Girl overcomes adversity to attain college dream

Li Xinyun, a girl from Mianzhu, lost her right hand in the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 when she was 7 years old.

Instead of giving up, she started to practice writing with her left hand, and managed to write left-handed quite well in just three months.

Thanks to Li's unyielding efforts and dedication, her academic performance has been excellent from primary school to senior high school.

She scored 625 points out of 750 in last year's gaokao, or national college entrance exam, and was admitted to her dream school – Central China Normal University.
