Yu Minhong Goes from Rags to Riches

Yu Minhong will never forget watching his father, a peasant and

stones into a small pen to shut in the pigs, hens and ducks, he

family

days of hard work to eventually secure admission to university
after two failures; he made a collection of English words so he
