one came again until 10. Finally, he told a movie to the four of us, which was as vivid as usual. We seem to have eyes in our hearts. " Yang Linshan said.

This small bungalow has a nice name-"Soul Cinema", but in the eyes of the blind, this is their happy paradise, "Paradise Cinema", because there are no blind people in heaven.

"In fact, the blind people want the same way that we healthy people want to enjoy life. A friend told me a story. More than ten years ago, he was watching movies in the cinema. Blind friends went there to watch movies and asked their trade unions for tickets, so they had to sit in the middle. This is the mentality of longing for equality. " Zheng Xiaojie said.

In July 2003, she registered the Hongdandan Education and Cultural Exchange Center, and devoted herself to the comprehensive ability development of the disabled in the community. Many years ago, when she was still working in the Department of Aerospace, she took part in the self-taught examination in Peking University. She has a disabled friend in her class whose leg is polio. Every time she goes upstairs, she climbs upstairs with both hands. "In the end, it took me eight years to finish my major in psychology. That disabled friend gave me important support. Without her, I might have given up long ago, so I always want to repay someone like her subconsciously. "

At first, David only promised to help his wife for half a year. As a result, he couldn't get out after investing in it, and he gave up the good business he had done. In recent years, they have continuously invested their savings and spent all their money. Brothers and sisters feel that the quality of life has dropped too much and life is too hard. Friends around me think the couple are crazy. Some relatives and friends even think that dealing with disabled people all day will bring bad luck. On the one hand, they are afraid to borrow money from themselves and avoid it.

"Hong Dandan" has done TV programs and radio programs for the disabled, given legal training to the blind, and tried to cultivate talents for blind broadcasters. David and Zheng Xiaojie have become more and more familiar with this combination. Once a blind friend went to their house to play, and it happened that David was watching Terminator in the home theater. He invited this friend to watch it together, trying to make up for the lack of visual information of the other party through explanation. After the film ended, no one expected that the blind man picked up David and circled around, shouting excitedly, "I see, it's wonderful to enjoy it for the first time." This incident is a great blow to David and his wife. Later, they did a lot of social surveys and asked many blind people. No one said that he didn't like being told about movies, and he was particularly eager.

If I have three dark days

If telling movies to the blind is a profession, David may be the first person in Chinese mainland to insist on it. People who are familiar with his voice can hear him talking about movies every night 10, 10 from the program "Soul Cinema" of Beijing People's Broadcasting Station.

The program was launched in May 2006, and it is a movie program for the blind. When I first met the audience, David talked about the famous dance Guanyin with a Thousand Hands. This requires a certain skill, which can't be practiced in a few days, so some people call him a "professional volunteer".

The first film shown in the small bungalow in No.79 courtyard of Gulou West Street was Hoh Xil. Yang Linshan still remembers the picture inside: in the desert, the convoy protecting the Tibetan antelope was trapped. Although he can't tell exactly what the Tibetan antelope looks like, he understands the truth of protecting the environment. "David knows what we need."

In order to experience the feeling of blindness, David closed his eyes while walking with his wife, who led him trustfully. That's the usual route they take for a walk every day. There are about four bus stops. However, David, who lost his visual information, became more and more suspicious, wanting to know everything around him, and he was very flustered. When he returned to his own feelings to talk about movies, the content and the understanding of the blind were improved more and more.

"Red Dandan" also organized the activity "If you give me three days of darkness": 30 volunteers put on black eye patches, and only two girls persisted at noon on the first day. One of the female college students actually cried after taking off the blindfold. She waved and shouted, "God, I finally see the light again!" " "

"It's only been half a day, but many blind people have to face this darkness all their lives!" David sighed.

For ordinary people, to understand and feel the world, 80% of the information is obtained through vision. For blind people who have lost their sight, only 20% of the world is felt by them through touch and hearing. There are more than 100000 blind people in Chinese mainland, which means that almost 8 of these1000 people are blind.

In order not to miss every information in the picture, David has to watch a movie two or three times before telling it, and make detailed records with paper and pen. "The lens language of movies is sometimes too general and very fast. If you don't know the next shot, you can't connect many things in the story. "

"In addition to describing the height and thinness of the characters, remember the names of the characters. Different characters even have different tones and sounds, which is very important for the blind to understand the content. "

"When telling, try not to talk in a conversational way. If the live sound effects can be separated, talk as much as possible, because the sounds don't overlap. If you are together, pay attention to overlapping sounds. "

David taught these summarized "movie classics" to people who volunteered in the "Mind Cinema", including white-collar workers, lawyers, college students and public figures.

However, there is one feature that others can hardly imitate, and that is the conclusion of David's film. This is a lesson that he must carefully prepare every time, and write down his understanding of the film in the ending song that is played repeatedly. These self-digested sentences can help the blind really "understand" the deeper meaning of the film. Many people are used to it. After watching a movie and hearing the final conclusion, they feel satisfied and satisfied.

"Tokyo Trial" is David's most satisfying movie story so far, especially after the final conclusion, the atmosphere at the scene is quiet and serious, not as relaxed as usual. A blind man said, "I can't cry." I feel uncomfortable in my chest, but I am very excited and excited. " David said: "This is love for the nation and the motherland."

When watching TV at home, his mouth is not idle. He followed the TV picture and practiced speaking while watching it. Zheng Xiaojie usually listens to him and asks questions and suggestions without looking at the picture. For example, "there is a woman with a strange hairstyle", it is better to "there is a woman in the shape of bread" "He has a strong language organization ability, and I never quarrel with him. Coupled with this practice, I am even more noisy. " Zheng Xiaojie had a good time.

"In fact, the key to a good movie is to treat the blind equally." This is David's most important Heart Sutra.

Everyone can be an angel Emily.

When recording the radio program "Heart Cinema", David will also compile and broadcast the program with his blind apprentice, another project of "Red Dandan". Since 2004, he and his wife have trained several blind children, basically mastered the editing, directing and broadcasting of radio programs, and some people have obtained the second-class certificate of Putonghua.

These blind children live in the dormitory of "Hongdandan", and all expenses such as living expenses and tuition fees are funded by the couple, and the amount is quite large. "At present, our ability is limited and we can only help individual children, but we want more blind children to see hope. Blind people can't just do massage or be fortune tellers. "

Zheng Xiaojie admits that his care for his son is often not comprehensive for these children. Fortunately, my son understands his parents very well. Now he is also a volunteer of "Hong Dandan" and often gives advice to his parents.

This is a very interesting family, and a sense of freedom of religion flows in this family. His parents are devout Buddhists, but his son is interested in Christianity. A reporter asked him what he thought of his parents' public welfare undertakings. The young man smiled and said, "Nothing, I think they just sent a glass of water to people walking in the desert."

In the past, due to business entertainment, David and Zheng Xiaojie would go to high-end restaurants for dinner, tea, bowling and billiards at night. After the creation of "Red Dandan", it basically made ends meet, and the material life is not what it used to be. It is also very satisfying to go to a small restaurant in an alley once in a while. Zheng Xiaojie shouted: "Now is the happiest day in our family for so many years. It is really happy that three people go to work together every day. "

June 65438+1October 65438+April 2006, "Hongdandan" organized 50 blind friends to touch the Great Wall. In the eyes of many participants, this activity has made the world in their hearts bigger. "The bricks of the Great Wall turned out to be like this, much bigger than mine." "I always hear what Mutianyu Great Wall looks like. I thought it was a hillside or something. I felt really great when I came. " "I feel very happy. I don't think I am disabled. " An activity of touching the Great Wall will bring such great joy to blind friends and even change their views on themselves.

Zheng Xiaojie and David still have many dreams. They hope to make their movies into audio books so that more blind people can "see" the movies. I hope that the trained blind host can participate in the interview and program broadcast of the 2008 Paralympic Games. They also envisage building a theme park for the disabled in China. Make models of all the famous buildings in the world, and then let the blind touch them. Even make a model of subway, sky and underground to let him know what the sky is like, what roads are like, what bridges are like, what subway holes are like, and how trains pass through.

Su Jingping, a senior talk show host, is the host of the radio program "Soul Cinema". He believes that everyone will be disabled at some stage in his life. Some people are just ahead of time, and some people are old, because they are sick, their legs and feet are not flexible, or they are blind. If more people pay attention to the disabled, they are saving energy for the whole society and themselves.

So as an ordinary person, what is the best and simplest way to help the blind? Zheng Xiaojie often asks friends around him, do you know how to guide the blind? In fact, there is a very simple way, that is, you stand in front of him and give him your arm, left arm or right arm as a fulcrum. He holds your arm, just like a lover, holding your arm, you hold him for a while and lead him across the road.

In Emily the Angel, one of David's favorite movies, a blind man hesitated on the side of the road and didn't know how to cross the road. At this time, Emily went over to help him and said, "I'll help you. Step down and let's go. Head on is the widow of the drum team commander. After her husband died, she has been wearing her husband's uniform and has been promoted step by step. The horse head on the sign above is missing an ear. The florist always smiles, and the wrinkles around his eyes can't go down. "

"Good smell? The owner of the fruit shop is cutting melons for the guests. Someone is buying peach ice cream. We just passed the butcher shop. Ham is 79 francs and ribs are 49 francs. Now it's a cheese shop, sour 12.9 francs, light 23.5 francs. It's funny, a child is watching a dog and a puppy is watching a chicken. Here we are. This is the newsstand beside the subway station. You should be familiar with it. We parted here. Ok, goodbye. "

A few minutes' journey, she repeated everything she saw to the blind people around her. The blind man stood there looking up at the sky. He said, God, I saw the angel you sent.

"I think for today's blind people, every healthy person can be this angel and everyone can be this Emily." David said. Source: Phoenix Weekly
