(220906) -- CHENGDU, Sept. 6, 2022 (Xinhua) -- He Peng checks his wheelchair ahead of his trip to Tibet Autonomous Region, in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, on July 16, 2022. Born in Mianyang, southwest China's Sichuan Province, He Peng, 38, suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident in 2005, leaving him paraplegic from the neck down. Over the years, he has managed to accomplish a series of rehabilitation training. The first challenge for spinal cord injury patients is to recover their ability to take care of themselves, He Peng said. It took him 5 years from lying in bed to being able to raise his hands and sit up to move. Since then, he started to try out the possibilities by getting a driver's license, traveling, and practicing extreme sports. In 2019, He Peng founded a rehabilitation training camp to help more people with spinal cord injuries receive training and encourage them to go out. In 2021, He and 5 fellow "wheel-mates" drove to Lhasa along the Sichuan-Tibet highway and
