The atmosphere at the event was also heated. As soon as Liu appeared on stage, the audience immediately applauded, and while he continued to pose, cheers and words of encouragement poured out. About ten years ago, Liu lost his right arm and right leg in a traffic accident. Immediately after the accident, he was deeply shocked and spent a period in lethargy. He reportedly spent days lying in bed, just looking at his phone, and even daily activities were difficult for him.
He recently competed in the under-65kg weight category. Although the results and rankings of the competition were not disclosed, both the audience and online users gave him a big round of applause simply for taking on the challenge. Regarding the questioning looks directed at him, Liu said, “I just fell down, but I didn’t die. Why do people think I can’t get back up?” He added, “I am a person with a disability. But as long as my heart is healthy, I will always be healthy and happy.” One spectator commented, “When Liu appeared on stage, everyone in the hall clapped. He demonstrated honesty and an optimistic spirit. His story gives courage to many people.” Finally, Liu stated, “My greatest wish is to do something to repay the gym that has allowed me to work out for free.”
