Disabled Chinese man achieves Harvard master's degree, thanks to mum's unwavering support
A Chinese man with cerebral palsy who was unloved by his father and bullied by classmates made it through the prestigious universities of Peking and Harvard thanks to his mother's unwavering support.
Ding Zheng, 37, and his mother Zou Hongyan, 62, from central China's Hubei province, have moved many people online with their story.
Zou said Ding was diagnosed with cerebral palsy due to medical malpractice during his birth in 1988
A doctor and Ding's father advised Zou to give up the baby while he was in a critical condition. Zou refused, saying she would 'fight them to the death if anyone removed his tubes'.

Feature of the Week: 3 students from Wai Chow School attempt to set Guinness World Record
Do you have something to share? Send us your recommendations using this form Three Primary Six students from Wai Chow School in Yuen Long participated in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record in Hong Kong using coins. Here are their reflections on this experience. Chan Yat-long I was thrilled to participate in the Hong Kong Guinness World Record challenge organised by KLN and Unicef Hong Kong, titled 'Most People Playing Heads or Tails Simultaneously'. This meaningful event fostered community cohesion and allowed us to learn about currencies. Through this interactive game, we better understood one another while creating wonderful memories. I truly enjoyed the experience. Chan Yat-long shares how the Guinness World Record challenge promoted community cohesion. Photo: Handout Lui Wing-sum This event was truly meaningful because we could reuse coins that are no longer in circulation. Participating in such a large-scale event made us feel valued and honoured. Having over 250 people in one room flipping coins was an extraordinary experience. With those coins, we could also help others in need. Several organisations contributed to the event, demonstrating that many people care about this initiative. I hope to participate in more activities like this, whether to help others or break more world records. Lui Wing-sum says the event was a unique opportunity to repurpose unused coins while fostering community spirit and supporting those in need. Photo: Handout Lyrus Tse Witnessing and being one of 286 people guessing a coin toss simultaneously was fun and impressive. It is amazing how this event inspired us to believe that everyone has the power to change the world, even with small actions. Congratulations to all participants for making history in such a playful way. The trophy is shaped like fish scales and has coin patterns. This symbolises abundance and prosperity while reminding us of Hong Kong's journey from a fishing port to a major financial centre. Lyrus Tse says the event celebrated the power of small actions to inspire change. Photo: Handout

Shanghai's Gogogym eyes pet fitness revolution with canine treadmills
China is set to open its first pet gym, which will feature swimming pools, treadmills and fitness coaches. A pet fitness center in Shanghai, called Gogogym, gained popularity online after sharing a video of dogs running on treadmills. Gogogym was created by Heal Petcare, a pet healthcare brand based in Singapore. It is designed specifically for dog health. The facility features four key areas. These include a fitness zone, a spa and rehabilitation area, a massage room and pet retail space. The gym will open in late June and is currently testing operations. According to staff, the goal is to help pets stay active and prevent illness through regular exercise. Professional trainers will also be on-site to create personalised workout plans based on each dog's needs. A job posting from March revealed that the gym is hiring certified pet fitness coaches and therapists. The gym has a preference for candidates experienced in canine rehabilitation or veterinary care. On April 19, Gogogym launched a dog fitness model contest on social media. Staff mentioned that membership prices are still being finalised, but those who attend pre-opening events will get free gym passes.
