- Abstract
In the 19th century, Western missionaries established schools for the blind in China, which have often been regarded as the beginning of special education in modern China. However, there is a dearth of research on the impact of these schools on blind students, particularly from their own perspectives. To address this lacuna, the present article compares the life stories of two women, Agnes Gützlaff (1836-1869?) and Cheng Wenhui 程文輝 (1936-2011), who were born blind a century apart. By examining their life stories, this study investigates the effects of education on blind women from diverse social backgrounds and how it has evolved over time, and consequently, desires to attract more academic attention to this important issue.
