"In September of 2011, Lila began to receive preschool education in ordinary elementary school near the institute. She has Chinese, math, music and art classes. She was very happy and would go to the school with other children happily. Since she has deformity of the right hand, she can only write with the left hand. But this has not beaten her. Other children can write after several times of practice. For her, it would be dozens of times. Sometimes, she would say to the teacher “my hand hurts.” She still insists finishing the homework. Her spirit moved every teacher who teaches her. She is a child who is so persevering. Everyone loves this girl who has a ready smile and fair skin."
NOTE - In Chinese schools, children do not write "lefty" no matter what.

He is still performing the rehabilitation and is very cooperative when training. He has a pair of black and large eyes, fair complexion, round face like apple and is very handsome; he is outgoing, likes sports, can sit alone, stand alone and walk alone, but his coordinate ability of left lower limb is poor, and he is not steady when he walks alone; he likes to walk with hand held by the aunt. He is a clever child, can understand simple instructions; when the aunt say “down to sleep please”, he can do quickly, while looking the aunt with smiles; he is very obedient; when the aunt says other child’s name, he would point to the right child with his fingers; when the aunt praised him, he would respond to the aunt with smiles, a little shy.

He is very cooperative during treatment, his eyesight isn’t good. He’s very careful when going up and down stairs. He’s protective of himself. When his eye is uncomfortable, he tells his grandmother so they can see the doctor. He makes promises to his grandmother that when he gets a new mom & dad he will study well so he can take care of his grandmother in the future. His grandmother is very touched when he says this. The grandmother really hopes that a very kind family will adopt him so his love can be complete and so his life can be full of happiness."
