Running around the playground of the Fifth High School of Changan District, Xi'an, China, a thin child especially attracted attention among those high school students who were playing football. He was armless. He lost his arms in an accident in which he was shocked by

high electrical tension when he was 5 years old.

The teachers of the high school were touched by him when last year his parent brought him to the school. They decided to break rules to accept the child. He is now in his second grade.

He writes with his foot, washing his head with his foot... it seems that he can overcome any difficulties (oh, except his classmate helps him tighten his belt). He never has inferiority complex -- his teacher so commented on him.

Like other children, he is now eager to learn operating computer. He is often with smile in his face. He said, he doesn't care how others would look at him, he will go his own way.

Major credit ot him for overcoming such an obstacle in life. It's those kind of achievements that truely make human kind amazing.

Much agreed, it REALLY ****es me off when people make fun of them. They already have to great deal without a lot of people bothering them. I have great respect for those handycapped people.

That's incredible. Good for him! (Y)

But I have a question.... see the quote above? Why does it say... "They decided to break the rules..."

What rules? Are there rules in some countries about letting physically challenged people go to school? Please forgive my ignorance, I'm just very cuious.... Thanks.

Impressive. You gotta hand it to these guys who have the motivation and spirit to get over something like this.. I know if I was in the same boat, i'd just hide away and achieve nothing.

I was reading in a VW magazine over here (Performance VW) about a guy who was disabled in a wheel chair, yet had this sweet MK2 Golf GTI with a VR6 engine in it, etc - had it adapted so he could drive it, and was very much into the VW scene.. I just thought it was so cool that he had overcome something like losing his legs and was able to get on in life and enjoy the things that still mattered.

wow. brought a smile to my face and made me realize that anything is possible when youre dedicated. i've been living my life, watching out for what others might think of me and then there's this guy who overcame an obstacle and went to go do something that he wanted to do without thinking about other people's view of him. good job.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
