The post below I have received last night through email and I find it is so inspiring and need to share with you soonest possible. As such, I have to put aside of other posts on my recent trip to China and resume them tomorrow onwards.
See the enthusiasm, confidence and tenacity on his face? Can we ever be distressed, impatient or complaining for frivolous reasons after witnessing this?
Miracle Man Walks Again Monday, July 9, 2007
He survived against all the odds; now Peng Shu Lin has astounded doctors by learning to walk again. He has become one of the examples of the UNLIMITED power of the human spirit.
If we decide to, you and I can make our lives one of this inspiring examples.
When his body was cut in two by a lorry in 1995, it was little short of a medical miracle that he lived. It took a team of more than 20 doctors to save his life. Skin was grafted from his head to seal his torso? But the legless Mr Peng was left only 78cm ( 2ft 6in ) tall.
Bedridden for years, doctors in China had little hope that he would ever be able to live anything like a normal life again. But recently, he began exercising his arms, building up the strength to carry out everyday chores such as washing his face and brushing his teeth.
Doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Center in Beijing found out about Mr Peng's plight late last year and devised a plan to get him up walking again. They came up with an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own, creating a sophisticated egg cup-like casing to hold his body with two bionic legs attached to it.
He has been taking his first steps around the center with the aid of his specially adapted legs and a re-sized walking frame. Mr Peng, who has to learn how to walk again, is said to be delighted with the device. What Self Confidence!

I'm stunned that he survived such a horrific accident too. What an incredibly inspiring story, James. Thanks for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteoh wow how amazing.. a wonderful story of determination and inspiration
ReplyDeleteTHat is what we call having a strong determination to succeed to survive. He just lost his 2 feet but he never lost his soul. He was given a nother chance to survive which he should be thankful to God for another life. So make the most out of it. He still have 2 arms to embrace people he love & people who never left him during his times of darkness. Keep it up and I hope he keeps that smile on his face. Take Care and thanks for sharing this info. God Bless!!
