Peng Huidi is a swimmer who is disabled in hearing. She took part in the Chengdu FISU World University Games in 2023. It has been a life-changing experience and a meaningful journey for the young student who has been going for her sporting dreams.
Peng was born in Shandong Province in 2004. Her hearing was damaged (损伤) because she had a high fever at the age of 2. It changed her life. For her disability, she was so shy that she was even afraid to speak to others. Hoping to make her brave and confident (自信的). Peng’s father took his daughter to the nearest swimming pool when she was six. It was there that Peng found her love for swimming and her talent was dug out by a coach.
Supported by her parents, Peng tried her best to take care of both swimming training and schoolwork, which was really a great challenge for her. She told a reporter that she once thought about stopping swimming. “But I just told myself, my future will be totally different from what I have dreamed of if I give up,” said Peng.
When things got too much to bear, her coach and parents just told her to have a break. So she took a vacation to have a relax. After that, she was even more dedicated to daily practice.
