The highlight of this seminar is that the organizer invited two extraordinary motivational ambassadors, who are also the care and help objects and partners of the ShensI charity football for the disabled, to be the focal point of the event. One is Mr. Zeng Zhaoheng, director of Municipal Deaf Association and vice chairman of Baoan District Deaf Association. He said that he was very happy to be invited to the event and asked the host to tell his life story and his relationship with football and the Shenzhen Lions Club. Seven months after he was born, he became completely deaf and mute due to illness. He learned how to read mouth movements and pronunciation through his own efforts, and then successfully enrolled in ordinary primary and middle schools and graduated successfully. Later, he became a teacher in Maoming Gospel Special Education School in his hometown. After moving to Shenzhen, China in 2018, he joined the Shenzhen Deaf Association of China and continued to make contributions to the cause of the deaf. Because of his special interest in football, he joined the Shenzhen Deaf Football Team and founded the first deaf fan club in Shenzhen, China. He often organized deaf people to go to the home stadium in Shenzhen, China to watch football and cheer for the team. Media outlets such as China’s Shenzhen Football Club and China’s Shenzhen Evening News have reported on his inspirational story. He especially thanked the Shenzhen Lions Club of China and the Shenzhen Lions Football Team for their long-term support and care for deaf people. In particular, the “Dream of a Happy World and a Ball to Be Found”, a 10-stage football training camp for disabled children, children with disabilities and Little Lions, was held last year to provide free professional football training for deaf children, which deeply touched deaf people. Another excellent representative of the disabled is He Yiyi, who is known by the public as the “miracle boy” and the “king of one-legged ball”. He came to the meeting specially from Guangzhou and took to the stage with his crutches to share his inspirational story for everyone, which made everyone SOB and sigh: Born in Shanwei, Guangdong Province, He Yiyi is 26 years old. He has loved football since he was a child and has a high talent for football. In 2006, he was selected to the Shenzhen Football Club team at the age of 10. On the eve of leaving the country, he was diagnosed with a malignant osteosarcoma in his left leg. A year later, he was forced to have his leg amputated. However, the strong He Yiyi did not give in to the fate. With his love for football and perseverance, he finally created a magic after hard training: in 2009, he returned to the football field with his crutches, ran like a fly with one leg and played with able-bodied people, and often scored wonderful goals. He has used 56 pairs of crutches in 13 years. He Yiyi not only realized his dream in football, but also was selected to the Guangdong Provincial Paralympic Federation Athletics Team in 2012 with excellent athletic talent and ability. His inspiration and achievements have moved the society and been covered by various media, and he has now become a motivational Internet celebrity with 3 million followers. He Yiyi expressed his sincere gratitude to the Shenzhen Lions Club for their care and support over the years. In 2017, the English Premier League club West Ham United invited him to visit their home stadium in London. It was the Shenzhen Lions Club that sponsored the trip to help him realize his dream. In 2019, he was hired as the inspirational love ambassador of “Lions Love Sunshine and Dream Green”, a large-scale public welfare football aid program of Shenzhen Lions Club, China. In April 2021, he was invited to play the opening performance in the 2021 “Stop at the Best” New Year Charity Gala of Shenzhen Lions Club of China, and was cared by Dong Xiu, Secretary of the Party Committee and director General of Shenzhen Disabled Persons Federation of China; This year, he signed a contract with the sports team of the Shenzhen Municipal Paralympic Federation of China to officially become a disabled athlete and will represent Shenzhen in the long jump and other events of the Provincial Paralympic Games in Qingyuan in November. He said he would strive with a grateful heart to win MEDALS and honors for Shenzhen, China. Finally, he ended his story sharing with a motto that he is living out in life: “Fate has kissed me with pain, but I have answered it with song!”

The participants were moved by President Dai Tongxin and his wife who still care about public welfare and spare no effort to practice the “Four Out” spirit even in their 80s. They thanked them for their guidance with the warmest applause.
