Teacher helps deaf-mute children with love

In the past 13 years, Li Hongjia of Hubei province has helped nearly 500 deaf-mute children return to ordinary schools.

As a teacher at the Little Sunflower Rehabilitation Center in Wuhan, she said it has been her great happiness to hear the children speak, especially when they said "mom" or "dad" for the first time.

Sometimes, the first "mom" was said to the teacher herself, and Li did feel as though she were the child's mother.
