When Ding Chen was a fifth-grader, he wanted to invent something for his grandparents.
Because his grandparents lived in old buildings without elevators(电梯), they had to climb stairs every day. It became even harder after his grandfather fell ill. “How to make them climb stairs more easily?” he thought.
Three years later, 13-year-old Ding solved this problem and won an international invention award with it.
Ding is from Anhui Taihe No.3 Middle School. He invented a booster(肋力器)to help the old people walk up stairs. In August, his invention won the Youth Gold Medal at the Invention & New Product Exposition, the largest invention show in the United States.

Ding’s booster has a motor(电动机) inside. People just need to set it on the stair railing(抚手) and hold it. Then it will pull people upward, making it easier to go upward a flight of stairs.
Ding’s middle school teacher Zhang Gang helped him make his initial(最初的) idea real. They worked together for about half a year to design the booster. The most difficult part was to find the motor.
“The motor must work well and produce enough power,” Ding said. “Also, when it doesn’t work, it can keep still(静止的). So the whole booster won’t drop down and hurt people.” After testing many motors, they found the best one.
In the future, Ding wants to make some improvement on his invention and apply for(申请) a patent (专利). If possible, he wants to find companies to produce it . “I hope all the people in need can benefit from (受益于) it ,” he said.
