BEIJING, April 23 (Xinhua) Liu Daming frequents a bookstore beside the second ring road in east downtown Beijing, often spending all day in the establishment. What attracts him is not only its extensive collections but also the convenient accessibility facilities. There is no accessible restroom in my office building in Zhongguancun, but there is one next to the bookstore, Liu said.
The 27-year-old was diagnosed with the rare osteogenesis imperfecta at a very young age. After undergoing 11 operations, he survived but was left wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life.
Nevertheless, overcoming countless difficulties along the way, he managed to study psychology in the UK before starting his own business in Beijing after graduation. What troubles him the most in his daily life is using the restroom. While in the bookstore, he feels at home.
