In life we keep complaining about what is or why we don’t have.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

Poor people want to be rich and rich are never satisfied with what they have.

Peng Shuilin is 78cms high. He was born in Hunan Province , China .<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1995, in Shenzhen, a freight truck sliced his body in half.<\/p>\n

His lower body and legs were beyond repair.
<\/span>\"\"
Surgeons sewed up his torso.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peng Shuilin, 37, spent nearly two years in hospital in Shenzhen, southern China , undergoing a series of operations to re-route nearly every major organ or system inside his body.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peng kept exercising his arms, building up strength, washing his face and brushing his teeth.
<\/span>\"\"
He survived against all odds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now Peng Shulin has astounded doctors by learning to walk again after a decade.\u00a0
<\/span>\"\"
Considering Peng’s plight, doctors at the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing devised 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.<\/span>
<\/span>\"\"
It took careful consideration, skilled measurement and technical expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peng has been walking the corridors of Beijing Rehabilitation Centre<\/p>\n

with the aid of his specially adapted legs and a re-sized walking frame.
<\/span>\"\"
RGO is a recipicating gait orthosis, attached to a prosthetic socket bucket.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a cable attached to both legs so when one goes forward, the other goes backwards.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Oh, so satisfying to ‘walk’ again after ten years with half a body!
<\/span>\"\"
Hospital vice-president Lin Liu said: “We’ve just given him a checkup; he is fitter than most men his age.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Peng Shuilin has opened his own bargain supermarket, called the\u00a0Half Man-Half Price Store<\/strong>. The inspirational 37-year-old has become a businessman\u00a0
and is used as a role model for other amputees.<\/p>\n

At just 2ft 7ins tall, he moves around in a wheelchair giving lectures on recovery from disability.<\/p>\n

His attitude is amazing, he doesn’t complain.<\/em><\/p>\n

“He had good care, but his secret is cheerfulness. Nothing ever gets him down.”<\/p>\n

You have a whole body. You have feet.<\/p>\n

Now you have met a man who has no feet.<\/p>\n

His life is a feat of endurance, a triumph of the human spirit in overcoming extreme adversity.<\/p>\n

Next time you want to complain about something trivial, don’t.<\/p>\n

Remember Peng Shuilin instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
