On the eve of going to America, I said frankly: Yiyang is a blessed place in my life.

There are many auras around her:

She won two gold medals at the 6th National Paralympic Games in 2003, three gold medals at the 1st Asian Youth Paralympic Games in 2003 and the 200m gold medal at the 2004 National Athletics Championships for the Disabled.

She is also the first student admitted to Nanjing Foreign Language School in 42 years, with excellent grades, and won the first full scholarship since the establishment of "China Overtime";

She passed the flute 10, trumpet 4 and bamboo flute 8. Her English is very good, and she is still learning Swedish and Spanish.

She once participated in the Athens Paralympic Games as a seed player. If it weren't for the injury, maybe there would be a glittering Olympic gold medal hanging on her wall.

She was invited by universities and institutions in Sweden, Canada, the United States and other countries to visit and exchange, and she had a thick stack of similar exchange invitations;

She is regarded as one of the ambassadors of China by a famous American computer brand. It is said that another person who shared this honor with her was Chris Lee.

Her recent honor was to be invited to visit the United States in mid-February this year, leaving a deep impression on the interviewer with excellent results and strong self-confidence;

Six famous universities, including Harvard University, Yale University and Stanford University, all expressed their willingness to accept her admission and promised to provide full scholarships.

All these auras, added to an ordinary person, will be the glory of a lifetime; However, she is still a blind girl-Jason Wu, and now she is an overtime senior two (3) student in Nanjing Foreign Languages School. At the end of June this year, Jason Wu will go to the United States again to study all the courses in the third grade in a school in Washington, DC.

"In my eyes, nothing is impossible. As long as I work hard and take the initiative to create opportunities, life will be wonderful! " On March 23rd, Jason Wu told reporters by telephone.

"To be cruel to her now is to be responsible for her future."

1986 65438+On February 9th, Jason Wu was born in a primary school teacher's family in huangqiao town, Taixing City, Jiangsu Province. The little one has big round eyes, and everyone is rushing to hug her. Jason Wu's parents are happier.

However, the weather is unpredictable. When Wu Jing was over one year old, she suddenly went blind because of retinoblastoma.

"It's cruel! When I first learned the bad news, my mother and I both felt that the sky was falling. What can we do? Since God has brought Jingjing to my home, we must care for her with all our love and let her grow up healthily and lively like other normal children! " Jason Wu's father told reporters.

Since they can't choose their daughter's innate health, Jason Wu's parents can only choose the day after tomorrow. They abandoned the traditional way of education, insisted on cultivating their daughter's self-care ability, and conducted special training for Jason Wu's blindness.

"On one occasion, when Jingjing was practicing walking at home, she accidentally touched the door frame and fell to the ground in pain and cried. I didn't help her, but let her get up by herself. Because she will encounter many such things in the future, I must teach her to face it independently from an early age. Now I am cruel to her and responsible for her future. "

Encouraged by his father, Jason Wu Jr. is optimistic and strong: "I can't see the world, so I feel it with my heart." She has taken pole climbing, long jump, sprint, bicycle, singing, flute and harmonica, even better than other normal children.

"Studying abroad makes your eyes see the light again!"

199 1 year, Jason Wu Jr. is 5 years old.

"Jingjing, you should learn culture, study abroad when you grow up, and let your eyes see the light again!" This year, my father had such a life dream for Xiao Wujing. From then on, "study abroad, let your eyes see the light again!" This beautiful wish quietly planted seeds in Jason Wu's heart.

That year, Jason Wu, like all children of the same age, happily came to a kindergarten not far from home to enroll, but the kindergarten resolutely refused. Her parents decided to send her to a professional school for the blind.

Because there is no school for the blind in Taixing, Jason Wu Jr. was finally sent to Yangzhou School for the Deaf100km away from home.

There, for the first time, Jason Wu realized the difficulty of a blind person's study. "For example, the pronunciation, meaning and shape of a Chinese character are equally important to an discerning person. For the blind, we only need to know the pronunciation and meaning of words and be able to match them. This sounds simple, but it is not easy for friends who are used to Braille since childhood. For example, the toes of fingers and toes are pronounced exactly the same, but their meanings and glyphs are different; For another example,' it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish', and the word fish in front of it has the same pronunciation as the word fish in the back, but its meaning and font are different. If you only care about pronunciation and it is easy to see the meaning from the perspective of pronunciation, then this sentence is not easy to understand. "

In order to learn Braille well, Jason Wu often gets up early and goes to bed late, and forgets to eat and sleep. She stubbornly chose to be strong, hoping to change her destiny with diligence.

Because of hard work, Wu Jingmen is among the best in all subjects. She regards English as the most important subject and lays the foundation for studying abroad in the future. It is very difficult to learn English in blind schools. Without textbooks and teachers, Jason Wu "copied" English words in Braille and recited them with him. Such a small note, Wu Jing has a big drawer; In most of her spare time, Wu Jing learns English by listening to the radio. In this way, Jason Wu actually learned a decent North American spoken language.

Yiyang is a blessed place in my life.

Jason Wu not only achieved excellent results, but also showed extraordinary talent in style. Her flute playing level has reached10; 12 years old was selected by the coach of Jiangsu Paralympic Games. After one year's hard training, he won two gold medals,100m and 200m, at the Jiangsu Paralympic Games the following year.

/kloc-At the age of 0/4, Jason Wu was discovered by the coach of the provincial team because of his excellent performance in a sprint competition. After that, she came to Nanjing to study and train.

In 2003, Jason Wu finally won the first national gold medal in his life. In the following years, Jason Wu "rushed" to the Asian Youth Paralympic Games, Paralympic Games and other international venues with her sprint speed, and won many enviable honors.

In 2004, Jason Wu and disabled athletes from all over the country came to Yiyang Olympic Sports Center in Hunan to participate in the national trials of the 28th Olympic Games in Athens, Greece in 2004. It was this stop that put Jason Wu on the stage of the 28th Athens Olympic Games.

"Yiyang left a particularly deep impression on me, because it is my blessed land!" Jason Wu said naughtily.

Jason Wu worked very hard in her career as an athlete. "Needless to say, the training was very hard. Other players train in the morning and rest in the afternoon. I read and study while others are resting, for the dream I had with my father. No matter where you go to participate in the competition, you will carry dozens of pounds of blind documents. "

In 2004, 18-year-old Jason Wu finally stood in the Athens Paralympic Games 100-meter sprint. Unfortunately, when Wu Ba pulled to 80 meters, her thigh muscle suddenly pulled. She dragged her sprained leg across the finish line and entered the final with the first place in the group.

Faced with this situation, coaches and medical staff advised Jason Wu to give up the important finals. But Jason Wu is determined not to do it. "I can't let go of my dream of fighting for it for many years. I want to win the Olympic gold medal and win glory for my motherland. " Finally, when Wu Jing limped on the 100-meter track with her injured leg, the audience suddenly stood up and applauded her warmly. In the end, she won the sixth place in the Athens Paralympic Games 100 meter.

An official from the General Administration of Sports of China who led a team to participate in the Athens Paralympic Games praised: "Jason Wu not only achieved good results in the Olympic Games, but also was an excellent translator!" At the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games, many athletes did not understand English. Without a translator, Jason Wu made a temporary translation for everyone in her familiar English, which not only won unanimous praise from domestic athletes and coaches, but also made many foreign friends give Jason Wu a thumbs up.

"Massage is not my dream"

After the Athens Paralympic Games in 2004, Jason Wu returned to Nanjing School for the Blind and continued to train while studying.

An athlete's career is limited, and Jason Wu, a blind girl, needs a job skill. Under the arrangement of the school, she began to learn massage. "This is not my dream. My dream is to study abroad and let my eyes see the light again! " Jason Wu has never been happy about his new major.

In order to improve her skills, Wu Jing "played" with the computer. Her computer is equipped with a unique six-finger input method and Braille codes for the blind, and she is prompted to operate through computer voice. All these greatly facilitated Jason Wu's study. She often uses QQ, MSN and other chat tools to communicate and chat with classmates and netizens all over the world, and her typing speed is almost as fast as her spoken English.

In February, 2005, Wu Jing met her old friend, Mr Bart, the Canadian president of China-Canada (China-Canada) International High School in Nanjing Foreign Languages School. This time, she seems to have taken another big step towards the other side of her dream.

Jason Wu and Mr Bart met in 2002. At that time, Mr Bart worked as a foreign teacher in Huaying Jiangsu College and gave an English speech in a radio station. The first time I heard Mr. Batt's lecture on the radio, Jason Wu was attracted by Mr. Batt. He spoke humorously and taught in a unique way. "That night, I couldn't wait to call the radio station and expressed my desire to know Mr. Bart. What is exciting is that after listening to my story, Mr. Bart is also very willing to be friends with me. "

Since then, Mr Bart has often contacted Jason Wu by telephone and visited Jason Wu at school many times. Before each competition, Mr Bart encouraged and wished Jason Wu good results. The two became veritable friends who forgot the new year.

Three years later, Mr Bart resigned as a foreign teacher and became the principal of Nanjing Foreign Languages School. When Mr Bart heard Jason Wu's distress, he immediately invited Jason Wu to work overtime at his school. Because the school has never accepted blind people before, all the facilities can't meet Wu Jing's needs, so she can only go to the secondary school to audition and work overtime.

Overtime courses in middle schools are very open. The study task assigned by the teacher is mainly to read English novels. It is required to read 70 pages a week and take an exam on Friday. For other normal children, this is easy to do, but for Jason Wu, it is much more difficult: the computer converts the electronic document of the novel into Braille through the blind spot display, which is very slow. Other people's 70 pages are equivalent to more than 200 pages or more in Jason Wu. In order to complete the study task, Jason Wu "reads" until one or two in the middle of the night every day.

Jason Wu's efforts were not in vain. After one semester, several teachers said that Jason Wu could accept overtime courses. Professor Xia Xianghai, who works overtime in China, said admiringly: "Jason Wu is a strong-willed, purposeful and independent girl who is fully capable of taking care of herself."

Nanjing Foreign Language School opened its arms to a blind girl for the first time and ordered all the braille textbooks for her alone. Miss Bart, who was moved by Jason Wu's spirit of self-improvement, was also exempted from her three-year tuition165,000 yuan.

Six world famous schools compete for free admission for blind girls.

"Your spirit of self-improvement is not only worth learning for disabled people in China, but also for disabled people in the United States." The head of the American Association for the Blind praised China's blind daughter Jason Wu.

From February 6th to March 6th, at the invitation of the American Association for the Blind, Jason Wu flew across the Pacific Ocean to the United States and visited some schools and facilities for the blind in Washington and California. At Helen Keller's alma mater Perkins School for the Blind, the headmaster said to Jason Wu, "I see the shadow of Helen Keller in you. I hope you are better than her! "

On March 2nd, the Connecticut Post also reported extensively on Bling's high school students' challenge in China (blind high school students in China face life).

During his stay in the United States, Jason Wu also visited eight famous American universities, including Harvard and Stanford. "There, my father and I made a wish together-to study abroad and let our eyes see the light again, which became particularly strong. I offered to meet the admissions teachers of American universities. "

The admissions departments of these universities were moved by Jason Wu's spirit of self-improvement and arranged interviews. Jason Wu infected every examiner with her fluent English and extraordinary self-confidence. Six colleges and universities expressed their willingness to accept her free admission and promised to provide full scholarships.

The enrollment teacher of Harvard University seriously said to Jason Wu, "Just because a blind girl dares to come to the United States alone, we want to admit you!"

Jason Wu told reporters that it is the first time that so many world-renowned universities compete for a blind girl to go to school for free. "First, I have excellent grades and am fluent in English; Second, I have participated in the Olympic Games, but the most important thing is that my strength and ability have left a deep impression on the teachers of world famous schools such as Harvard and Stanford. "

Finally, she can study abroad. Wu Jing cannot hide his joy. "At the end of June this year, I will go to the United States alone again, transfer to a school in Washington, D.C., finish all the courses in the third grade, and then choose a prestigious school for four years. A family in Baltimore, USA, has promised to provide me with free accommodation for one year. "

Jason Wu also said that after going to the United States, he will choose a law major, hoping to help more disabled people with difficulties with his legal knowledge: "I hope that while realizing my dreams, other disabled people can live a happy life like me and face life with a smile!"
