Mu Mengjie was a blind farmer who lived in Dongxinzhai Village, in a town called Ping Xiang in Hebei Province. Though he never received any formal education, Mengjie’s dream from a young age was to live a respectable, meaningful life. With a bamboo stick in hand, he ventured out at age 13 and made a living as a street performer, tasting all the bitterness the world had to offer. With perseverance and passion, he became a storyteller, well known in cities like Baoding, Shijiazhuang, and earned his first “pot of gold” in life. Once Mengjie became a millionaire, no one expected that he would be so determined to open a school for the blind in his hometown. His school would accept anyone who was visually impaired regardless of their condition and charged no fees. Students could continue to study at the

school until they mastered their skills. With a pure mind and a kind heart, Mengjie offered lots of help which benefited many blind people and their families.
