西方傳教士於19世紀在中國設立的盲人學校，經常被視為當代中國特殊教育的開端。這些學校對盲人究竟產生什麼樣的影響，相關研究迄今極少從盲人學生本身角度來加以檢視。本文以相隔百年的兩位女性盲人為比較對象，一位是1836年生的Agnes Gützlaff，另一位是1936年生的程文輝。透過她們精采的生命故事來探討時代變遷中，盲人教育對不同社會階層的女性的可能影響，希望能引起更多人對這議題的注意。

In the 19th century, Western missionaries established schools for the blind in China, which have often been regarded as the beginning of special education in modern China. However, there is a dearth of research on the impact of these schools on blind students, particularly from their own perspectives. To address this lacuna, the present article compares the life stories of two women, Agnes Gützlaff (1836-1869?) and Cheng Wenhui 程文輝 (1936-2011), who were born blind a century apart. By examining their life stories, this study investigates the effects of education on blind women from diverse social backgrounds and how it has evolved over time, and consequently, desires to attract more academic attention to this important issue.
