From June 5438 to October 2007 10, Yang Tao, a young deaf-mute in Wuqi County, Shaanxi Province, once again became Microsoft's "most valuable expert" in the world. This is the fourth time that Yang Tao has won this award. In April this year, he won the first place in the programming group with excellent results in the vocational skills competition for the disabled in Shaanxi Province. Recently, under the unified arrangement of the Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation, he concentrated on intensive skills training.

Participate in the third national vocational skills competition for the disabled and make active preparations.

Become attached to the computer after deafness

Seeing Yang Tao, we were all infected by his sunny smile. He smiled at us politely. It was almost unacceptable when we learned that he was deaf. At the beginning of the interview, we can only communicate with each other by paper and pen.

Yang Tao 3 1 year old. He works as a network administrator in the computer room of Wuqi County Education Bureau in northern Shaanxi. Prior to this, he worked in Xi High-tech Zone Software Park. 1987, 1 1 year old, I began to feel that others could not hear clearly, but my family thought it was a minor problem and didn't take it seriously. However, by 1995, he could hardly hear the voices of people around him. No matter how loudly people around him talk, he can't hear how he concentrates. The family was anxious and took him to the county hospital for a thorough examination. The diagnosis is: nervous deafness.

1999, my family was going to buy a hearing aid for Yang Tao, but after trying it out, I found that such a hearing aid was not suitable for him at all, so I used the money to buy a computer for Yang Tao. Since then, Yang Tao has been with computers day and night, and started a computer-related life path that he never expected.

Become "Microsoft's most valuable expert"

One day in 2002, Yang Tao saw the recruitment information of a computer software company in Xi 'an on the Internet. He hesitated and submitted a resume with a try attitude. I didn't expect this company to recognize Yang Tao's computer level, so I sent him from home to the software park of high-tech zone.
