The more than 20-Year-old Shen is a Shanghai girl, a blind college student.  In order to reflect their value, Shen with 4 other visually impaired people started a website, began a different entrepreneurial experience. Wen/map This reporter Tao more than 20-year-old Shen is a beautiful girl, a blind girl. Shen suddenly lost his sight in 2003, when he was a college student at an art design college in Shanghai.  The trajectory of life has changed. Puzzled blind college students want to realize self-worth spent two years, Shen from the state of numbness, and began to ponder the direction of life. She began to receive some job training, but there was still no way out and it was hard to get employment. "I don't want to go through the streets to arrange employment. I want to have a play space that can embody self-worth. In the 6th year after Shen eyes went blind, she met with the visually impaired, such as Zhang Ping, a graduate of special education in East Psychology.  They have a new goal: a partnership to open an online shop. Entrepreneurial choice open a shop in Shanghai opening Guidance Center volunteers, love people Zhang teacher is the special start-up team's initial support.  Open shop of thousands of yuan funds by teacher Zhang free of charge. Shen said, "Teacher Zhang on TV to see us, the initiative to contact us." After discussion, we all think that open shop is a good stage.  "Shen said, open shop has several advantages, one is to stay at home can achieve employment; second, after the installation of reading screen software, good eyesight is no longer necessary for the Internet, employment options become diversified.  Despite the intense competition, e-commerce allows blind people to compete, Zhang said. Opening a dream people appear help but how to open shop? Blind people cannot find their ways. At this time, "The Dream Person" appeared, everyone affectionately called her "LAN sister".  "LAN Sister" formerly known as Roland, Taobao University is the chief lecturer, but also a shop seller.  Roland never know that the blind can still surf the internet, "before the heart of a little grasp, with a curiosity came." But the scene after the meeting made Roland surprised: a few blind people not only fluent in the Internet, but also typing quickly, and the average person. "Completely beyond my imagination.  Roland sighed unceasingly. Later, Roland to the busy people said: "You can try."  She gave the blind people a job and instructed them to get as much information as possible about online shopping.  From September 16, 2009 to 18th, the 3-day training was held in a Shanghai company.  Action online selling mother and child supplies September 17, 2009 noon, a name for the "Heart of the World" website officially registered successfully. Shen became the head of this special start-up team. Shen said, "chose a path of their own, concentrated ourA lot of willing. "The shop has also encountered some difficulties. Because the blind can not use color to do shop decoration, shop decoration is Roland help to do together. In addition, the other content of the website is done by the team members. Unlike other online stores, this shop's commodity classification is marked with text. Zhang Ping said: "Sometimes normal people with the mouse point three to solve the problem, we use words to express words, it may take a day." "At present, this special team mainly engaged in maternal and child products."  They do not have a special place of business, are in their own home office, and through the network real-time contact. There is a division of labor among the members of the entrepreneurial team: Zhang Ping is a technical person in the entrepreneurial team.  Every day in bed, Zhang Ping will sit in front of the computer "listen" Edge of the Internet, which has become his life habits. Breakthrough "Listen" to the computer Internet team members of the computer are installed specifically for the visually impaired people to provide services to read the screen software. All the text information on the computer screen will turn into sound.  Zhang Ping also gave this reporter a demonstration. After the computer turned on, the information on the screen was quickly read by him, because the speed of reading too fast, the reporter could not hear clearly. "This is already slow, about a minute or more than 200 words," Zhang said. If fast, you can read 500 words a minute. "The blind cannot see the outside world, but listening is often trained to be particularly developed." Xiao Bin said, 100,000 words of the novel, he only in 4 hours to hear. "It's only medium speed. "Get up 8 o'clock in the morning every day until 12 o'clock night, and Zhang Ping is almost on the internet." Zhang Ping said, usually everyone's pastime is mainly in the computer, computers and mobile phones are very important to us, although now use up some trouble, but can not be separated from.  It's hard to imagine a day without a computer. Unforgettable first business has been made after nearly half a year of operation, this Taobao online shop has reached the "4 star". Since the beginning, the daily trading volume is not much.  But every member of the team remembers one day very clearly: Last October 26, they made their first deal online.  Although the 3-part stove oil is 18 yuan, the deal is enough to make 5 team members excited for a long time. January 7, a single business also let Shen unforgettable.  A client wants to buy a 268-dollar sleeping bag, but she bargained for 1 hours for 2 yuan. Because the eye can not see, cannot transcribe the courier list, therefore this blind pioneering team only is responsible for the sale, the commodity is delivered by the supplier on behalf.  Roland said that this year plans to introduce some of the disabled to do the work of the shipment. "Now the business is not very prosperous, many times, one day there are five or six single business, less time a single also did not." One-month gross profit is only one thousand or two thousand yuan.  Shen said that the income would be divided into 6, with the exception of 5 start-up members, the remaining 1 were deposited in funds dedicated to helping the blind, "although there is not much money now". "It is not realistic to expect to have an online shop to feed itself. "Roland said," The blind university students have a state-issuedSubsidies, what they want to do is the public good. We want to let other blind people see, as long as through efforts, many ordinary people can do things we can do! ”
