Chinanews, Jinan, Mar1. 28 – Wei Zeyang, a 22-year-old young man who only has a stature2 of 1.22 meters, said that “I can be poor, but will not lose confidence; I can be short, but can also make achievements like other normal people.” Our reporter saw Wei on a practice spell in a factory in Yantai, Shandong Province. He looked like a little boy, every inch of him.

 

Wei was born in a poor farmer family in Lingbi, Anhui Province. When he was 8, his parents found Wei has stopped to grow in height. “At that time I knew the way to change my lot is to receive education,” he said. He went to do part-time jobs in summer and winter holidays in order to earn enough money to pay tuition fees. He once even collected scraps3 in Zhejiang and Shandong provinces.

 

After he took part in the college entrance examination in 2003, he started to collect scraps again in Yantai. Meanwhile, Chongqing Business College informed his family that he had passed the exam and the college had decided4 to admit him. His experience has raised people’s attention, and some common citizens decided to help him with his tuition payment.

 

He was a diligent5 student in the college, and preferred to work part-time to earn his own tuition fees when he suffered from osteonecrosis, all his classmates donated money to him. In 2006, he contributed all the 22 thousand yuan raised for him to the college. In recognition of his admirable performance, he was reviewed as a Most Respectable Person of 2007 in Chongqing.
