The
“Fantastic People” video series provides resource materials for primary
teachers to introduce the suggested module “We Love Hong Kong” and the theme
“Special People” in the ELE KLA.
In this episode, Ms Yu Chui Yee Alison, an outstanding athlete with
physical disabilities, talked about her childhood experience of facing bone
cancer, and shared her insights on facing challenges with an optimistic mind
and being grateful to the people who supported her. Alison had an amputation
of her left leg when she was only eleven. Nevertheless, she faced all the
challenges positively, and with determination and perspiration, she won 11
medals in the Paralympic Games as a wheelchair fencer.
