Zheng Fengxi was born with two unusual feet; his right foot bent in various directions below the knee, and his left foot was atrophied. His mother fainted upon seeing him, fearing that their struggling family would be unable to support him. However, Zheng Fengxi persevered and eventually graduated from university, achieving success through self-reliance and determination. He documented his arduous journey of growing up and pursuing education in the touching book "A Boat in the Ocean," which became a bestseller, selling over a million copies and was adapted into a film, resonating with society. He was also elected as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons, establishing himself as a role model embodying the spirit of resilience and striving for excellence among the physically challenged youth. Although Zheng Fengxi's former residence is just a simple Sanheyuan (traditional three-section compound), it preserves many relics of his life, including the utensils, books, and musical instruments he used. This place is retained to emphasize its historical and cultural value, as well as the spirit of perseverance that Zheng Fengxi exemplified.

Zheng Fengxi's Former Residence Introduction

Zheng Fengxi was born with two unique feet; his right foot bends forward, backward, and sideways below the knee, while his left foot is atrophied below the knee. His mother fainted upon seeing him, fearing that their struggling family would not be able to support him. However, Zheng Fengxi persevered, graduated from university, and achieved great success through self-reliance and determination. He documented his challenging journey of growth and education in the touching book "A Boat in the Vast Ocean," which has sold over a million copies and was adapted into a movie that resonated with society. He was also elected one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons, serving as a spiritual model for disabled youth, demonstrating that one can strive for progress despite disabilities. Although Zheng Fengxi's former residence is merely a simple Sanheyuan (a traditional Chinese courtyard house), it contains many of his personal artifacts, including tools, books, and musical instruments. This site emphasizes its historical and cultural value, aiming to promote the persistent spirit of Mr. Zheng Fengxi.
