High-scoring students face another roadblock

Zhu Peng, score: 514

Zhu's arms had to be amputated after he accidentally touched a transformer at three. He started a professional swimming training at seven and won a national 100-meter freestyle swimming competition at 16.

He went back to school after the competition by skipping middle school and directly going to a high school.

He attended this year's college entrance examination. As he has to use his feet to answer the examination paper, the time for each examination was extended by 30 percent. He applied to Hubei University of Economics.
