The first lesson of school. China's thoughts on my dream.

The Ministry of Education and China Central Television jointly organized a large-scale public welfare program "The First Lesson of Starting School", in which not only scientists, famous scholars, heroes, entrepreneurs and other social celebrities participated, but also the deeds of two armless teenagers touched everyone.

At the party, Xiao Ya first introduced an armless teenager Yang Mengheng who insisted on his dream through a short film. When Yang Mengheng was a child, he lost his arms because of touching high-voltage electricity, but it couldn't stop him from embracing his dreams. After losing his arms, Yang Mengheng's dream was to stand on the podium of the Paralympic Games. Although after several efforts, reality shattered his dream, Meng Heng did not lose heart, but returned to the classroom and picked up the sparse textbooks. His new dream was to be an English simultaneous translator. This year, Yang Mengheng was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University with the first place in local arts.

Yang Mengheng

After losing his arms, Yang Mengheng didn't feel that he was missing anything. Everything in life depends on self-care. He believes that a healthy mind is a healthy body. I like playing football and swimming, and my composition is quite accomplished. My calligraphy works won prizes in the national calligraphy competition and were selected into the national calligraphy talent pool. His self-confidence and positivity in adversity made his dream shine. He is like Forrest Gump who lives beside us, vivid, real and inspiring.

Liu Wei plays the piano with his feet

And the appearance of another armless youth Liu Wei at the scene also shocked the audience. Liu Wei, who is famous in China's got talent show, also lost his arms when he was a child because of electric shock. He began to learn piano at the age of 19, and it has reached a relatively high level in four years, which is unbelievable. After meeting two people with the same experience, they embraced in a unique way, and then Liu Wei played the piano with his feet, and his melodious piano sound won the audience's long applause.

Two armless teenagers

Two armless young heroes have profoundly explained the truth that we need to persist in realizing our dreams through personal experiences. Their experiences have shocked us and given our children a spiritual baptism.
