In January, 2023, Lai Chiwai used a rope to pull himself up over 820 feet(250 meters) along the side of a skyscraper in Hong Kong. Mr. Lai is a disabled person can't move his legs. He was strapped into his wheelchair as he climbed.
Before 2011, Mr. Lai was one of (good) rock climbers in the world. He ranked(排名) the eighth in the world, and had received many prizes. He also taught (other) how to climb.
That ended 10 years ago, when Mr. Lai had car accident. It left him paralyzed(瘫痪) from the waist down. He was unable to move his legs. Since then, he has needed to use a wheelchair(get) around.
However, Mr. Lai couldn't get over his love of climbing. He came up a way to climb again. He began working as a climbing teacher once more.
In 2016, Mr. Lai climbed a 495-meter mountain in Hong Kong, "While I(climb), I forgot that I was a disabled person. I could still dream and I could still(successful) do anything I liked doing," he said. "Usually, disabled people (think) as being weak. I hope my climb will send a different message. Nothing is impossible you put your mind in it," he continued. His spirit is worth learning for all of us.
