When China’s Cultural Revolution shut down all schools, Dr. Ming Wang’s dream of becoming a doctor should’ve ended. Instead, he beat impossible odds—rising from no formal education to Harvard Medical School. What happened next, sparked by a brutal act against a child, led to a medical breakthrough and a life-changing revelation. His story has inspired two films—and it’s one you’ll never forget.
