籃球女孩

China's Inspirational 'Basketball Girl' (businessinsider.com Taylor)

This is Qian Hongyan, an 18-year-old girl who lives in China. She may seem like your average teenager, but she has a pretty unique story.

Qian lost both her legs in a car accident in 2000 when she was just four years old. Growing up in rural Luliang county, southwestern China's Yunnan province, her family had to improvise.

These pictures, taken in 2005 when Qian was just ten, show how. Qian learned to walk on her hands, using a basketball cut in half to steady herself. According to Xinhua news agency, she was dubbed "basketball girl" by locals.

In 2005, after attention in the Chinese press, Qian traveled to Beijing to receive free artificial limbs at the China Rehabilitation Research Center, a center that has been providing help to the disabled in China for over 20 years. This photo, from 2007, shows her receiving a larger set of limbs after she had grown.

Xinhua reports that Qian was born to an impoverished family, and that she had to accept that when her medical treatment ended in 2007, she would not be able to continue her education with her peers.

However, Qian found other opportunities. She joined a local swimming club for the disabled, the first of its kind in the country, sponsored by the Yunnan Provincial Federation of the Disabled.

At first, she found it difficult.

"I had to give much more than other kids when I learned to swim," Qian told China Daily in 2011. "It seemed there was no way I could float in the water. I was choked."

However, she went on to become a successful athlete, training for four hours every day. She hopes to one day win medals for her country in the Paralympic Games.

Qian Hongyan, the so-called "basketball girl," has become something of a celebrity in China. Reports on the progress of her artificial limbs make national news. Her fame has even spread abroad, with photographs of her becoming viral sensations on Facebook.

About Nick: His Story

Nick Vujicic (pronounced "Vooy-cheech"). Born in 1982 in Brisbane, Australia, without any medical explanation or warning, Vujicic came into the world with neither arms nor legs. Imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their firstborn, brand-new baby boy for the first time, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfect and abnormal. A limbless son was not what nurse Dushka Vujicic and her husband, Pastor Boris Vujicic, had been expecting. How would their son live a normal happy life? What could he ever do or become when living with such a massive disability? Little did they know that he would one day become someone who would inspire and motivate people from all walks of life.

Tips on how to break-up peacefully (hubpages)

    Never play for time. This will only create more doubts in you. But please keep in mind: if you see that your future ex had a bad day already, don’t make it worse for them. Wait at least one, but rather 2-3 more days. Break up with them only when both of you are calm and is able to speak in private and nonce can interrupt or interfere.

    Be direct; give the MAIN reason for the break-up. NEVER give a whole list and hurl abuse at them; keep in mind that the aim is to end the relationship and NOT to emotionally kill your future ex, right? Tell them the biggest issue that can’t be solved and concentrate on that. If it was a recurring problem, it will not shock and hurt the other party unnecessarily. Don’t over-complicate things.

       Do it in private and at the right place. Never break up on family events, after sex or on your holiday. Choose a calm and neutral place if needed, but the best is if you do it in your home.

        Be ready for some tears, arguing, questioning and/or begging. But never raise your voice, even if your partner starts yelling at first. Let them calm down and continue to talk.

    Keep distance after the break-up. If you know there’s no chance to get back together again in the future, never try or let to prolong the agony of both of you. Don’t be friends for a while if needed. After some time, when the feelings have settled, you can meet again, but never let the other party to start hoping again.

籃球女孩奪游泳金牌譜寫人生奇蹟- 中時電子報

雲南省第十屆殘運會，錢紅豔獲女子100米蛙泳冠軍。2000年10月，雲南陸良縣馬街鎮的錢紅豔遭遇車禍，失去雙腿。她將半個舊籃球套在身下，借助胳膊在地上爬行。2007年8月，開始接受專業的殘疾人游泳訓練。今年9月1日上午，女子100米蛙泳決賽拉開戰幕。隨著一聲哨音，位於第6賽道的錢紅豔100米蛙泳的運動員躍入水中。比賽一開始，錢紅豔就以微弱優勢取得領先位置，錢紅豔不斷發力，與身後運動員的距離越拉越大。後半程，幾乎成了錢紅豔的獨秀。最終，錢紅豔以1:56.96的成績獲得第一名。

說起錢紅豔，她還有一個稱呼是籃球女孩，這個稱呼的由來，要從2000年10月一場意外的車禍說起。那場車禍將雲南省陸良縣馬街鎮上莊村的4歲女孩錢紅豔捲入車底，導致她骨盆以下完全截肢，成為殘疾孩子。爺爺將舊籃球剪開一圈，套在她身體下面，走路時，她就用一雙小手拄著特製的木手墊，一步一步地挪動身體，開始了借用籃球行走的生活，因此大家都叫她籃球女孩。

2007年，受到各界關愛的錢紅豔從北京進行康復指導回到雲南後，被選入雲之南青少年游泳俱樂部，成為首批隊員。錢紅豔在上一屆雲南殘運會上奪得3枚金牌，在2009年全大陸殘疾人（18歲以下）游泳錦標賽中奪得1金2銀，2010年在浙江紹興舉辦的全國殘疾人游泳錦標賽中奪得3枚銀牌。

雲南省著名殘疾人游泳教練張鴻鵠說，紅豔這孩子很能吃苦，選運動員身體素質很重要，還要看她的殘疾程度是否適合游泳，她的高位截肢，在國外都很少見，最令人擔心的是沒有腿，這好比一艘船沒有舵，在水中沒有方向感，容易橫向擺動，影響速度。”

紅豔今年已經18歲了，8年前的假肢接受腔已經很難裝進她現在的身軀，短小的雙腿假肢也不適合她的年齡。2013年9月4日，錢紅豔穿戴上新義肢站立起來，比爸爸還要高，行走速度也達到了正常人水準。現在的錢紅豔已經是有著7年訓練和比賽經歷的老游泳運動員了，幾年來，在全大陸各類殘疾人比賽中摘金奪銀。

台大畢業生情殺案

教育部長吳思華在24日的教育及文化委員會上接受質詢，吳思華在質詢時被問到有關台大畢業生情殺案一事，吳思華直言兇手「不是個好學生」。

曾就讀建中、台大土木系的張彥文，疑因與林姓前女友感情生變，張彥文趁死者要到幼稚園上班途中，狠砍對方，光頸部就23刀，幾乎斷頸，林女傷重不治。在五月發生的北捷隨機砍人案，與此案一樣都是砍殺人，另一個共通點則是：一個是大學生、一個是知名大學畢業生，兩人都有念大學。

從犯人張彥文到更早之前的捷運隨機砍人案，大專院校的情緒管理教育與品德教育被拿出來討論。立委何欣純質詢時表示，要落實高教品格教育，但捷運砍人案到情殺案，犯人都是大學生，證實品格教育「破功」。

對此，吳思華直言，張彥文雖是台大畢業，但並非好學生，因為他不能管理情緒，教育部將要求各級大專院校加強心理輔導與通識，協助學生融入群體。
