Jiang Mengnan, a girl from Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, attended the 2021 Touching China Award ceremony on March 3, 2022. She wrote her incredible life story with a never-yielding spirit, which has touched millions of Chinese people.

Recently, Hunan People’s Publishing House, a subsidiary of China South Publishing & Media Group Co., Ltd., launched an inspiring book, Jiang Mengnan: Bloom in Silence in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, which tells the story of Jiang Mengnan’s growth.

It is the first book about the deeds of Jiang Mengnan. The book vividly writes about how Jiang Mengnan made a surprise hit with extraordinary perseverance from the bottom of life to the top of the world. The book presents Jiang’s inspirational life with three chapters, 18 critical moments in her growth and 30 years of unremitting efforts.

At the book launch, Li Xue, head teacher of Jiang Mengnan in her junior high school, also shared how Jiang Mengnan studied hard and strove to be a warm person in her school days. The promotional video for the new book was played at the scene, introducing the struggles of Jiang Mengnan and the preparation for this book made by Hunan People’s Publishing House.

Jiang Mengnan was diagnosed with extremely severe neurological deafness when she was only a few months old. The sudden setback did not crush her and her family. With the careful introduction from her parents and her own unremitting efforts, Jiang Mengnan learned lip language and practiced speaking from an early age. Against all odds, she went to school with able-bodied students and was eventually accepted as a doctoral student by Tsinghua University. Now she is working hard to help more people like her through scientific research and public welfare. She is worthy of the title of China’s outstanding youth.
 

At the book launch, China South Publishing & Media Group presented new books to Chenzhou Star School and Chenzhou No. 6 Middle School, the alma maters of Jiang Mengnan.

An official of China South Publishing & Media Group said at the book donation ceremony: “It is hoped that more young people can draw the strength to forge ahead and the spirit of hard work through Jiang Mengnan’s story so that they can live up to the expectations of the era and their youth, and grow into a new generation capable of shouldering the responsibilities of national rejuvenation.”
