Dr Stephen Fung is a Physics professor at the University of Hong Kong. Though he can't see, he was all right at birth in Hong Kong in 1950. But his eyesight became poorer and poorer as he grew older. At school, he couldn't see the words on the blackboard clearly. At home, he sometimes fell down because of not seeing an object in front. At the age of 14, his private doctor told him that he would go blind. From then on, he learned to look after himself.
Dr Fung attended a school for the blind until he found a job as a telephone operator (客服) at the age of 17. It was the best job for the blind in those days. But Dr Fung had his great dream. He wanted to get more education, so he tried to teach himself. He borrowed Braille (盲文) textbooks and learned all by himself. In 1974, he won a scholarship to study at Oxford University in Britain. He got his doctor's degree in 1980. Then he worked as a university teacher and taught at Oxford for another two years. He later returned to Hong Kong, and has taught in the University of Hong Kong since 1983. In 1996, he got another doctor's degree of Science from Oxford University. This is a great honour for a scientist. Dr Fung believes "where there is a will, there is a way".
