Pan Mingjing said he still has a long way to go before he becomes a "real practicing lawyer" and begins representing clients in court.

"I am prepared to fail, but I am brave enough to set out on my journey," he said.

Pan, 36, has officially become the first blind lawyer in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province. Previously, he worked as a masseur in an urban village in the southern metropolis for two decades.
