A man who lost his legs in a train accident climbed the Great Wall of China on Tuesday (August 22).
Huang Jianming from China's southern city of Shenzhen had both legs amputated in 1994, after he fell out of a speeding train carriage.
Measuring 85 centimeters in height and weighing 39 kilograms, Huang calls himself a "half man," since he has become half the size of an average person due to his accident.
He climbed the Great Wall for two hours by using the sheer strength of his arms, pushing himself up the cobblestoned steps in front of hundreds of bemused tourists.

The 55-year-old Xu Yuehua, who lost her legs in a train accident at the age of 13, has spent 37 years raising the children in the social welfare institute. She has brought up more than 130 children. She moves without legs but a stool; she spends her days on a pair of small stools, so the children love to call her “Stool Mama”. The Stool Mama feels happy to take care of these children and never feels regrettable for doing this.
