Liu Ge from Linfen, north China’s Shanxi Province decided to learn walking with his hands when he was made fun of by his classmates at elementary school. He refused to use the wheelchair or any other assistance from parents. /VCG Photo
Liu moved in a handstand position with his hands when he was young and helped his parent do farming work in his spare time. In the very beginning, it was tough because he cannot manage to balance and only walked several steps in the position. /VCG Photo
However, Liu tried continued to practice as he saw his parents having trouble with the farm as they were aging. Liu told himself “Disability does not mean waste. It’s necessary to share the burden.” /VCG Photo
Now, Liu can move 200 meters at one go and walk five to six kilometers to the maximum with several breaks. “My ability of handstand walking is out of practice and after endless trips and falls,” Liu said to VCG. /VCG Photo
