Cai Meiqi, 71 years old, is a "tour guide". She started to organize blind people to travel in
2007. They travelled from high mountain in Chongqing, the Great Wall in Beijing to the seaside beach in Thailand.
Cai herself is not healthy. She has only one eye. After hard work, she became a doctor. After retirement(退休), she joined in volunteer work for the blind. She found that they not only wanted to learn how to make money, but wished to "see" the world. So she decided to help them. However, it was hard for her. Once Cai went to the airport seven times to ask for enough seats and cheaper tickets. Luckily, many kind people helped them along the way.
Thanks to Cai, Li Daosheng, a man in the blind group, changed his bad habit. "Before this, my life was boring, so I took up smoking. After knowing that I could go outside, I stopped smoking and saved money for my trip," Li said. He took his first trip in 2008. He couldn't see the view(景色), but he still enjoyed himself. He could feel the different roads and hear the sound of new environments.
"I hope I can take blind people to touch the world as much as possible," Cai said.
