A terrible accident happened, and the child was rushed to the hospital. After the boy woke up from a difficult surgery, he asked his daddy what had happened; the daddy answered, “Your arms were broken, so the doctor had to take them off.” The little boy then asked, “How will I be able to study? To write? To eat?” The father didnt answer; he couldnt say a word. His heart was broken.It seemed there was no hope for the boy, but his family never imagined what the young boy would find to change his life.

At the end of the race, he has to hit the final wall with his head, rather than with his arms, as other athletes do. “The pain in my head lasts for about two weeks after each competition because of the force of my head hitting the touch pad,” He Junquan told a China Daily reporter. That does not wet his spirits, however. “An accident at an early
