“Qian Hongyan lost both her legs in an accident at only three years old
in 2000. Hongyan’s family wasn’t wealth enough to provide her with
hi-tech equipment to help her walk, so they gave her a basketball to
help her move. Hongyan used brushes as low-level crutches. She was able
to travel to and from home and school by bouncing on the basketball.
Five years later, doctors were finally been able to give her prosthetic
legs.
