From a sport boy to a heart transplant guy
Zeng Lin used to be a boy keen on basketball and football. However, he was diagnosed to have the myocarditis in the Tongji Hospital in July 2005.
What s worse, his condition was suddenly worsening when he was in Grade 10. On November 28, 2008, Zeng was taken a heart transplant surgery successfully. So Zeng left the hospital in last January. More than half a year later, he decided to return to the classroom in September.
Register for medicine major for gratitude
Zeng told the journalist, he was grateful to doctors for they gave him the second life and the chance to enter for college entrance exams. He wanted to opt for medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine like acupuncture, to help cure other patients.
Including Zeng, this year two children in Wuhan who once got heart transplants surgery will participate in the college entrance examination. According to what we know, it should be the nation s only case. Professor Dong Nianguo said heart transplants surgery is also a challenge for the patients.
The college entrance examination is a competition of not only intelligence but also physical strength.The two children s diligence and strong mind has proven their strength to the world. No matter what the final result will be, this spirit of never giving up did set up an example for other patients of heart disease.
