Brightening the Sky from 45 Degrees Part 2 - Taiwan International SOS, China Airlines and Chiayi City Government unite to facilitate Hong Kong trip

On 18th December 2014, Chiayi City Government and Taiwan International SOS joined forces to help transport Zheng Hui-lian (鄭慧蓮) to Hong Kong. Nicknamed “Denise the Menace” by her family, Zheng Hui-lian’s recent art exhibition in Hong Kong has opened a new door in her life. Hui-lian’s unique physical condition means that she is required to fulfill certain medical treatment criteria before traveling by air. Fortunately, after the family negotiated a number of twists and turns, Hui-lian finally took to the air and arrived safe at her destination in Hong Kong. 

Paralyzed from the neck down, Hui-lian must sit inclined to an upward angle of 45 degrees with painting brush clasped in her mouth in order to paint. 

In spite of such difficulties, Hui-lian’s determination and refusal to quit displays a spirit that is more than a match for most able-bodied people and she has touched all those around her. Hui-lian’s friends and relatives have been encouraging her to further develop this fighting spirit and came to wish her a smooth and successful exhibition.

103年12月18日，鄭慧蓮開啟了人生另一扇門，在嘉義市政府與國際SOS組織成員協助下，暱稱阿丹的鄭慧蓮，將搭飛機到香港舉辦畫展。因為阿丹的身體情況特殊，搭機需透過醫療管道進行申請，經過一連串的波折終於順利成行。

自頸椎以下全身癱瘓的阿丹，只能運用仰角的45度的空間用嘴巴咬著筆作畫，但是她發揮出來的能量，絲毫不輸給一般人，她的永不放棄與堅持，感動了許多人，親友團也都來鼓勵阿丹，發揮更大的鬥志，並祝福她的畫展順利成功。
