Born in 1809 in Coupvray, France, Louis Braille endured an eye injury which left him blind at three years old and until his death at age 43.

Iqbal Masin
伊拜爾·馬西
Sold into bonded child labor to a carpet industry in the Pakistani town of Muridke for the equivalent of about twelve US dollars, Iqbal was forced to work 12-hour days.

He was assassinated on Easter Monday in 1995 presumably by the "Carpet Mafia".
