Shanxi writer excels from her wheelchair

Li began to write down her mood changes and improve her reading comprehension. She tried submitting her writing for online publication.

At age 16, Li published her first online novel, a 160,000-word fairy tale.

From then on, her articles began to be accepted by Chinese magazines, and some of her articles were translated and published overseas.

From 2015, Li began to focus on publishing articles on social media platforms and attracted many followers and more than 100 million views.

After realizing economic independence, she moved to the provincial capital, Taiyuan, and bought an apartment.

"Reading and writing changed my life and fate," she said. "As long as we set our own targets and make the effort, we can realize the value of life."
