(Central News Agency reporter Xiao Boyang, Nantou County, 4th) Nantou County Magistrate Hsu Shu-hua today commended the Presidential Education Award-winning students Huang Yun-ci and Zhang Yi-jin, encouraging them to maintain their kindness and courage and to bravely pursue their dreams. Hsu stated that as long as one holds onto their beliefs and moves forward bravely, everyone can shine on their life path.
Huang Yun-ci, a student at Nantou County's Xinmin Elementary School, and Zhang Yi-jin, a student at National Caotun Vocational High School, received the 2026 Presidential Education Award. Magistrate Hsu met with and commended them this afternoon. Hsu said that although Huang and Zhang face life's challenges, they have broken through limitations with courage and perseverance, proving with their actions that adversity is not an end but a starting point for growth, and their indomitable spirit brings the most profound inspiration to life.
The Nantou County Government Education Department stated that Huang Yun-ci faced severe tests of fate from birth, being diagnosed with intellectual disability, intractable epilepsy, and the rare disease White-Sutton syndrome. She must coexist with frequent epileptic seizures and a gradually degenerating physical function, but Huang always maintains an optimistic smile, bravely faces each day, and actively participates in Red Cross volunteer services.
The Education Department stated that while children of the same age enjoy their winter and summer vacations, Huang often spends hers in the hospital. However, with the attentive companionship of her mother, who is a teacher, Huang's passion for life has not disappeared. She has found confidence and a stage in a rare disease percussion group and choir.
Huang mentioned that she hopes to see the world abroad while she can still walk, and even if she can no longer move freely one day, she wants to become a street performer, using her smile and music to bring strength to more people.
The Education Department stated that Zhang Yi-jin is a volleyball and sport stacking athlete. Long-term high-intensity training has cultivated his exceptional stress tolerance and self-discipline. In addition to outstanding academic performance, having once been ranked first in his grade, he has also demonstrated卓越實力 in professional skills, winning the Golden Hands Award in the "Business Presentation" category of the National High School Skills Competition. During the meeting, Zhang's mother became emotional and teary-eyed while sharing her child's efforts and persistence.
To help Huang realize her dream, Magistrate Hsu promised to personally fund her trip abroad, which surprised and delighted Huang. Hsu also stated that the Education Department will fully assist with Huang's special education and campus environment needs when she enters junior high school, providing comprehensive support and care to ensure every child can grow and learn in a friendly and safe environment.
