Perseverance pays off as dreams of gold come true

Compared with those who like to hang the word "dream" over their mouths, Nie Feng from Southwest China's Chongqing, prefers action to talking.

In 2009, during the summer vacation when she was waiting to begin her senior middle school studies, Nie watched a hairdressing show on television and dreamed that she could do the same.

Rather than being content to idly dream of doing it sometime in the future, the 16-year-old girl acted to make it real by visiting the hairdresser on the show, He Xianze, who is a teacher at Chongqing 51 Vocational School.
