The TV drama Seeing Without Looking, which is about blind masseurs, has started shooting in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province.
The TV show is adapted from Bi Feiyu's novel Massage, which was one of the first Chinese novels to focus on the lives of blind people and won last year's Mao Dun Literature Prize.
The play is directed by Kang Honglei and will feature such stars as Pu Cunxin, Zhang Guoqiang and Li Jingjing.
The actors spent time at Beijing School for the Blind, studying massage and experiencing blind people's lives.
