Fan Dongming lives in Fanjia village in Dongying, Shandong province. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of 7 months. Having never been to school, Fan taught himself how to read and write with the help of a dictionary.

He learned to write with a pencil using his right foot. Overcoming many difficulties, he also studied the literary and history textbooks from primary school to university on his own, and has read scores of literary masterpieces.
