Twelve years ago, doctors told Cai Lu he would never walk again. Now, the 34-year-old has ____1____ them wrong—not only by walking, but also by running a prosthetics (假肢) company.

Cai’s life journey changed because of a terrible ____2____ in 2014. His right leg was cut off at once, and his left leg was broken. He fell into a 35-day coma (昏迷). For three years, doctors tried hard to ____3____ his left leg, but each small improvement was followed by another ____4____ operation.

In late 2017, Cai made an unbelievable choice: he asked doctors to remove his left leg. “It wasn’t ____5____,” he said. “I just couldn’t keep lying to myself.” The decision brought him “complete freedom”.

In 2018, Cai started using prosthetics and relearned to walk. He tried different jobs, yet all ended in ____6____. Taking his mother’s advice to slow down, he attended training programs and won a national championship in tea art in 2023.

That ____7____ gave him the confidence to found a prosthetics company the same year. He cared more about the disadvantaged groups and about 40 percent of his workers are ____8____. As a prosthetic user himself, he understood users’ pain points. His products are quite popular and some of his ____9____ include many famous stars like Jiang Yuyan, who won seven gold medals at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Games (残奥会).
