But the handwriting is neat and beautiful! Exceeding the cutoff score of 6 in the college entrance examination, She doesn't have fingers, girl | Li Lan | fingers
Last year, she was 46 points short of the admission line for a first tier university in the college entrance examination. After choosing to retake the exam, she surpassed the admission line for a first tier university in science in Yunnan Province by 6 points this year. Recently, the story of Li Lan, a girl from Zhaotong, Yunnan, who achieved good results without a single finger, has moved countless people.
"My first choice is the Law major at Yunnan Normal University; my second choice is the Law major at Yunnan University for Nationalities." On June 29th, Li Lan solemnly completed her college entrance examination application, saying, "Law is synonymous with integrity, fairness, justice, and equality, and it is also what I expect."
Li Lan, who is 19 years old this year, is from Yiliang County, Zhaotong City. In addition to her parents, she also has two younger siblings at home. At the age of over one, Li Lan followed her working parents to Zhejiang and unfortunately suffered facial disfigurement and missing hands and palms in a fire. But the family and Li Lan did not give up on life because of this, but worked even harder to embrace life. Under the care of her family, Li Lan has an outgoing personality.
Father Weng Mingfu recalled that before Li Lan started elementary school, in order to help her integrate into the group and not delay her studies due to her inability to write, her family tried to tie Li Lan's hands with leather pads and taught her to practice writing with both hands holding a pen.
At the beginning, the characters were written crookedly, but with continuous practice, Li Lan, who had no finger, wrote fast and neat characters. Flipping through her exam paper, the handwriting throughout is elegant, and it is not difficult to imagine the effort she has put in for it.

Weng Mingfu said that Li Lan has always been very hardworking in her studies, and she often uses her break time and after-school rest time to study.
In order to support his three children's education, Weng Mingfu has been working part-time in Guangxi, Guizhou and other places over the years. "Our husband and wife believe that reading is the best way for her, and we also hope that she can do something to the best of her ability for society."
With the support of her parents and her perseverance and hard work, Li Lan's grades have been improving.
"When I first met Li Lan, her physical condition was beyond imagination; after getting to know her, her high level of self-awareness and perseverance were admirable." Class teacher Wu Congying commented on Li Lan, "Every day when I summarized or asked her to answer questions, her voice was loud, her summary was very accurate, and her answers were all correct." Over time, Wu Congying no longer deliberately took care of Li Lan, and the relationship between her classmates and Li Lan was also very harmonious.

The first college entrance examination score did not satisfy Li Lan, but this girl who was full of energy did not give up. In order to meet a better version of herself and choose a satisfactory school to give her youth a regretful annotation, she resolutely chose to repeat her studies.
"Repeated reading requires a good mindset." When feeling down, Li Lan would call her old classmates and family to confide in them, which was the best way to quickly "revive" her with full blood this year.

With thoughts in mind, actions also follow. In the 2023 college entrance examination, Li Lan achieved her expected goal and achieved a good score of 6 points above the Yunnan Province Science First Class admission line.
"If we cannot become the 'ceiling', then we will become a better version of ourselves. We are always accustomed to looking up at others, marveling at their strength, and bowing our heads to feel inferior to our own ordinariness... If we cannot become them, then we will become the 'ceiling' in our own minds; if we cannot become the sun, then we will become a constellation embellishing the night sky. What we need to do is accept the difference and return to our own peak." This is a passage in Li Lan's essay, which is also her pursuit of a better future life.
"In more than ten days, my family's over 2 acres of Sichuan peppercorns will be ripe. I plan to borrow some money from the bank to prepare for the tuition and living expenses of my three children." Upon learning that Li Lan's score exceeded the first tier, Weng Mingfu was also happy for her and planned early.
Li Lan, who is clear about her next direction in life, is waiting for the exciting moment of receiving the admission letter.
