My name is Dr Jinghua Chen and I graduated with MD and Ph.D. degrees from the Health Science Center of Peking University. I was inspired to pursue ophthalmology from Helen Keller and her quote, keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. The story of Helen Keller, a famous American author, disability rights advocate, lecturer, the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree, inspired me to devote my whole life to clinical and research work in ophthalmology. I hope my work can bring light to thousands of patients with eye diseases. After graduation I worked as an attending physician at the Second Teaching Hospital of Peking University.
