Sichuan earthquake survivor aims high, studies overseas

Li Anqiang, a 24-year-old graduate from Sichuan University in Chengdu, Sichuan province, will fly to the United States next month to pursue his master's degree in public management at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

Instead of the typical story of a young man from a rich Chinese family studying in the US, Li's is one which may move people to tears and motivate them to aim high.

Li, whose name means "safe and strong" in Chinese, comes from the mountainous ethnic Qiang village in Xiaoba town, Beichuan county, Sichuan.
