It takes ten-year-old Yan Yuhong more than an hour, using numerous methods, to get to school each day, and yet, he has been doing this persistently—rain or shine—for four years.
Yan’s grandmother told the Huaxi City Daily that Yan experienced a high fever at the age of one and contracted polio, which caused his paraplegia. Yan began to crawl when he was about four or five years old and later learned to walk on his hands.
