The swords carved into the stone interpret the disabled athletes’ tenacity and courage to cut through the boulder of destiny and mark the chapter of life.

3-minute appearance, it took them several years to arrive
After three minutes of running on stage, Wang Guangyujun took three years to arrive. “From accidental injury, to running in with the prosthetic limbs, to self-adjustment, and ‘standing up’ again.”
Wang Guangyujun said frankly that the first half of his life went from ordinary to low. In 2020, while working in the workshop, a 20-cm-long iron block accidentally cut into his left calf. At the age of 32, he was forced to have his legs amputated and fell into the confusion of being teased by fate. “When I got into a wheelchair, I didn’t want to step out of the house.”
Until the appearance of Pan Junfan, like a leader, gave this Shandong man hope of restarting his life.
Taizhou native Pan Junfan encountered difficulties in life earlier. He lost his right calf in a car accident in 2015. He decided to face his new life with a running attitude. After hard and scientific rehabilitation training, he put on prosthetic limbs and became “One-legged Pan”.
From 2016Hike 108 kilometers on the wall, and hike nine major landforms in China in 2017. From completing the 70.3-mile Ironman Triathlon in 2018, to completing the “Big Iron” Ironman Triathlon in Australia in 2019, to completing the 513-mile Ironman Triathlon in 2020. In cross-country challenges, Pan Junfan challenged his limits again and again and broke through himself. “What I couldn’t do with two legs, I can now do it with one leg.”
With one person and one leg, Pan Junfan has created firsts one after another, such as “the first leg amputee in the world to complete the Gobi 108-kilometer challenge” and “the first leg amputee in the world to complete the 70.3-mile Ironman Triathlon.” “Chinese”, “the first amputee in the world to walk through no man’s land covering all the world’s landscapes” and so on.

“I also like sports. I also have a lower leg amputation. He can live such a wonderful life, why can’t I?” Putting on the “mechanical leg”, Wang Guangyujun rode his beloved motorcycle back to the track. He opened a self-media account to publish “The Daily Life of a One-Legged Rider”, founded a prosthetic club, went out with prosthetic friends, and also went to various parts of the country to help people with amputations overcome difficulties.
She came over, but went up in person, just because his mother just said she was going to bed, and he didn’t want the sound of the two people talking to disturb his mother’s rest.
“My world has become bigger.” Wang Guangyujun sighed, “Although the accident interrupted my original stable life, it also opened up a new round of wonderful life for me.”
The energy transfer does not stop at the stage, the written and video records are also moving
Standing at the center of the stage at the opening ceremony of the Asian Paralympic Games, Wang Guangyujun regarded it as the highlight moment of his life.
“I am honored and proud that this is the stage to show China’s style to the world.” He truly hopes to pass on the positive energy that inspired him through this performance.
To learn from him for a few years, maybe I will grow up in the future. After that, I can take the martial arts exam. It’s a pity that the mother and son only lived in that alley for more than a year before leaving, but he continued to practice boxing all the way, and he never stopped for a day in these years. In the past few months, Wang Guangyujun and Pan Junfan had rehearsed countless times and received sincere applause time and time again. “Every time we finish the rehearsal, the volunteers and staff standing at the edge of the venue and in the passage will spontaneously applaud us.” A week before the opening, the two checked the details of the movements over and over again, striving for perfection. On October 21, after the last rehearsal, Pan JunfanLeaning against the wall, still holding his cell phone, he watched the video of his performance over and over again.
Pan Junfan said, “I will keep running hard, because when I can’t run anymore, I will definitely miss my running posture.”

“The Dao can be called Madam’s two sisters-in-law, but they have always looked down on her, so why should she? She was sick when she was sick? How about coming back to see her in bed? The energy transmission of “Front Warrior” does not stop at the stage . Pan Junfan’s life experience has been filmed into the documentary “One-Legged Pan” and also written into his autobiography “Living to Live”. The day after the opening ceremony, Pan Junfan will rush to Chengdu to share the educational curriculum “Life Faith” he developed with school teachers.
“Life Faith” is a course developed by him based on his personal experience to guide the healthy mental growth of teenagers. This special education class has already entered some primary and secondary schools in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Chengdu, and will also enter the classrooms of more than 20 schools in Zhejiang next year. It is a collection of nine 20-minute short films that tell nine stories from Pan Junfan’s life to convey to students nine themes such as resistance to frustration, optimism, love, confidence, perseverance, cooperation, and creation.
From ordinary life to the trough and then to the highlight moment, this unforgettable experience made Wang Guangyujun more and more convinced that everyone has the opportunity to excel in life and have the opportunity to realize their dreams.
“Standing on the stage is only for a moment, and life will eventually return to the ordinary, but I will continue to work hard to do meaningful things in my ordinary life.” They are not good people, they laugh at their daughters, humiliate their daughters, and always show tolerance when they go out He is generous and spreads rumors that his daughter does not know good or bad and is not grateful. They tortured the girls at home,” Wang Guangyujun said.
