Visually-impaired Fudan graduate aims to inspire others

Zhu Lingjun, who created history four years ago by becoming the first visually-impaired student to enroll at Fudan University, is now continuing her inspiring story by becoming a special education teacher to help others.

The 25-year-old from Wuxi, Jiangsu province, was born blind but recovered a limited sense of sight after surgery when she was 4 months old. When she reached school age, her parents sent her to the Shanghai Blind Children School.

Through her perseverance and hard work, she secured a place at East China Normal University in 2018 and then at Fudan University for a postgraduate course without having to sit for a test due to her excellent academic performance.
