Features: During her pregnancy, the mother was exposed to X-rays, and a high fever caused by gentamicin poisoning resulted in Tingting losing her hearing completely, making her a profoundly deaf child. Unfortunately, this tragedy forged a bond between Zhou Hong and his daughter, Tingting. With unwavering determination and a deep love for life, Zhou Hong created an amazing miracle through sheer perseverance. Despite barely retaining any residual hearing, Tingting learned to read and write almost entirely by lip-reading. She could tell stories, do arithmetic, and eventually entered a regular primary school as an exception, even skipping two grades. She memorized the first 1,000 decimal places of pi and became one of the "Top Ten Youngsters in China." In the end, she became the first deaf student in China to attend university.
