Zhou Hong Yan is an ordinary resident of China. Children there are very fond of. But the children are healthy. Because of overpopulation, there are generally complex relationships with juvenile policies. Zhou really wanted a child. And finally she became pregnant. But ... The birth was difficult. The child Zhou almost choked because of complications. Hypoxia caused cerebral palsy in the baby. Doctors of the provincial maternity hospital offered the mother to leave the child: they say, he will still be underdeveloped. Yes, and physically disabled.

But the young mother decided that she would not abandon her child. And with her husband divorced. So she did. The son of Zhou named Ding Dong. Money for a small family needed a lot: the boy needed special care. Therefore, Zhou had to find a part-time job. And one more. As a result, she worked on three jobs, and in her spare time - where she only took it! - Zhou was engaged in a child. I was engaged - it's not just a teteskal and lisp, like all moms do. She dragged him to rehab classes - any day, in any weather. She learned to do Dinga massage therapy. Played with him in a variety of educational games and puzzles.

The family thought that it was not necessary for him to do it, but Zhou still taught him how to use traditional cutlery. "Otherwise, you'll have to explain to people why you can not do it," she explained to the child.

He had to catch up with his peers in everything.” Now Ding is 29 years old. He received a bachelor’s degree in natural sciences and engineering from Beijing University. He entered the master’s program at the university’s international law school. And two years later, Ding entered Harvard. “I was able to achieve all this only thanks to my mother’s persistence and endless devotion,” Ding said. And Zhou? She is happy that her son has achieved so much. And that means that all the difficulties of the life of a single mother were not in vain. By the way, Ding Dong is not the only child who has managed to achieve a lot despite a serious illness. There is a boy named Asher Nash in America. His mother decided that he was quite worthy of acting in advertising. But he was not allowed to the casting - because of the diagnosis. The baby has Down syndrome. But Asher's mother, Megan, was not stopped by any formalities. She created a Facebook page dedicated to her son. And on his behalf, she contacted a company that produces children's clothes - asking them to evaluate the child's model data. This request went viral. And now little Asher .

She had to undergo a series of operations and wear a cast for a long time - just to be able to walk. Isabella had a dream: to become a model. Her parents did not oppose their daughter's desire. On the contrary, they supported her. Phil and Julie Neville organized a photo shoot for their daughter, and sent the pictures to modeling agencies, where they knew nothing about Isabella's diagnosis. And what do you think? ! Soon 13-year-old Isabella got her first contract.
