This Chinese man Peng Shu Lin’s body was cut into two pieces in a road accident but he survived; now he has astounded doctors by learning to walk again. If Peng can walk again, then you should understand why life must goes on no matter how desperate you are.

When his body was cut in two by a lorry in 1995, it was a medical miracle that he survived with legless body measures only 78cm (2ft 6in) tall. It took a team of more than 20 doctors to save his life. Skin was grafted from his head to seal his torso.

Bedridden for years, doctors in China had little hope that he would ever be able to live anything like a normal life again. But recently, he began exercising his arms, building up the strength to carry out everyday chores such as washing his face and brushing his teeth.

Doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing found out about Peng’s plight late last year and devised a plan to get him up walking again. They came up with 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 to it.

He has been taking his first steps around the centre with the aid of his specially adapted legs and a resized walking frame. Peng who has to learn how to walk again, is said to be delighted with the device.

So, now you know how lucky we are? If Peng had never complained, we have no right to complain too!
