Have you ever been to a zoo to see animals? Probably yes.

But for Du Wei, it’s always “No”. The 13-year-old student, at the Lanzhou School for the Blind, Deaf and Mute(盲聋哑学校) has never seen an animal.

Du was born with weak eyesight, but he still has a big dream. He wants to make all the animals as he “sees” in his mind. Du uses clay (黏土) to make sculptures(雕刻). “I love animals.101  By making sculptures,  I want to ask people to protect them.” Du said.

At Du’s school, 30 other blind teens also like working with clay. 102 They spend two hours each week learning to imagine and feel all kinds of things. Then they make them out of clay.

Their teacher, Su Wanjiu, makes pots and animals for them to feel. 103 He makes them imagine what things look like. “all kids have their own ideas. They are very imaginative. One kid even made a dragon with legs! Playing with clay brings them confidence and love of life.” Su said.

Last term, the 16-year-old boy, Li Wenhao, made a pen holder with clay for his little sister. He said, “ 104我想告诉她要努力学习。  ”

Li wants to be a sculptor when he 105_______. “ Whatever normal kids can do, I can do, too.” Li said.
