Scores from China’s college entrance examination, known as gaokao, were released over the weekend and one visually impaired student’s result has received attention from both local media and top universities.

Wang Yun, who lost his sight when he was 4 years old, earned an impressive 623 points out of 660. According to Wenhui Daily, prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking have shown interest in recruiting him.

But rather than rest on his accomplishments, Wang and his family are looking ahead.
