| A special show was held at the Centennial Hall of Peking University to mark the graduation of a disfigured girl. |
| Chinanews, Beijing, Dec. 1 – Last Thursday, a special exhibition was held at the Centennial Hall of Peking University to mark the graduation of a disfigured girl.
On the stage, people could see a young girl using her nimble fingers to do make-ups for a model. She used lots of colors to create various fashionable1 images, to the loud applause2 of the audience. The college girl was called Guo Yanjie, a native from Cangzhou, Hebei Province, who was enrolled3 by a Beijing Cosmetics4 Art School last year and just graduated this year. With her enrollment5 by the college, Guo became the first disfigured student ever accepted by a college.
Thirteen years ago, Guo's upper arm got burned in an accident. However, she did not give up her hopes after the accident. On the contrary6, she became even more strong-minded and confident.
I have lost my natural looks in the accident. I can't make my face look beautiful any more. However, I want to use my hands to make other people look prettier, she said.
Since then, she had worked hard to make her dream come true. However, she had been refused by many colleges until last year, when she was finally accepted by a Beijing Cosmetics Art School.
“My works7 are far from mature8. However, I create them with my heart. And these works prove that my dream has finally come to pass. I hope you will like them,” Guo said to the 100 college students who came to see her exhibition from Peking University and Tsinghua University.
