Teen whose story touched Post readers gets up-close look at planes and hangars, joining his friends for ‘special’ visit he helped to organise
Hong Kong teenager Chen Tsz-kin, who lives with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, was unfazed by the threat of stormy weather on Sunday as he embarked on a much-awaited visit to two aviation companies with his friends.
Tsz-kin has not let his health hold him back from organising the visit, including planning what to see, how to get there and inviting his friends, who are also wheelchair users.
“It’s been a successful trip. I’ve always wanted to organise special outings to take my friends with me so that we’re exposed to more things,” he said.
“It’s like a dream come true.”
He said that helping organise the activity also gave him a sense of achievement.
