A mother who is less than a meter in height has made every effort to raise her adopted daughter who successfully passed the college entrance exam this summer, but the poor family is worrying about how to pay the fees.

Song Zhengfeng, in Gangxia village in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province, is only 0.8-meters tall. She married when she was 22. The following year her 5-month-old son died, so Song adopted a girl who was abandoned three days after she was born in 1992.

Since then, Song and her husband have struggled to raise the girl and provide for her schooling. This summer the daughter passed the national college entrance exam but the family cannot afford the fees as Song is disabled and the husband does not earn much from farming.

Anyone who wants to help them can contact them through cell phone number 13218369513.
