Against all odds, blind teen earns place among nation's academic elite
Guo Bin, a 19-year-old student from Shanxi province, has ranked first nationwide on China's undergraduate medical entrance track for students with disabilities, scoring 721 out of 800 points to secure admission to a dual-degree program at Changchun University.
Guo, who lost his sight at the age of 6, will matriculate this September in Jilin province to concurrently study traditional Chinese medicine and computer science.
Changchun University approved the dual-degree arrangement following a review of his academic record, which included a 145 out of 150 in mathematics, 123 in Chinese and 129 in English, alongside top marks in anatomy, chemistry and physics.
