Guangdong's "one-legged soccer king" returns: he amputated before going abroad for training. He said he was lucky.

"Just no legs, I have one. From two legs to' three legs', I think I earned it. "

He, a native of Shanwei, Guangdong, is 26 years old. When he was young, he showed his talent for football. At the age of 12, he was invited by scouts to go to France for professional training. For him at that time, becoming a strong football player was not a delusion. However, on the eve of going abroad, fate suddenly hit him head-on. He was diagnosed with malignant osteosarcoma in his left leg. One year later, he had no choice but to remove his left lower limb.

He is yiyi.

"one-legged king"

He Yiyi, the one-legged king, became popular on the Internet.

In the video, when his left leg was amputated, he used two metal crutches as support. He runs, races, dribbles and shifts gears with one leg in the rain. After bypassing the defender, he took the opportunity to lift his right foot to push and shoot, and the football was introduced. A series of movements are flowing, which is not inferior to other competitors.

In another video, He Yiyi mentioned that his right foot was drawn by a football, and the crutch supported by his right hand slipped due to water accumulated on the turf, so he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Later, a golfer approached him and patted him on the shoulder. As soon as He Yi pushed hard with one foot, he jumped up again on crutches.

He is also an athlete of the track and field team of Guangdong Disabled Persons' Federation. Besides track and field training, he plays two or three games with his friends in Shenzhen every week. Participants include amateur, semi-professional and professional players.

"There is no amputee football program in China, and all the people I play with are healthy people. I am an amateur, and it will be better to play with amateurs, because I can strive to score goals in every game. " He Yi said with a smile.

Helpless amputation

Because of his love, he never left football. In his eyes, football brought him a second life-"I found a malignant tumor on my left leg after I fell that year. If it weren't for this autumn, I might be gone. "

From 65438 to 0996, He was born in Gongxing Village, Jiesheng Town, Shanwei City, Guangdong Province. Most of his childhood memories are related to football. At the age of 6, I started chasing football around the village with my brother. "Every day, he has to take a few steps."

Because of his fast running speed, He Yiyi showed his football talent very early and often went to other cities to participate in competitions as the main force of the school football team. In 2006, at the age of 10, he was selected as an echelon player by a professional football club in Shenzhen and received systematic training. At that time, a road of professional football was slowly spreading out in front of him.

The day-to-day training life ushered in a new opportunity after two years. In 2008, due to his outstanding personal advantages, He was attracted by an overseas scout and invited him to France for more professional training. If all goes well, he will start the overseas vocational training career that countless players dream of at the age of 12.

He was alone in Iraq when he was young.

However, just when he was full of expectations for the future, fate struck hard.

I thought that active treatment would make me recover soon, but the situation was much worse than he thought. After more than ten times of chemotherapy, his condition is still getting worse. He Yi was supposed to go to France for further study, but he stayed in the hospital bed for a year.

"At that time, the doctor said that my leg might be hopeless and suggested amputation. Once the cancer cells spread, they may not be able to save their lives. " He still remembers that when he was ill, he was so painful that he couldn't sleep every night, which was very painful.

In the end, he took the initiative to propose amputation to his hesitant family.

Back in the game

After the operation, He Yiyi fell asleep for two days, and when he woke up, his left leg was gone. "But his life was saved for the time being." When his family asked him how he was, he said, "I am very comfortable and the pain has disappeared."

He was still young and had no clear concept of life after amputation. He recalled, "At that time, I was still young, only knowing that my illness was painful and I was not clear about the future. When I amputated from the beginning, I felt that I must be a person who can stand up. "

After a short pause, he added, "Even now, I have a good life and have a good time every day. I just have no legs. I have another one. From two legs to' three legs', I think I earned it. "

Teenagers who have been able to break through the defense in a flash on the court need to learn to walk again from the moment they get off the bed.

"At first, I couldn't even walk on crutches." He said that although he was depressed at that time, he finally accepted himself with the encouragement of his family and friends.

Not long after, in order to touch the football that he missed day and night as soon as possible, he returned to the stadium with crutches. However, due to a fall and inflammation, he experienced two amputations. With that, he pointed to the position of his left leg. "I cut it here (thigh) at first, and then I cut it twice, and the higher I cut, the higher I cut."

Nevertheless, the soul of sports still burns in his bones. 20 1 1 signed up to participate in the selection of athletes of the track and field team of Guangdong Disabled Persons' Federation, and finally lost because of his thin figure. "At that time, I was very thin and skinny. But I am not convinced and always think that I should take the road of sports. " He said.

He participated in the track and field competition.

He Yiyi, who was "unconvinced", gradually became strong through a series of exercises such as swimming, mountain climbing and cycling. In June of the following year, I entered the track and field team of the Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation as I wished.

He knows that it is not easy for professional athletes, especially disabled professional athletes. "If you don't train for a while, then go back to the track and field. After the training, take off the sports prosthesis and you will find blood on your left leg. "

After track and field training, He Yiyi still can't let go of his "old job", and the coach of the track and field team is also worried about him. "Before preparing for the track and field competition, the coach wouldn't let me play football, so I couldn't help kicking a few feet. If I am found, I will be scolded. " Remembering the secret competition with the coach before, He Yi laughed cheerfully.

Relying on our own efforts and the training of coaches, we have achieved great success in track and field events. In 20 15, at the 9th National Games for the Disabled held in Chengdu, he won the long jump champion successfully, and 100 meter runner-up and 200m runner-up. 202 1 Won two silver medals in the high jump and long jump at the 11th National Games for the Disabled held in Xi 'an.

Keep running

He thinks he is lucky.

In fact, he used to take part in the field competition on crutches, and was rejected countless times. "As soon as I came over, people saw me holding two sticks and said, forget it, or stop kicking. I was really depressed when I was rejected. " He Yi said frankly and refused again and again, which made him learn to "accept".

Many people around him advised him to stop playing football and get injured again. He didn't agree with this. "If I don't play football, can you see me today?" You can't even see me. "

He borrowed crutches from volley in a football match.

In May, 20021,He launched a recruitment campaign online, hoping to form a disabled men's football team. He wrote in the recruitment language: As a disabled athlete, I hope to join hands with you to create life value and social value together.

He will continue to run on the field, whether it is football or track and field. In June this year 165438+ 10, He will participate in the Guangdong Paralympic Games 100 meter running, 200m running and long jump.

He hopes to stand on the podium and bring back some medals.
