A disabled 11-year-old boy in China has captivated social media after he ditched his crutches to perform complicated moves in a street dance competition.

Li Junhao, from Bozhou, Anhui province in central China, was raised by disabled parents after being diagnosed with congenital muscular dystrophy at birth, causing muscle atrophy and joint deformities in his legs.

A viral video posted online on April 9 shows Li confidently tossing aside his crutches, lifting himself into a handstand, and launching into a breakdancing routine filled with challenging moves.
