A single mother refused to leave her disabled son, and now he is a Harvard student
Chinese woman Zou Hongyan gave birth to a long-awaited son in 1988. Severe complications during childbirth left the boy with cerebral palsy for life. Doctors and her husband persuaded the stunned mother to give the child away. Everyone believed that the life of a person with such a diagnosis would be difficult and unhappy.
However, Zou did not listen to the doctors, divorced her husband and the father of her child and swore to herself that she would do everything for her son, support and love him, since he has no one else.
