This will
absolutely Blow You Away!!!!!
In life we keep complaining about what is or why we
don't have.
Half the time we seem dissatisfied, though
full-bodied and free to choose. Fat people say,"I want to be slim." Skinny
people say,"I want to be fatter."
Poor people want to be rich and rich are never
satisfied with what they have.
Peng Shuilin is 78cms high. He was born in
.
In 1995, in Shenzhen, a freight truck sliced his
body in half.
His lower body and legs were beyond
repair.
Surgeons sewed up his torso.
Peng Shuilin, 37, spent nearly two years in
hospital in Shenzhen, southern
operations to re-route nearly every major organ or system inside his
body.
Peng kept exercising his arms, building up
strength, washing his face and brushing his teeth.
He survived against all odds.
Now Peng Shulin has astounded doctors by learning
to walk again after a decade.
Considering Peng's plight, doctors at
the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in
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.
It took careful consideration, skilled measurement
and technical expertise.
Peng has been walking the corridors of Beijing
Rehabilitation Centre
with the aid of his specially adapted legs and a
re-sized walking frame.
RGO is a recipicating gait orthosis, attached to a
prosthetic socket bucket.
There is a cable attached to both legs so when one
goes forward, the other goes backwards.
Rock to the side, add a bit of a twist and the leg
without the weight on it advances, while the other one stays still, giving a
highly inefficient way of ambulation.
Oh, so satisfying to 'walk' again after ten years
with half a body!
Hospital vice-president Lin Liu said: "We've just
given him a checkup; he is fitter than most men his age."
Peng Shuilin
has opened his own bargain supermarket, called the Half Man-Half Price Store. The
inspirational 37-year-old has become a businessman
and is used as a role
model for other amputees.
At just 2ft 7ins tall, he moves around in a
wheelchair giving lectures on recovery from disability.
His attitude is
amazing, he doesn't complain.
"He had good care, but his
secret is cheerfulness. Nothing ever gets him down."
You have a whole body. You have
feet.
Now you have met a man who has no
feet.
His life is a feat of endurance, a triumph of the
human spirit in overcoming extreme adversity.
Next time you want to complain about something
trivial, don't.
Remember Peng Shuilin
instead.
