Over the past four decades, John, who has been deaf since birth, has proven his abilities time and time again—as a young immigrant, a college student, a clever business leader, an employer of persons who are disabled, an advocate, and a loving husband and father of three. ---第一段 “百说不如一练，”获奖的实业家约翰·TC·叶这样说道。在过去的40年中，虽然患有先天性耳聋，约翰却一次又一次地证明了他的实力──作为年轻的移民、大学生、睿智的企业领导、残疾人的雇主和维护者、有爱心的丈夫以及三个孩子的父亲。 Para 2 A native of Taiwan, John came to the United States with his family in 1962 so that he and his sister, who is also deaf, could receive the best education possible.
