Inspirational Message 1 : Miracle Man

This inspirational message is sent by an “unknown” friend with an interesting title:MIRACLE MAN and to be honest, at the time when I saw this picture from an email, I felt so shocked. That’s a picture of Peng Shulin, a man who was cut in two by a lorry in 1995 and the fact that he’s still alive is really a miracle. Then, I want to share this story to YOU with a little hope that you will gratitude ALL YOU HAVE until today, included your hands and eyes that you used to read this article:



It took a team of more than 20 doctors to save his life. Skin was grafted from his head to seal his torso – but the legless Mr Peng was left only 78cm (2ft 6in) tall. 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 routine such as washing his face and brushing his teeth. Doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing found out about Mr 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. Mr Peng, who has to learn how to walk again, is said to be delighted with the device.
