People: Blind violin player to attend top UK music college

"Although I can't see the world, I will let the world see my hard work," said Wang Zi'an. Blind since birth, the 18-year-old from Guangzhou, Guangdong province was told he could only be a masseur, but chose instead to play the violin. He started at the age of 5, and his persistence has paid off as he was recently accepted to one of the most prestigious music colleges in the UK. This autumn, Wang will start his music education at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Now he is studying English and learning skills to help look after himself, including how to cook.
