TRANSLATION OF TEXT FROM VIDEO INTERVIEW (APRIL 28, 2005)

Chen Yongfa:

It has had an obvious effect on me. My eyesight has improved. I can see more characters than before. I can see more clearly and coherently than before. I can see Chinese characters more clearly now. I could not write characters before if I stopped while writing. I can remember all of the strokes of the characters now. It doesn’t matter if I stop. I can write characters one stroke at a time. I can write the characters easily. That is I can remember the strokes of the characters. That’s it. But I still cannot see the small-sized characters yet.

Girlfriend:

It has been four months since he started his treatment. In those four months, I find that he has changed a lot. He has made obvious progress. He can do addition and subtraction to one thousand. His eyesight is obviously better. Now when he reads people’s names, he can say them quickly. He can see characters at first sight that he couldn’t before. He can remember strokes of characters and write intricate characters, which he couldn’t do at all before. He couldn’t write them one stroke at a time.

Chen Yongfa: I can remember a lot of things.

Girlfriend:

Yes, he can remember a lot of things that he couldn’t remember before. He couldn’t be independent before, but now he can. Now he has the basic ability to be independent. Right?

Chen Yongfa: Yes.

Girlfriend: Now the effect of the treatment is very obvious.

Chen Yongfa: I used to often put the tooth paste on the back of the toothbrush, but now I don’t.

Girlfriend: Now he can figure out how much toothpaste he should squeeze out and where he should put it.

Chen Yongfa:

In my opinion, the treatment has had a slight effect so far. I can recognize things a little better. There’s no change in my hearing. I have made progress in recognizing characters. I can remember some characters that are used often. As for my ability to calculate, I made slight progress. On the whole, I made progress to some degree. There is only slight progress on other aspects. But there still is progress. I’m better than before.

Girlfriend:

It has been two months since his treatment. He indeed has made some progress. He couldn’t recognize the numbers on his fingers before. Now he can recognize them 9 out of 10 times now. He can figure it now. His sight is slightly better now and so is his memory. He doesn’t often lose his temper now. During the last two months, they looked after him carefully every night, and they have good techniques, and we are in good mood. So he made some progress. It is obvious. Before, he wanted to guess the number when he saw the fingers representing the numbers. But now he can tell the number of fingers in front of him exactly. It was hard for him to tell the number of the finger just on one hand before, but now he can tell the number easily for two hands. He counts it exactly, which he could not do before.
