While Zhao was unable to continue her study after four years of attending primary school due to her physical condition, she began to study by herself.

"I really love reading, especially reading novels," she said.

"When I was a little girl, I had a dream to be a novelist."

In 2003, Zhao had the chance to access a computer and the internet.

"I began to study how to use a computer and after one year's practice, I could use it with my feet," she said.

"Then I found the internet opened another window for me and brought a much wider world into my life."

With the help of the internet, Zhao also met her husband online in 2004.

They had a lot in common and enjoyed the time on the internet.
