Philip is a 55-year-old blind man. He can smell a rose (玫瑰), but he cannot tell if it is red, white or blue. It does not matter to him; he enjoys the beauty of the smell itself.

But his life is not a bed of roses. It is difficult for him to travel. He cannot drive, but he can travel by bus. At home he cannot just look out of window to see what the weather is like. He cannot look at the clock on the wall to see what time it is. He uses a special radio for that.

He is a musician. He plays the saxophone (萨克斯管), but not in a band (乐队). Four times a week, he sits down on the sidewalk and plays. He puts an upside-down (倒放的) hat in front of him with a little money in it.

“The money keeps the hat from blowing away,” he says. “It also lets people know where to put their money. I’ll make anywhere from $10 to $30. One evening I made almost $100. Another evening, someone took all money. I guess he needed it more than I did.”
