Chen Ching-chun, who graduated from the Dahlung Dong School for the Blind and Deaf, recalls the conflicts between the blind and the deaf students at the school. "I couldn't see. At mealtimes all I could do was hear the tables and chairs moving, the plates and bowls flying; I never knew who was winning and who was losing," says Chen.
大龍峒盲啞學校畢業的陳錦純，回憶盲生與聾生之間糾紛頻仍的就學時代說：「我眼睛看不到，往往只聽到桌椅、碗盤齊飛，也分不清誰勝誰負。」
