Abstract:

The Daybreak records the story of Mr. Ke, a lecturer in Japanese at the Institute for the Blind of Taiwan, and the stories of other institute members. Mr. Ke started learning Japanese after becoming blind. With mental persistence and strong will, Mr. Ke got both a first and an MBA degree. What's more, he is ready to take up the challenge of being a blind person teaching the sighted Japanese, which is what has been called a "Mission Impossible" Furthermore, Mr. Ke is the first user of a guide dog in Taiwan. He is a supporter for the visual-disadvantaged people in Taiwan, and silently fights for their opportunities and rights. Mr. Ke has encountered more misunderstandings than others.

Mr. Zhang had been terribly depressed. However, he realized that giving massages is also a way to be a manager. Therefore, he tried hard to live his life as an institute member for a whole year. Mr. Zhong lost his eyesight in the prime time of his life. His wife's misunderstanding and the pressure of raising children made him frustrated. Through religion, Mr. Zhong walked out the shadows.--Visible Record
