Young girl breaks free, defying limitations
Recently, an online video showing a girl with cerebral palsy from Chongqing breaking free from her assistive device and managing to reach the finish line in a school sports meeting has moved many netizens.
Li Wenya, 10 years old, has been suffering from cerebral palsy since she was seven months old.
Her mother, Cheng Ping, gave birth to her and her twin sister at an advanced age. Wenya, the older one of the twins, was found to have the disease. Cheng and her husband then started to take Wenya to see doctors and help her with rehabilitation training.
Before Wenya attended the school, her mother had considered sending her to special schools for the disabled. But she knew that her daughter wanted to live a normal life like her peers.
After much thought, Cheng decided to send Wenya to a primary school in the city.
