Lou Gehrig's disease ... or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyotrophic_lateral_sclerosis

 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neurone disease or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a disease that causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. Some (

  ... as Stiggs) also use the term motor neuron disease for a group of conditions of which ALS is the most common.

Duck-Duck-Go search is very resourceful ...  with We-Don't-Follow-You-Around (with the adverts) ... bonus.

 

 Does anybody else use search engines ... or is it only me?

He needed a gimmick to become famous and wanted a motorbike but couldn't afford it so he stole a wheelchair from the local hospital... The rest is history.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
