我叫刘大铭，1994年出生于甘肃省兰州市。因幼年时基因突变，罹患世界性罕见病，成骨不全症。 在生命的前十八年，我经历了九次骨折，十一次大型手术，其中两次，与死亡擦肩而过。在我肌肤上所留下的疤痕， 让我得以用血肉之躯见证中国医学的进步，在我身体中的数颗螺钉，也使我成为现实生活中的“钢铁侠”。

2015.6月，我被英国曼彻斯特大学心理学专业录取，成为了中国第一位坐在轮椅上，在本科阶段就读于世界五十强大学的学生。 然而在得到这个结果之前，所有人都以为，我的留学梦要落空了。

在大一下半学期，我确立了我想用一生想要完成了的两件事：1. 创立一家创造积极影响力，能解决社会问题，推动社会进步的企业。 2. 创作更多受人喜爱的，有价值的文学作品。我也想清楚了自己的墓志铭该如何写：“整个生命历程中，他都在以不健全的身体，为留下一个更健全的世界，做出努力与斗争。”

从曼大毕业后，我投身于中国的创业浪潮中。企业与人一样，应有独立、坚定、简洁的价值观，我给企业定下的价值观是：创造积极的影响力。 同时我也认为，能够真正创造长期价值的创业，一定是解决了一部分人群特定的困难，即，点燃了一部分人真正的渴望与需求，价格追随价值，需求链接困难，是我心目中理想的创业。

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.
