Liu Lingli is from Hengyang, a city in Hunan province, China. When she was a little girl, she met one of her neighbors, Mrs. Wang, who couldn’t hear and talk. That was one cold winter day. Liu was playing in her house. Wang used sign language to tell Liu something, but Liu did not understand. Mrs. Wang’s husband explained that she wanted to make her a scarf. This kind act touched Liu’s heart, and she wished Mrs. Wang could hear and talk.

This experience inspired Liu a lot. When she was 14, she decided to become a teacher for students who couldn’t hear. She went to Nanjing Normal University of Special Education and learned how to teach these students. After four years, she finished her studies and became a teacher at Hengyang Normal School of Special Education, and taught Chinese language to first graders.

Liu was very young when she started teaching. But she treated the students as her children. She practised sign language every day for hours before classes. She also taught the students how to wash their face and clothes. She became the “mother” of the students.

When Liu was 32, she had her own baby. Sadly, the boy was born with a hearing problem. Her friends advised her to take some time off and get him treated, but Liu didn’t want to leave her students alone. She chose to teach her own son how to make sounds by herself after work. After several months both her son and her students made much progress because of her hard work. Liu said she loved hearing her students say “mom” or “dad” for the first time — it was the best sound for her.
