At an early age
Zhao Zikang was diagnosed with congenital cerebral palsy
Causes a physical disability and prevents them from walking normally
But the injustice of fate did not break him
He relied on amazing perseverance
Reborn from adversity
In this year's college entrance examination
With an excellent score of 697 points
He was admitted to the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University
Zhao Zikang can't remember exactly
Exactly what year did you start getting sick
From childhood
Imprinted in his impression
It was his parents who took him to major hospitals
The scene of rushing to seek medical treatment
"This child has cerebral palsy
I may not be able to walk for the rest of my life..."
Zhao Zikang was originally one
A lively and cheerful little boy who loves to laugh and make fun
The torment of illness
But let him reach the age of elementary school
Still unable to go to school
Childhood Zhao Zikang
fortunately
Zhao Zikang's cognitive awareness and hand strength
It's all normal
In order to fulfill his dream of reading
By the third grade of elementary school
His parents sent him to school
But for rehabilitation
He had to attend classes only half a day
Children who have been "abandoned" by fate
I also understand that learning opportunities are hard to come by
He cherished that half day
Strive to absorb the nectar of knowledge from the classroom

And in order to stand up and walk as much as possible
Zhao Zikang insisted on it every day
Do hundreds of rehabilitation exercises
Leg lifting, leg extension, kicking, leg release...
He struggled to complete every instruction given by his doctor
Although every day after doing it, the muscles are sore and sweating profusely
But at a young age, he gritted his teeth
Never shout a word of pain to your family
He longs for the day when he can stand up on his own
No longer rely on the support of others
Parents are Zhao Zikang's strongest and warmest support
The power of love
Let him digest the negative emotions little by little
It also inspired his fighting spirit in the difficult situation of life
After perseverance in rehabilitation
He didn't have that much trouble standing up
5 rice, 10 rice, 20 rice, 100 rice, 500 rice...
Although every step staggered
But he was finally able to walk
Part of the rehabilitation training equipment
In junior high school
Zhao Zikang has a "vague fascination" for Tsinghua
At that time, he still had to spend a lot of time every day
In rehabilitation
Getting admitted to Tsinghua was a bit out of reach for him
After high school
His exam scores are often at the top
And behind this
It was he who put in more diligence than ordinary people
"Mom is often past 6 a.m
Just send me to school
Study at home at home until 11 o'clock in the evening
Thunder can't move"
Even if the physical strength is not enough to stick to the evening self-study
Zhao Zikang still insists on being at home
Keep the same review rhythm as your classmates
Outside of learning
He is also actively involved in school organizations
"Online teaching" activities for poverty-stricken areas
and "popular science society" activities
I hope to illuminate others with my own glimmer

When filling out the volunteer
He firmly chose Tsinghua University
The day you get your acceptance letter
Mom said with tears in her eyes
"The hard work of so long has finally paid off!"
And Dad posted a circle of friends
P.S. "Life's proudest moment! ”
That day
The whole family burst into tears with emotion...
now
Zhao Zikang is already in Tsinghua Garden

Zhao Zikang is full of expectations
"Computing is a fascinating subject
I want to use what I have learned about computers
Come and explore this wonderful world

The future for the development of the country and society
Do your part"
His parents sent Zhao Zikang to report to Tsinghua
