After completing his graduate studies at a Beijing college in 2019, he chose to work as a masseur at the Beijing Massage Hospital, a traditional Chinese medicine hospital affiliated to the China Disabled Person's Federation.

"Although I have confidence in my ability in computer programming, I am still concerned about my colleagues' acceptance and my self-care ability," he said.

Still, his knowledge of programming has made his life easier. Since 2019, he has purchased more than 40 smart home devices, including an automatic vacuum, a dishwasher, an automatic cooking machine, smart speakers and various types of sensors and alarms.
