Hey there, adventurers! 🌟
Imagine traveling 5,800 kilometers (that’s like going across the whole United States!) using just your hands. Sounds tough, right? Well, two brave friends from the Chinese mainland, Pan Yifei and Wang Feng, did just that! And guess what? They were joined by their American friend, Lao Tan.
These amazing explorers used hand cycles — special bicycles powered by your hands instead of feet — to go on an incredible three-month journey. They didn’t let anything stop them, not even their spinal cord injuries. 🚲✋
Their adventure is part of something called the "Krankin’ thru China" campaign from 2017. It’s all about inspiring people with spinal cord injuries to get out there, explore the world, and feel confident and free again.
And now, you can join them on their journey! 📺 CGTN’s new documentary "Lao Tan and his Chinese Friends" is coming out on July 21. Don’t miss this chance to see their exciting story and learn how they took life into their own hands!
Are you ready to be inspired? 😊
