Writer persists from his wheelchair

Wang Xueyi chats with his younger brother on Oct 26, 2011, in Xiji, Ningxia Hui autonomous region. A construction site accident left Wang paralyzed from the waist down in 1979, when he was 19 years old. After the accident, Wang tried to work as a writer for more than 20 years. "Literature's power supports my life," Wang said. Although he hasn't made much money with his writing, Wang did not give up. "I do not write for money, but for my heart. My village is the source of my inspiration," Wang said. Due to his poor living conditions, he now has some problems with his sight. Now Wang can read or write for only about two hours a day. [Photo/Xinhua]
