Music recording dream fulfilled by ill boy, 9

A 9-year-old boy from Fujian province with a potentially life-threatening bleeding disorder realized his dream in Beijing on Tuesday by recording a song in English that he wrote by himself.

Lin Yuchen completed his first English-language song in a recording studio with the help of Beijing Children's Hospital; Childream, an organization that helps children with major critical illnesses to fulfill their dreams; and Douyu, a popular online-streaming platform.

Yuchen was diagnosed with hemophilia when he was 1 year old in Zhangzhou, Fujian. Since then, his life has mostly been lived either at home or in the hospital because of swollen joints and the potential for internal bleeding.
