Du Huabin, who lives in Duzhuang Village, Wadian Township, Anyang, Henan Province, can't take care of himself because of brain damage caused by cerebral infarction. After a period of rehabilitation training, Du Huabin's physical function and daily life ability have been significantly improved. He can not only walk independently, but also walk up and down stairs.
