A (2023届潍坊高三调研) 体裁:记叙文 难度:★★★☆☆
Liang Kaiyu, a 30⁃year⁃old engineer, lost his left leg above the knee in an explosion when testing his self⁃built automatic electronic motor in January 2020. He used his engineering skills to make his prosthetic (假肢的) leg more comfortable and safe to wear.
“I have experienced some awkward moments while using the prosthetic leg, which has made me think about how to upgrade it.” Liang says, “Security checks when traveling, especially at airports, can be a bit problematic: others include trying on clothes in fitting rooms, shoes at shopping malls, and changing from ‘feet’ to a running blade before jogging.” Since late 2020, he has upgraded his high⁃tech prosthesis. One of the latest upgrades is the addition of colored LED lights to his running blade.
He has become an overnight Internet hit on short⁃video streaming platforms for sharing his designs and upgrades on his high⁃tech prosthetic leg to make it close to, or even better than, a real one. Liang says, “Although China has millions of amputees (截肢患者), people with a prosthesis are still a rare sight on the street. I hope my videos can be inspiring to people struggling through tough times, just like I have been through.”
Since his optimism and courage made national headlines, Liang has gone viral on social media. Many users refer to him by the nickname “Iron Leg Man”. “What amazes me most is not your skills, but your confidence after such a disaster,” a netizen says.
To advance functional performance and help amputees maintain or regain their freedom of movement, Liang has provided his experience and suggestions to several prosthetics companies. “If there is a good opportunity, I want to make high⁃tech prosthetics accessible and affordable to more amputees in China,” Liang says.
