Only special efforts to be particularly lucky

A video of her walking on the runway at Shenzhen Fashion Week went viral online. Despite her lack of arms, her confident and comfortable smile on the runway attracted people's attention and won thousands of likes from netizens.

Her name is Lei Qingyao and she was born in Sichuan Province in January 1990. When she was three years old, she lost her arms forever in an accident. In the face of the sudden disaster, she did not cry, still as always looking forward to a happy life. One day, she had just been forbidden by her mother to wear Qipao, and her father cut off her beloved long hair with a pair of scissors. In the face of a cold decision, Lei Qingyao can no longer bear the burden of the heart, tears from her eyes.

Lei Qingyao squatted down to pick up her long black hair, but this thing was easy to do before, but it was difficult to move forward. For many days, piles of things accumulated in the heart, suddenly poured into the heart, she lay on the bed and cried.

All the year round can only like other boys with short hair, wearing ugly men's clothes, walking in front of and behind people, her heart under a kind of unparalleled depression, looking at those put in the wardrobe of beautiful skirts, can only sigh.

One day, she dug out a dusty book from under the bed and began to read it with relish. Cinderella's story instantly brought tears to her eyes. One after another, the question in her mind, can this life only be such as this to the fate of the mercy of the muddle on? No, I want to be as brave as Cinderella and walk out of my world with my feet.

Since then, Lei has learned to eat and write with her feet. At first, she managed to squeeze a pair of chopsticks between her toes, but she couldn't pull them apart, let alone hold anything. She was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She practiced over and over again, pinching stones, leaves and sticks between her feet and grinding her toes until they were hot and painful. After thousands of times of practice, she not only learned to eat with her feet, cut vegetables and make dumplings, but also learned to dress, comb her hair, look in the mirror, make a bed, write, draw and other skills. From then on, she firmly believed that I must do what others can.

When Lei Qingyao proposed to learn to ride a bicycle, her parents were firmly opposed, but she was born a stubborn temper, determined that the thing is eight cows can not pull back. She fell down again and again, and got black and blue, black and blue, and big and small bags all over her forehead, but she still refused to stop and continue to practice, until she could ride a bicycle freely in the streets and lanes, and then showed a satisfied smile.

To prove she wasn't bad, Lei signed up for her school's track and field team. Under the scorching sun, regardless of the advice of her teachers and classmates, she practiced sit-ups, ran, long jump, pulled rubber bands with one foot and two feet, and pulled tires of more than 10 kilograms. Her sweat was not wasted, she won four silver MEDALS and two bronze MEDALS in the Sichuan Paralympic Games.

After winning the award, Lei Qingyao is more like a warrior who challenges the fate without hesitation. When a director was ready to give her a leading role, but hesitated because she could not swim and would not be able to perform the hero of the swimming champion, Lei Qingyao charged for swimming.

She had her instructor strap a thick foam board to her back and "plop" into the pool. As she sank under the water, the instructor hurriedly pulled up the rope. She drank a lot of water in spite of her preparation, but she kept practicing until she mastered the basic skills of swimming.

Backstroke is very difficult for people without arms, so Lei tied a white cloth to the shore and focused all her strength on her teeth as she set off, relying on the moment she fell into the water to gain explosive power and propel herself forward. To get the best results, she inevitably hit her head against the wall while turning, each time leaving her with a splitting headache, inflamed teeth and a mouth too sore to speak, but she kept training and eventually learned a variety of swimming positions. After the release of the film, Lei Qingyao successfully won the Huabiao Award and stood on the dazzling podium.

Lei continued to challenge herself, taking part in TV shows, winning many awards and focusing on fashion design, which led to a runway show. Many netizens said Lei was very lucky. Hearing this, she smiled and said: "No special efforts no special lucky, any timidity and retreat in adversity is the stumbling block to turn over. As a man without arms, if he does not make every effort to uncover the mystery of fate, how can he know whether the road ahead is waiting for a familiar note or unfamiliar melody?
