A cold knowledge: 90% of people cannot walk in a straight line with their eyes closed. If the space is large enough, the path taken with eyes closed will form a circle. This knowledge point was told to me by visually impaired girl Ma Yinqing. "In the darkness, you don't have a reference frame, and if you walk a little further, you'll find yourself off track." As she said this, I was wearing an eye mask, tightly gripping my blind cane with both hands, trying to adapt to the darkness in front of me. There were sounds from all directions, but I couldn't distinguish the direction and could only stumble forward. When Ma Yinqing heard me shout loudly every step of my way, asking "Is there a roadblock ahead?" "Am I walking right or not?" "Is it time to turn?" She laughed and said, "You've known me for so long, why are you still so cowardly?" Yes, I'm too cowardly. Even though I've walked a lot of road with her, my own vision

"Driving from the city to Nicheng Town, many people will take a wrong road at this highway toll station." The toll station mentioned by Zhang Yinbiao, deputy to the Municipal People's Congress and secretary of the Party Committee of Nicheng Town, is the Lingang toll station on the Shanghai-Lu Expressway.
