This hit close to home for me. I was paralyzed as young as her, too. I woke up one day in excruciating pain in my legs and realized my legs weren't moving. After being confined to wheelchair for months, I learned how to walk all over again. It was like I was learning how to walk for the first time. Bless her, what a strong little girl.

The girl deserves all the praise but the parents are also as amazing as the girl. When her mother said that when Anqi will encounter difficulties in her life in the future, these moments will encourage and inspire her to never give up and indicate how far has she come, and that's really some inspiring stuff right there. Surely it could do wonders to anybody who's down in their life.

To "never give up" is the false phrasing. Trying and doing your best , yeah, everyone should do this. But sometimes giving up, the same as asking for help, isn't wrong. "You will make it through every hardships", when facing hard times, sounds way better to me.
She must’ve been in SUCH pain! as well as her parents by seeing her in that situation. Great job parents, and great job to you too kiddo💚

Is that a new popular comments formula? I'm gonna use it.
This is exactly why physical therapy needs to be advocated more in the US especially when it comes to spinal cord injuries. A lot of times people in this country will always resort to medications or invasive surgeries with high risk, not to say that it’s not necessary in certain situations, but in most cases physical rehabilitation is what people need to get better in the long run. Go to a PHYSICAL THERAPIST if you have a severe physical or neurological impairment that does not require surgery! It will be a game changer!!!

This beautiful story reminds me of my father. In my last year of uni, I had a mental breakdown and had to seek therapy. But, during the time I struggled to recuperate, my father was there for me. After I was stable enough, he would accompany me to uni to finish my education. Long story short, I graduated with a satisfying grade. From the little girl's story and my own experience, I do believe in the power of a father's love and determination. ❤
This little girl and her family are inspirational
Those parents are golden. Pure Gold!
her determination is strong & she never gave up even in hard times even at a young age, same with the parents. This is really inspirational.
A million kudos to her parents who did not believe the doctor's prognosis and went ahead to change the little girl's life.. Never ever ever ever ever give up on the people you love. 💜
This is a true example of love from the parents. They will do anything in their mind and physical will to help their child get better 👍🏼
way she bites her dad's hand...man! I felt the pain. She's born a warrior
This made me cry so much. She is such a strong girl. Pray for her full recovery and stronger than ever.

When I see parents being loving, I admit it hits me hard. I can't remember even one time my mother came when I needed her. She always made fun of my failures, mistakes and hardships. It boggles my mind that loving families exist who don't fight everyday. Best wishes to this brave little girl and mad respect to her mommy and daddy ♥️♥️♥️
Такие моменты всегда восхищают. Низкий поклон докторам, терпеливым целеустремлёным родителям и девочки, которые не опускали руки. Счастья вам.🌺👍
Amazing. Kudos to the girl, her parents and the doctors/therapist and all parties for treating her.
What a warrior she is! Hats off to her and her family as well for such a determination.
I don't think I could ever live up to such parental love and skills if I ever had a child. Incredible
Well done, Anqi. How amazing. I have partial hemiplagia. I try to stay as active with what I have left as possible. But I'm an adult. I cannot even begin to know what it must have been like for a child. Amazing parents, too, for going through it with her and not giving up. I wish them all the best.
What a great miracle She will truly be happy.Enjoy that kid.

definitely teared up from this one. that little girl is a warrior. and her parents are incredible. the world needs more stories like this one.
This made me smile. This proves that nothing is impossible as long as you determine you can do it. Best luck to her family.
Fun fact about this phenomenon. This is contributed to a physiological act of homeostasis. When she succumbed to her spinal injury, certain cells developed during her recovery to help her live and survive the injury. The excruciating therapy she was experiencing was also homeostasis, where those cells that developed are also dying off due to her paralyzed body being reconditioned to move more often, that's why she was in constant pain. But after some time, homeostasis does its job and after all that therapy her body had redeveloped brand new cells that will help her survive all those movements for the long term TLDR: Her therapy is the equivalent of working out to get stronger and adapt to the spinal injury
😭 it must’ve hurt in the process,but now look at her. She came a long way. Wonderful parents who supported her
That's a very loving father right there and the little girl is such a strong one, she really is a warrior❤
Great parents and amazing story. Courage is always needed.
