Dressed professionally in a white shirt and black trousers and holding a cane — the kind of cane used by blind people — Pan Mingjing waited patiently for his data review, face recognition, signature confirmation and related procedures at a public legal services center in Guangzhou.

When he was granted his long-awaited legal professional qualification certificate, he was pleased.

“My career as a lawyer officially begins,” Pan told local media. It was May 6th, a day that he will always remember.

He became the first blind person to pass the national legal vocational qualifying examination in the city of Guangzhou. He has worked as a masseur for more than two decades and said he has been waiting for this moment for more than four years.
