Wang Xinan’s son, Chengcheng, was born in 2000. However, one day, she found the baby boy didn’t appear to respond(回应) normally to loud noises. A cup hit the ground next to Chengcheng while he slept. It didn’t wake him. During one of his short sleeps, an iron(铁) plate fell outside, causing quite a bit of noise. Again, he kept sleeping. Wang finally had a doctor examine Chengcheng further. When he was about a year old, the doctor said he had serious hearing loss.

Wang was crestfallen. She remembers spending days crying and thinking about ending her life. Luckily, she got lots of help from her family. They encouraged her to pay more attention to educating Chengcheng. Wang decided to teach her son to read lips(嘴唇) when he was just 18 months old. It’s not easy to teach any child to pronounce words, let alone one with hearing loss. But Wang didn’t give up. She bought Chengcheng a hearing aid, and taught him to watch her mouth and let him touch her throat as she spoke. Slowly, Chengcheng’s ability to speak and read improved. He got a cochlear implant(人工耳蜗植入) in 2012 when he was in junior high school, and eight years later, he went to a university.

Wang decided to use the skills she learned to help other families with children like her son. In 2003, she opened a free workshop to teach children how to speak and read lips. In 2010, Wang set up a rehabilitation(康复) center. So far, 3,000 families have got help there.
