【推荐2】I didn’t like dogs before, but I am happy to have one now. Do you know why?
About two years ago, my wife, Cathy, got a little dog with a face only the dog’s mother could love. We named her Gertie.
My wife sent her to be trained（训练）in a school. But this didn’t go as planned. After only 2 weeks, she was made to leave the school. She had to spend every night with us in our bed—snoring—so loudly that I couldn’t get a good sleep. In the morning, my wife always let me walk Gertie. When I was free, Gertie always played with me.
Then, about six months after Gertie arrived. I felt that something in my heart was changing, and I was unable to stop it. I began to smile at people when I saw them in the street. I started calling my children, and to my surprise, they started calling me, too. I even tried to talk with my grandchildren over the phone. My wife and I both think that it is Gertie who has changed me.
Gertie is now nearly two years old and I love it very much.

【推荐2】The moment that Jiang Mengnan received the Touching China Person of the Year Award for 2021, she said she most wanted to express her thanks to her parents.
Born in 1992, Jiang’s world has been silent since she was 6 months old. At that time, she was given a harmful drug mistakenly, which damaged her hearing. So Jiang’s parents taught her to learn vocalization and lip reading.
When Jiang learn to talk, she used her hands to feel the vibration（震动）of her parents’ vocal cords（声带）. When reading Pinyin, she carefully looked at the lips of other people’s pronunciations to know the formation of each syllable. Learning a single word can take at least 1000 practice attempts for Jiang, and different people having different mouth movements added difficulty when it came to lip reading.
Through lip reading and self-study, she was able to keep up with learning and was accepted by Jilin University School of Pharmacy with a high score of 615. In 2018, she was accepted as a PhD candidate at Tsinghua University’s School of Life Sciences.
Jiang’s story is one of victory over difficulty. More importantly, she is helping inspire disabled children to struggle for success and challenge the low expectations that some in society still place on them. Because of her hearing loss, she couldn’t be a doctor. Instead, she chose pharmacy（药剂学）to help reduce people’s pain and assist their recovery. Another crucial way she aims to contribute is by teaching children in similar situations not to be limited by their disability. She tells students in special education schools to do their best to achieve as much as a so-called healthy person.
She stressed that people with disabilities have no need to feel discouraged, as they can do the same or even better than non-disabled people around them. When God closes a door, he opens a window, and this girl believes that all challenges are gifts.
