Li Chengyang was originally a lively and likable child, but he had a car accident when he was four-year-old. Doctors had to perform an amputation from the upper limb after diagnosis, and he became one-legged boy ever since. Li’s father is a substitute taxi driver, and when the principal taxi driver heard he wanted to send his son to go to university, on his own initiative he lent the car to Li’s father for a day.
