Zhao Wenjing and Zhao Yajing are twin sisters. They opened a self-built public library in 2024. This may be the 1 (
first
) public library opened by ALS(肌萎缩侧索硬化) patients in China.
Because of the rare 2 (
illness
), the twins only spent few years in school. However, they didn't give up. They 3 (
had
) each other as study partners at home. The twins' father encouraged them to read and travel. He believed that reading and experiencing the world were 4 (
more important
) than grades. From 2017 to 2019, the family went on trips across China. Because they improved their car, they could even lie down 5 (
and
) sleep during the long trips.
During the trips, they 6 (
gave
) away books to children living in poor areas. They hoped to share 7 (
their
) love for reading. The twins thought about opening their own library for several years. Later, the twins decided to put their plans into action, turning their living room 8 (
into
) a mini-library. In 2022, the twins' father passed away(去世) and they never forgot his words. “Living with ALS hasn't been easy, but we are full of hope and never give up when 9 (
facing
) any difficulties in life. We want to pass his hope on to others,” said Zhao Wenjing.
“Just like healthy people, we have rich feelings and big dreams, too. We're different, yet 10 (
the
) same,” said Zhao Yajing.
