Zheng Haiyang, a survivor who lost his legs in the 8.0-magnitude 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, has become a CEO of an online medical service platform.
Ten years ago, Zheng, then a 17-year-old student at Beichuan Middle School, was extricated 22 hours after he was trapped in the rubble of the school building in Beichuan County.
Beichuan was one of the worst-hit areas when the catastrophic earthquake struck Sichuan's Wenchuan County on May 12, 2008. Zheng was a survivor of the earthquake that left more than 80,000 people dead or missing.
Beichuan County has been rebuilt in a new location, and the experience of being helped after the quake has also shaped the life of Zheng.
Zheng now is the CEO of Jiaxiansheng, a Chengdu-based online medical service platform for disabled people. He devoted his efforts to assisting the disabled by offering information on rehabilitation hospitals and equipments.
