China toddler with 1 leg puts on own prosthetic leg for first time as mother cheers on, melting hearts on social media


A two-year-old child from China has melted hearts on mainland social media after she independently attached a prosthetic limb for the first time and successfully stood up.


One online user who uses the pseudonym “Iron Leg Girl Xinhe” from Jiangsu province in southeast China shared the heartwarming video, which featured the toddler navigating the process of attaching her limb and following guidance from her mother, surnamed Kong.


In the video, the mother constantly praises her daughter with encouragement like: “Which part do you wear first? Wow, baby, you’re amazing! Then what comes next? You’re so talented! Xinhe is just too incredible!”
