Oscar Yu is a Ph.D. student in Chinese history. His research focuses on late nineteenth-century charitable organizations led by Disabled people, Western missionaries, and Qing officials. Oscar also searches for descriptions of disability in Chinese literature before the nineteenth century. Lately he finds a chapter in the Chinese classic Zhuangzi praising the wisdom of being Disabled. This leads Oscar to question if disability had had different definitions and how they converged to an ableist narrative in late imperial China.
