有梦就去追——13岁独臂少年的篮球梦
有梦就去追——13岁独臂少年的篮球梦

A video, which shows a one-arm Chinese teenager is playing basketball, is very popular recently. 
"I didn't even realize he had only one arm when I first watched the video," said one netizen. The thirteen-year-old teenager is Zhang Jiacheng. He is from Yunfu City, Guangdong Province. He lost his right arm because of an accident, but he didn’t give up his basketball dream. He practised playing basketball wherever he was, at home or on the playground. Zhang said he began to practice playing basketball from 2018. He couldn’t dribble and shoot at the beginning, but now he doesn’t want to put it down when he takes the basketball. He is very excited whenever he feels it. Even if playing against players far taller and stronger than him, he still plays with firm determination and shoots the ball while being defended.
National Basketball Association(NBA) star Stephen Curry said that he wants to find the one-armed Chinese boy. "Who is this kid? Help me find him! Keep doing you and don't let anyone tell you that you can't," the Golden State Warriors player wrote to his 4.5 million followers on China's Weibo.
