"see" not see
When the reporter saw Huang Yanping, he was arranging music.
The room, less than 8 square meters, is both his studio and his bedroom.
Despite being visually impaired, Huang Yanping relies on the screen-reading voice software called "Narrator" by the visually impaired, so he can read word by word the words, steps or procedures he has selected on the computer.

At the age of 10, Huang Yanping came into contact with the piano at a school for the blind, and at that time, his talent in music gradually showed.

Huang Yanping is the soul of the group, responsible for arranging, singing and directing.
He said that there are many visually impaired people like him who can arrange and compose music, but very few can be professionally engaged in music like him.
"We are no worse than normal people", hoping to have equal employment opportunities and allow more visually impaired people to do their favorite jobs.
During the rehearsal, he repeatedly corrected the timbre, intonation, articulation and other flaws in the team's singing.
He hopes to use performances to convey the positive voice of the visually impaired and inspire more people.

Zhu Weixian is not visually impaired and acts as the "eyes" of the members when the group has performances or rehearsals.
In recent years, Zhu Weixian has seen the growth and transformation of the group and won many awards.
"As a special group, they have relatively few opportunities to perform on stage." He said with emotion, "Affected by the epidemic in recent years, their rehearsal and singing are more like self-entertainment, and it is not easy for a few people to persevere. "

"Like us,
Walking in the sunshine, walking in the crowd"
When she is free, her friend Ms. Zhang will ask Huang Yanping to help tune the piano.
"His tune is accurate, his speed is fast, and he is very talkative, so whenever there is any problem with the piano, I will think of him immediately." Ms. Zhang said.

In a movie "Tuina" about the blind, it is said that the attitude of the blind to the sound people is like the attitude of the sound people to the gods: Respect ghosts and gods and stay away.
But in reality, many blind people are very happy to make friends with ordinary people.
"No one around me sees me as a blind person." This is exactly what Huang Yanping wants, and what all visually impaired people want.
The members of the "See" group often walk together on the playground and outdoors.
