Il 35-anno-vecchio uomo cinese negli ultimi stadi di sclerosi laterale amiotrofica (ALS) utilizza il computer speciale nella sua casa a Pechino, 12 marzo 20
35-year-old Chinese man in the late stages of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) uses the special computer at his home in Beijing, China, 12 March 2019. Wang Jia, a 35-year-old Chinese man, is in the late stages of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), the same disease afflicting Stephen Hawking, the great British theoretical physicist. In Wang's Sina blog, he posted, "I know I have a few months left. But I will not give up and will continue fighting for living with dignity. I will use my courage to build a city of hope, leading others out of desperation." Hawking wrote a letter of encouragement letter to Wang in 2010, saying, "However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope." Wang lives up to these words. As his control of his body gradually fails, he sticks to his work as a designer. He has donated more than 100, 000 yuan ($15, 900) from his income to earthquake-stricken areas. He managed to finish and publish in July his 200, 000- word book There is No If in Life, even though at the time he could only use one finger.
