我叫劉大銘，1994年出生於甘肅省蘭州市。因幼年時基因突變，罹患世界性罕見病，成骨不全症。 在生命的前十八年，我經歷了九次骨折，十一次大型手術，其中兩次，與死亡擦肩而過。在我肌膚上所留下的疤痕， 讓我得以用血肉之軀見證中國醫學的進步，在我身體中的數顆螺釘，也使我成為現實生活中的“鋼鐵俠”。

2015.6月，我被英國曼徹斯特大學心理學專業錄取，成為了中國第一位坐在輪椅上，在本科階段就讀於世界五十強大學的學生。 然而在得到這個結果之前，所有人都以為，我的留學夢要落空了。

在大一下半學期，我確立了我想用一生想要完成了的兩件事：1. 創立一家創造積極影響力，能解決社會問題，推動社會進步的企業。 2. 創作更多受人喜愛的，有價值的文學作品。我也想清楚了自己的墓誌銘該如何寫：“整個生命歷程中，他都在以不健全的身體，為留下一個更健全的世界，做出努力與鬥爭。”

從曼大畢業後，我投身於中國的創業浪潮中。企業與人一樣，應有獨立、堅定、簡潔的價值觀，我給企業定下的價值觀是：創造積極的影響力。 同時我也認為，能夠真正創造長期價值的創業，一定是解決了一部分人群特定的困難，即，點燃了一部分人真正的渴望與需求，價格追隨價值，需求鏈結困難，是我心目中理想的創業。

My name is Liu Daming. I was born in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province in 1994. Because of gene mutation in my childhood, I suffered from a rare disease called osteogenesis imperfecta. In the first eighteen years of my life, I experienced nine fractures, eleven major operations, in two of which I felt the death’s breath at the back of my neck. The scars left on my skin marked the progress medicine. Several screws in my body also made me an Iron Man in the real life.

In June 2015, I was admitted to the University of Manchester, UK, as the first Chinese undergraduate student to sit in a wheelchair and study in the world’s top 50 universities. However, before this, everyone thought that my dream of studying abroad would just be a dream.

In the second semester of my first year in Manchester, I made up my mind on the two things I want to accomplish in my life: 1. Create an enterprise that generate positive influence, solve social problems and promote social progress. 2. Create more popular and valuable literary works. I am also clearer about what to write in my epitaph: "Throughout his life, he is making efforts and struggles to leave a sounder world with his unsound body."

After graduating from Manchester University, I also joined the wave of entrepreneurship in China. Enterprises, like human beings, should have their independent, firm and concise values. The values I set for my enterprise are: to create positive influence. At the same time, I also believe that entrepreneurship that can really create long-term value must solve the specific difficulties of some people, that is, it inspires some people's, make them clear about their real desires and demands. The price decided by the value, and the demands meeting difficulties, which is the ideal entrepreneurship in my mind.
