Zhou Zhaoqian comes from China. After winning the Women's Wheelchair(轮椅) Race 1,500m-T54 at the 4th Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, she said it was her best birthday present.
Zhou was born in Hebei Province in 1997. She lived a happy life with her family. But she lost her right leg because of a car accident at the age of 5. It made her feel sad. She didn't want to leave her bedroom or meet others for a long time. However, her family always gave her aid. They taught her to use the wheelchair and asked her to make new friends. Finally, Zhou became active. She didn't give up her study. She even went to college to study computer skills.
In 2012, Zhou began to work as a sportswoman. However, after four years of hard training, she failed to take part in the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games. Later, she changed her skills and trained even harder. She successfully returned to the top ranks(排位) in China in 2017. From then on, Zhou started to do well in almost all competitions.
Zhou already had a chance to take part in the Paris Paralympic Games. "I improve my skills by taking part in more competitions," she said. "In this way, I can do better and better."
