As a teenager, Ming fought valiantly to escape one of history’s darkest eras – China’s Cultural Revolution – during which millions of innocent youth were deported to remote areas to face a life sentence of poverty and hard labor. Ming eventually made his way to America with $50 in his pocket and an American dream in his heart, where against all odds he has earned two doctorate degrees, one in laser physics and one in medicine, and graduated magna cum laude with the highest honors from Harvard Medical School and MIT. He embraced his Christian faith and tackled one of the most important questions of our time – Faith and science, is there a common ground? – which led to his invention of a breakthrough biotechnology and restoration of sight to tens of thousands of patients.
