At the age of 10 Dong Lina lost her eyesight, but that hasn’t stopped her from realizing her dream.

董丽娜在10岁时失明，但这并未阻止她实现自己的梦想。

董丽娜现在是电话节目主持人，她在失明后被送往辽宁省一所盲人学校。

After graduating, Dong found a job at a massage parlor. But it wasn’t what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

毕业后，董找到按摩院的工作。但这并不是她后半辈子想做的事。

[Dong Lina, Telephone Program Presenter]:

“The thing I fear most is leading a routine life where everyday is the same, without any progress.”

电话节目主持人董丽娜说：

“我最怕的事情是过着例行的生活，每天都一样，没有任何进步。”

Dong was one step closer to her dream when she came across an advertisement offering free presenter training from a charity organization for the blind.

当她偶然见到，一个由专为盲人的慈善团体，所提供的免费培训主持人广告，那时她离梦想更近一步。

Leaving her job in Dalian, she arrived at the charity organization in Beijing to pursue her dream as a presenter.

Dong worked really hard.

[Wang Weili, Voice Teacher]:

“She would knock on my door early in the morning, sometimes when I was still in bed or had just woken up. She would start practicing as soon as she entered the room.”

声乐老师王伟力说：

“她会一大清早会敲我的门，有时我还躺在床上或才刚醒来。一进房间，她就会开始练习。”

All her dedication and hard work paid off when she participated in the 2010 ‘Xiaqin Cup’ National Reading Competition.

她所有的奉献和辛勤工作，在参加2010年“夏青杯”全国朗诵比赛得到代价。

[Wang Jing, National Reciting Competition of Xiaqin Cup]:

“For a blind person, they would face many challenges in daily life. However, her love for reciting is indeed very moving.”

夏青杯全国朗诵比赛的王静说：

“对失明者而言，他们日常生活会面临许多挑战。然而，她对朗诵的喜爱，的确令人动容。”

Dong won second prize, and was the only blind contestant among 10-thousand participants in the entire competition.

董丽娜获得二等奖，是一万名参赛者中唯一的盲人。

She was encouraged to study broadcasting and presenting at the Communication University of China and didn’t have to pay for classes.

她受鼓励到中国传媒大学研读广播和主持，课程免费。

[Dong Lina]:

“If you view physical disability as an obstacle, it may become one. However, if you look at it from a different perspective it may become life’s halo, making that person stronger.”

董丽娜说：

“如果你视身体的残疾为一种障碍，它可能就成为障碍。但是，如果你从不同的角度来看，它可能成为生命的光环，使人更坚强。”
