The story of a disabled man and seven children
There is a disabled man named Wang Huiwang in Wanger Town, Yanshan County. He makes a living by singing about happy events in the countryside and working as a tour guide. Despite the hard life, he adopted five abandoned babies and two children from poor families and sent them to school to read and write. His good deed was a story in the land.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY
CONTRIBUTIONS OF GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY Gestalt psychology thinks as our minds as a whole and not as elements. Gestalt psychology had started by Max Wertheimer. He came up with the concept of Phi phenomenon where flashing lights if they are continuous look like a straight line of light or an apparent motion. Motion pictures picked this up where movement can happen with light where there is no movement at all. Gestalt Laws of Perceptual Organization…..when the flashing lights keep moving. The gestalt law says that a person’s behavior is not based on a person’s elements but their mind/body as a whole. The great thinkers that loved gestalt law were Max Wertheheimer, Kurt Koffka, and Wofgang Kohler. They believed our minds filled in the missing gaps of information. This is how perception came about. Gestalt psychologist believed that the whole of something is better than parts of something. Gestalt psychologists came up with different laws to help understand perception. These are called the Laws of Perceptual Organization.
