By Shi Xiaofeng in Shaoxing and Wang Keju in Beijing | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2017-12-11 18:49An NGO helped an epileptic boy from eastern China realize his dream to ride a race car on an international circuit on Monday.
He dropped out of school in the third grade of primary school and seldom plays with other children, usually staying at home.
Yet he has loved cars since he was little and long dreamed of racing them.
When workers at Childream, an NGO based in Hangzhou, learned about his ambition, they spent three months arranging for him to take a spin round Zhejiang Circuit in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province.
After some professional training on Monday morning, Yang rode in a car once driven by racing driver Jiang Tengyi and best-selling author and rally driver Han Han, traveling at speeds of up to 210 km/h.
