Beijing welcomes 56 ethnic children

After eating two hamburgers and a plate of French fries on the second floor of a McDonald's on Beijing's Wangfujing Street, 12-year-old Ciren Jiacuo ran down the stairs almost knocking over an elderly woman.

The boy acts like any other of his age, except for one fact - he is completely deaf. He lost his hearing at age 3 due an operation that went wrong.

He is a third-grade at the Lhasa Special Education School.
