在非洲中部国家乌干达，有位著名盲人拳击手，名叫拉马森，他是乌干达人的偶像和英雄。拉马森原是拳击运动员，可一连串不幸在1996年突然降临在他身上；眼睛瞎了，照顾他的祖母去世，妻子离异，兄弟姐妹对他不理不睬……他的生存，只能靠当地清真寺的善款来维持。遭到亲人遗弃，朋友冷落，拉马森没有恼怒憎恨，没有放弃。他说，他们都有自己的难处，我要走自己的路。他又幽默地说：“我最不擅长的就是怨天尤人。”Bashir Ramathan is a well known figure in his neighborhood of Naguru, a district in Kampala that produced many talented boxers.

So, Bashir, when did you start learning to box?
