Yu Xiaonan, a 19-year-old girl from Bengbu, Anhui Province, suffered from a congenital eye disease when she was a child, and she was almost blind because she only had a glimmer of light in her eyes. She has been interested in piano since she was a child, and she began to learn piano at the age of 7, hoping to be admitted to her favorite art school to study music. In 2023, she took the college entrance examination for the first time and finally failed by a few points, but she was not discouraged and studied at home for a year to fight for the college entrance examination. This year, she played normally and was admitted to Anhui Art Institute. The report received a lot of comments from netizens: "The light-chasing girl is awesome!" "Come on Yu Xiaonan!"
Chasing the light girl Yu Xiaonan
Liang Jiangbo, the first blind graduate graduate of Tsinghua University, learned about Yu Xiaonan's story and took a video to send blessings to Yu Xiaonan: "Hello Xiaonan, I am very happy to see you admitted to Anhui University of the Arts. Liang Jiangbo was born in Bengbu, Anhui Province in 1985, when he was in primary school, because of his vision defect, no school was willing to accept him to study, so his parents borrowed old textbooks and became his enlightenment teacher, reading word by word, teaching hand in hand. When he was 12 years old, he listened to a documentary about Tsinghua University, and since then, the Tsinghua dream has taken root in his heart. After entering the school for the blind, he was unable to participate in the national general college entrance examination, he could only participate in the single examination for the visually impaired, and could only choose acupuncture and massage or music, but Liang Jiangbo never forgot his dream, after graduating from university, he has worked in China Braille Publishing House, Beijing Heart Helping the Disabled Foundation and other units, in 2014 the Ministry of Education issued a document to facilitate the registration of visually impaired candidates for the examination on an equal footing, and the idea of going to the "dream school" Tsinghua University for postgraduate studies quietly germinated in Liang Jiangbo's heart.
Yu Xiaonan took the college entrance examination
In October 2021, Liang Jiangbo sent an email to Tsinghua University for the first time, asking whether he could accept the application for the visually impaired, "you can register if you meet the conditions", and the eight-word reply made him cry, so he prepared for the exam while working, and listened to the exam preparation materials on the way to work. In December of the same year, Liang Jiangbo walked into the independent examination room set up for him by Tsinghua University. His postgraduate examination paper is composed of a combination of Braille and electronic papers, and the duration of each subject has been extended from three hours to four and a half hours, and to complete all the questions means that his Braille reading speed must reach more than 300 words per minute, "a full 48 pages of brown paper." Before the first exam was over, his middle finger was bled out by the Braille pen, so he gritted his teeth and persevered for two whole days, and in the summer of 2022, Liang Jiangbo got his wish and was admitted to the Department of Sociology of Tsinghua University, majoring in social work. This summer, Liang Jiangbo successfully completed his studies and became the first graduate of Tsinghua University to be fully blind! His story is as inspirational and touching as Yu Xiaonan, and they are all trying to "chase the light" with their own actions! Receiving Liang Jiangbo's blessing, Yu Xiaonan was very excited, and she said that she would definitely work hard to enrich her four-year college life.
