A college student who shows great courage in fighting severe kidney disease while pursuing his dreams in scientific invention has inspired many people， reported Hunan Daily.

Zou Yongsong， 29， is a postgraduate student at Changsha University of Science & Technology in Changsha， Hunan Province. He was born into an impoverished（贫困的） rural family in Lumao village of Loudi city， Hunan Province.

At the age of four， Zou caught a high fever， and poor medical treatment in the village left his kidneys badly damaged. Since then hes suffered kidney problems and has had to take hormones（激素） daily to fight his condition.

Despite the pain brought by the disease， he insisted on attending school.

After years of hard work， Zou was admitted to Guangdong University of Petrochemical Technology in 2011. He then began a masters degree in 2015 at the software engineering department of Changsha University of Science & Technology.

In 2017， Zou was diagnosed with uremia（尿毒癥） and renal failure（肾衰竭）. To survive he needed to undergo dialysis （透析） for four times every day. As his condition worsened， he even wrote a will to his parents and put it under his pillow in case he didnt recover.

Despite the physical suffering， Zou did not give up his dream of pursuing a career in science. Even during his stay in hospital， he insisted on working on patent applications. Over the last two years， six of his patents and copyrights have been approved.

For his courage and optimism in fighting adversity（困境）， Zou was awarded the honor of National Outstanding College Student by the Ministry of Education， and the Touching Hunan award in November.
