example, blind people cannot see, but they can still read books.
The man who introduced blind people to reading was Louis Braille. Braille lost his eyesight at the age of three. When he was ten, he went to a school for the blind in Paris. In those days, books for blind people used paper pressed against metal wire (金属 丝) to form letters. Since the metal wire was heavy, each book weighed as much as 100 pounds. Indeed, the school library only had fourteen such books in it.
In 1821, a soldier visited the school and showed the students a system for passing messages at night. His system used paper with small, raised dots that could be felt with the fingers. The soldiers would pull their fingers over the raised dots to read the message.
While the students found the soldier's idea interesting, the system was too difficult to use. However, young Louis Braille took the idea and worked on it. At the age of fifteen, he created a system with patterns of six raised dots symbolizing each letter. "Braille", the system for reading used today by blind people around the world, was born.
Today, it is the most common system used by blind people for reading and writing.
