In 2014, doctors told Cai Lu he would never walk again. After twelve years, the 34-year-old is proving them wrong—not just by walking, but by running a company.

When he was 22, he lost his right leg in an accident on a business trip. In 2018, Cai began using a prosthetic (义肢) and relearned to walk. But stepping outside was another fight for him. The stares (凝视) he received made him uncomfortable.

A turning point came through Wei Qing, who is a member of a local disabled persons’ organization. Wei visited Cai repeatedly, gently inviting him to attend group outings. Cai finally went. “I realized I wasn’t alone,” he said.

Around 2020, Cai tried starting a fried chicken delivery (外卖) business but failed. “Don’t rush. Take your time,” his mother told him. Hearing her words, Cai stepped back and poured himself into training programs. In 2023, he won a national championship for persons with disabilities in tea art—an achievement that gave him the confidence to start his prosthetics company the same year.

As a prosthetic user himself, Cai could better understand his customers. “Traditional companies fit you and send you away,” he said. “We provide full life cycle service: pre-fitting training, fitting, and future support.”

His athletic career has also taken off. In 2025, Cai was chosen for China’s disabled park golf (高尔夫) team. When he isn’t on the green or in the company, he travels as a speaker for schools across Zhejiang province.

Looking back at his experiences, we find the message is simple: “Keep being brave.”
