Coach Abudurymu Nurmaimaiti, who is 50 years old, has been deeply involved in the para sports industry for nearly 20 years. With enthusiasm and patience, he has helped these disabled teenagers change their fate and improve their family life with the support of national policies. For now, the team has more than 10 disabled teenagers from local pastoral areas of Xinjiang, with an average age of 17 years old.
Refusing to let disabilities diminish their pursuit of dreams, these runners gradually emerge as stars at the regional and national para sports meetings. In the eyes of their coach, medals are certainly important, but what is more important is that the runners have learned to live independently through training and have maintained a positive attitude towards life.
