Taipei, May 13 (CNA) High school student Lin Yu-hsien (林佑弦) was named Wednesday as one of the recipients of the 2020 President's Education Awards, becoming the fourth sibling in his family to gain that honor.

Lin, 17, who attends Yung Ching Senior High School in the southern county of Chiayi, is one of 56 students who will receive the presidential award this year in recognition of their achievement of excellence under difficult circumstances.

He is from a family of seven orphaned children who were raised by their grandmother and uncle, and he has followed in the footsteps of his two older sisters and brother, all former recipients of the President's Education Awards.

When Lin was in junior high school, he began wrestling training. In 2019, he represented Taiwan in the Junior Asian Wrestling Championships, and he has continued to excel in the sport.    [FULL  STORY]
