Imagine pushing your limits for 5,800 kilometers—using just your hands. That’s exactly what Pan Yifei, Wang Feng, and their American friend Lao Tan did in 2017 during their three-month hand cycle odyssey across China. 🏔️ Their journey, dubbed 'Krankin’ thru China,' wasn’t just about endurance—it became a beacon of hope for people with spinal cord injuries worldwide.
Now, their story is hitting screens in the CGTN documentary 'Lao Tan and his Chinese Friends,' premiering July 21. 🎥 The film captures their grit, camaraderie, and mission to inspire others to reclaim confidence and freedom. 'It’s about showing that disability doesn’t define you,' said Pan, who lost his mobility in a car accident.
Since the journey, the trio’s message has sparked global conversations about accessibility and adventure. 🌍 From viral social media posts to community workshops, their legacy proves that resilience knows no bounds. Ready to be inspired? Mark your calendars! 📅
