"The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. Dong Lina, China's first visually impaired broadcaster and young reciter, and her partner Li Cangmao described the early spring in Xining with this poem.

If there is no precedent, then create a precedent
Dong Lina's life path can be described as difficult, due to congenital amblyopia, she has been completely blind since she was 10 years old. In the school for the blind, Dong Lina often heard the teacher tell the students: "You must learn Tuina well, this is your only way out in the future." ”
After graduating from secondary school, Dong Lina entered a massage parlor in Dalian and became a masseuse. "At that time, I didn't have too many ideas, and what I thought about the most every day was how many (customers) I pressed today, and how much (money) I could make. Dong Lina said.
Dong Lina said frankly when sharing with the young people at the scene that she did not accept the arrangement of fate and wanted a different life from others, "Moreover, the visually impaired group and the health vision group enjoy the same right to education, so I chose to take the self-examination in higher education." ”

"When I came to Beijing when I was 22 years old, I happened to learn that blind people can also take the self-examination of broadcasting and hosting, and I felt that this thing was what I wanted to do and could do well, so I devoted myself to the busyness of the self-examination of broadcasting and hosting. Dong Lina recalled that the road to study in Beijing was always full of ups and downs, and she still had "dreams" that others did not dare to do, she said: "If you don't even dare to dream, then what is the meaning of life." ”
Dong Lina's study in Beijing was not all smooth sailing, and she failed to take two self-exams, "The reason for being rejected was that there was no such precedent, and then after the help of disabled friends, the attention of the media and the care of the state, I finally stepped into the university campus of my dreams." ”
After this incident, Dong Lina had more insights into life, she said: "Precedent can't wait, since there is no precedent, then I will create a precedent." ”
Emotions are the blood and marrow of language arts
Dong Lina and Li Cangmao's recitation program "Waiting" can be described as wonderful, and their emotional recitation is full of the feelings of the family and country of Deng Jiaxian, the founder of the "Two Bombs and One Star", so that the audience can "immersively" feel the penetration and appeal of language arts.
In the background music of the recitation, Dong Lina shed tears from time to time as her emotions deepened, and Li Cangmao looked at the former with reluctant eyes.

"Although I can't see it, my heart is bright, I can feel Mr. Xu Luxi (Deng Jiaxian's wife) waiting for half a life of separation from her husband, and I can also understand the righteousness of Mr. 'dedicating his husband to the country'. Dong Lina said: "It is both simple and difficult for the career of language arts to be based on truth, goodness and beauty. ”
Dong Lina and Li Cangmao said in the final exchange that to do a good job in language arts, they must read more books and deeply feel the inner emotions of the first creator, "In the face of true feelings, the fancy skills will look very pale, so the language arts career can not only pursue skin and hair, but more importantly, it is based on blood and marrow." ”
Persistence can go higher and further
Dong Lina hoped that the majority of young people should insist on doing what they love, "Love is the premise of doing something well, but it is not enough to have love, if you want to do this well, persistence is more important." ”
After entering the school, Dong Lina became more and more interested in the major of broadcasting and hosting, and she also shared the many difficulties encountered after entering the school, such as how to convert learning materials into Braille, how to manage facial expressions, etc.
Without exception, Dong Lina's difficulties were resolved through her persistence. Dong Lina said: "The only thing I can do is to persevere, although there are many difficulties, I still insist on doing what is simpler in the eyes of ordinary people." ”
"Later, I graduated from the Broadcasting and Hosting Department of Communication University of China with good grades, and I wondered if I could go further and do better. Dong Lina recalled.
The hard work paid off, Dong Lina was given another opportunity for further study, successfully obtained a master's degree in the same major, and graduated in June 2023. "At the graduation ceremony, I spoke as a representative of the graduates, and the warm applause from the alumni was an affirmation of my efforts along the way. Dong Lina said. (ENDS)
