When I was one year old and four months old, I couldn't sit, climb or turn around. I can't walk until I am five years old, and it is difficult to speak. It takes a lot of speech therapy classes to make my words clear.
When my parents divorced in kindergarten, my mother took me to various rehabilitation courses. I grew up in a single-parent family. I often moved and transferred, and my grandparents took care of me for a while.
I am not good at math and I am often bullied. My classmates laughed at me as a "rowing boy, lame" and formed a "gathering of heroes". When you are unhappy, you chase me and stuff garbage into your schoolbag. There are many excellent people in my family. My grandfather is a professional, my grandmother is a teacher, my uncle is a professor, my aunt is a doctor and my aunt is an Olympic shooter. I feel inferior and have been looking for what I can do.
Until 2005, I met a horse in Taiwan Province Equestrian Treatment Center in Taoyuan Zhongli, which changed my life.
Riding a horse can cure numbness of limbs. I think it is amazing. It was not a person who helped me recover, but a tall animal. Sitting on a horse called "Rabbit", walking slowly with the rhythm of horse-drawn and released, won't hurt much. In 2006, I participated in the "Hope Cup Equestrian Competition for the Physically and Mentally Disabled" and won the first prize. I decided to be an equestrian when I was young.
Later, when I dropped out of junior high school, my mother entrusted me to the center, which became my second home. My coach Zhang Zhaoyuan, Uta and physiotherapist Zhan became my family. They introduced me to Solomon Racecourse in Hsinchu as an apprentice, helped me find Guangfu High School to continue my studies, and I also went back to the center regularly to practice the competition route.
During my apprenticeship, I have to get up at 5: 30 every day to clean up the horse manure, feed the horses, brush them and get ready. Not afraid of hardship when cleaning the stables. Because of the limitation caused by brain numbness, I have to practice riding more than ordinary people, such as "surfing" on horseback, which takes about 50 to 100 times. I have to do 1000 every day before I have a rest.
