(240519) -- CHANGSHA, May 19, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Daughter Zhang Yuhan (L) attends a class accompanied by his father Zhang Yongsheng (R) at a child development center in Changsha, central China's Hunan Province, May 17, 2024. Though hearing-impaired, Zhang Yongsheng and his wife Zhan Jingwen managed to make their daughter, who also suffers from the same disability, hear at the age of two. By running a snack stall at a night market and thanks to support from their relatives and friends, the couple managed to afford a cochlear implant for her daughter's left ear and a hearing aid for the daughter's right ear. "It is too expensive to have the similar treatment for me and my wife, and we have already been accustomed to the silent world anyway. What we want is to make sure our daughter can hear." Earlier this year, when the family's story was spread out by a blogger, they surprisingly received loads of kindness and encouragement from a lot of strangers. Thanks to the hearing aids donated to them in January
