1. Yang Yang was a native of Liaoning Province. When he was in Grade Two, his
got worse. Later he was found to have
sick changes to his retina (视网膜). At 15, he had to
school because of his injured eyes.
“Though I
my eyesight, I wanted very much to read and study, even if just for
,” Yang says. “My parents
my eyes. They have read to me since my childhood.”
Yang
the national college entrance exam and entered the Changchun University of Chinese Medicine, where he
acupuncture (针灸). In 1999, Yang graduated from college and decided to go on for
education.
Later Yang bought a special software (软件) which helped him to
the Internet and send e-mails.With the software, Yang hoped to
a postgraduate (研究生) degree. But he found that no Chinese
offered such degrees specifically for sight-injured people. As the first step toward getting a post-graduate
from a foreign university, Yang decided to take the TOEFL for the blind.
After
English through computers,Yang took the test in Hong Kong,
a mark of 97 out of 120. After taking part in video interviews and
the necessary forms and papers, Yang was
47 to the University of Southern California.
“Studying can help me
my life. One can change one’s life through effort. I
believe that with effort, a child can draw a
world if you give him a pen and paper,” Yang says.
