Disabled student inspires at university

Qin Tingting (2nd R, front row) attends class on the wheelchair in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, on May 9, 2019. Qin Tingting, originally from Inner Mongolia, is a freshman at Harbin Engineering University. Suffering from Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS, also known as muscle weakness), Qin is bound to a wheelchair. Despite the challenges she faces, Qin was admitted to the College of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at Harbin Engineering University in 2018. Qin says her ultimate goal is to become a physics teacher. "Like Stephen Hawking, he went through the darkness, but eventually he found the light. So can I," she said. [Photo: Xinhua]
