Gong Xunhui of Chengdu, China has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). But she's still led a full life since her diagnosis in 2003. She's written down those experiences in an autobiography fully 150,000 words long.
How did Xunhui do it when she can't hold a pen or type? By blinking. She used her eyes to manipulate an interface that let her select Chinese characters. Fox News reports:
“I want to use my personal experience to tell other ALS patients that, although we suffer from this incurable disease, there is still much we can do to enrich our lives,” Xunhui said, according to CEN.
Xunhui’s book focuses on her childhood and the struggles she has faced since receiving her ALS diagnosis.
So far, 6,800 copies have been printed.
