Wooden benches to help walking

Shared by Ana Duarte on 2016-05-12 16:44

About the solution

After a car accident, in 1983, Li had to have her legs amputated. Since then, Li started practicing walking with the help of two wooden benches. She mastered the technique by the age of eight.

“Compared with most others, I've come against more difficulties," Li explained. "But, I always whisper to myself that 'God helps those who help themselves' in order to inspire me to keep moving forward".

Because she was a victim of a car accident, Li wanted to become a doctor, so she could help people and save lives. Li graduated from a vocational school, and then got a job at a clinic in Wadian village in 2001.

Li has been a doctor for 15 years now, and she was worn out a total of 30 benches.
