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.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

      It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By OblivionSHO · Posted

      A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • USB Port Optimization for best locations for devices

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
