Tao Tao is a 17-year-old boy. He was born with cerebral palsy（脑瘫）. However, he never gave up hope and has tried his best to feed himself. He sells self-made popcorn on the street on his own. And this touches the hearts of many people and wins him a chance （机会）to get education.
Yao Chuanhua, Tao Tao's mother, taught her son to live on himself at the very beginning. She taught Tao Tao how to make popcorn at home and helped set up a shop in Xiaoshan district, Hangzhou city of East China's Zhejiang province. At first, Tao Tao didn't know how to sell and few people bought his popcorn. To make him feel confident （自信的）,the mother even paid some passersby （路人）to buy popcorn from her son's shop. Finally, the shy boy became active and confident. Now he runs the shop on his own very well.
Yao is proud （自豪的）of Tao Tao, so she shared videos of her son's popcorn selling story online. People were touched by the story and some travelled from far away to buy popcorn from Tao Tao. Many people wanted to give money to Tao Tao, but Yao refused. hope that one day my son could live on his own," Yao says.
The online videos also drew the attention of local special schools. After learning about the boy's situation, they decided to send some local special education teachers to offer him door-to-door teaching. On November 19th, Tao Tao took the classes for the first time at home. The classes will continue regularly in the future although he has no classmates to study with.
