Many netizens were moved by the figure of the takeaway boy who was physically disabled and strong but still running like the wind.
Suddenly, he became an Internet celebrity, and the media rushed to report on his deeds and published news articles one after another.
At the same time, people also discovered that more disabled delivery workers appeared on the Internet.
"I ordered a takeout today. When it was delivered, I opened the door and saw that the takeaway boy had two metal arms. I was stunned for a moment. At that time, I only had one question in my mind. Is Iron Man here to deliver my takeout?"
After the netizen finished speaking, he uploaded two pictures.
On the screen, a delivery boy wearing two metal bionic hands looked at the camera with a smile and made a heart sign with both hands.
"Haha, me too. But I met another Iron Man. I live on the 7th floor. The elevator is broken and has not been repaired. I am used to waiting, but today the takeout was delivered very quickly. When I opened the door, I saw The delivery boy had two prosthetic legs, and I was shocked at the time.”
"The delivery boy said that this prosthetic leg is very good. He can climb stairs very fast and won't fall down when going downstairs. He also demonstrated to me a reversal run on the spot. There is a video with the truth."
This netizen uploaded a video of a guy wearing yellow delivery clothes, with silver-gray prosthetics on both calves.
But this is not the common prosthetic leg made of a steel rod, but a pair of full and slender calves. Ignoring the color of the metal, the lines of the entire leg are very smooth, and they look inexplicably harmonious.
The young man smiled and waved in front of the camera, looking very happy. Then he turned around, sprinted forward, and ran seven or eight meters away in the corridor. At the end, he stopped suddenly, turned around, and ran back quickly.
And those two metal prosthetic legs crossed and moved forward quickly at an incredible speed, running out like a black whirlwind.
Every sudden stop and turn was so natural and smooth, without any feeling of lag, as if those two legs naturally grew on my body.
Seeing such a picture, the netizens in front of the screen took a breath of air-conditioning.
"Awesome! I seemed to see a gust of wind."
"Oh my god, am I dazzled? I actually saw an afterimage."
"You should check for presbyopia upstairs. This guy is very fast, but not that fast."
"Even this is very impressive. It should be the limit of running for ordinary people, but this is actually done by a disabled person."
"My physical fitness is very good, but what's even better is the two prosthetic legs, which are much better than ordinary prostheses."
"Yes, my uncle is a disabled person. He is missing a leg. After wearing the prosthesis, it is very difficult to go up and down the stairs. Especially when going down the stairs, he has to walk sideways step by step. It is definitely not so natural."
"It looks like a foreign bionic prosthetic leg, but that thing is very valuable. Two legs would cost at least one apartment in a third-tier city. How can a delivery boy afford it?"
"I won't come here to deliver food if I can afford it. Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home? It must be sponsored. I seriously suspect that this video is a soft advertisement for a prosthetic company."
"Is your brain broken upstairs? Do you know how poor the disabled are? They can't find a job at all, and they can hardly live anymore. How can you still have money to buy hundreds of thousands of prosthetics? Companies are losing money and making money, right?"
"Yes, if you want to sponsor, you should also look for athletes from the Paralympic Games. Delivery workers are all low-level workers, so the target group is wrong. Isn't it crazy to advertise with them?"
"Perhaps it is to show the adaptability of prosthetic limbs in complex urban environments."
"No matter how complex the urban environment is, rich people who can afford hundreds of thousands of prosthetics will not experience it."
"Fart, after spending so much money, I naturally want the strongest performance. I don't have to experience it, but you can't live without it."
After netizens posted the video, they saw the quarrel in the comments and quickly posted another video to explain.
"Family members, I didn't make it clear just now. In fact, this delivery boy participated in the company's trial and was able to experience such a high-tech bionic leg for free."
"As for this company, I also asked about it. It is the famous Sanqing Group."
"Last year, Sanqing launched a brain-computer interface product, which became very popular in the e-sports circle and benefited many high-level paraplegic patients. It shows that Sanqing has strong technical strength. Now it has further developed bionic prosthetics, which is really normal."
"If you have any questions, you can ask Sanqing for confirmation. Please don't leave ginseng cock in the comment area. Thank you!"
As soon as these words came out, netizens instantly became excited.
"Sanqing, it is indeed Sanqing. Why am I not surprised at all?"
"Some people say that only foreign countries can have bionic legs with this technology. Now you are dumbfounded, xswl."
"When you say it's Sanqing, it makes sense."
“If we must find a company that can develop bionic prosthetics, it is undoubtedly Sanqing.”
"After watching the video, I feel a little envious for no reason. My real legs can't run so fast."
"I just want to ask, has Sanqing ever considered producing a prosthetic limb for normal people?"
"Upstairs, is this prosthetic leg you're talking about serious?"
"And there are some unreasonable prosthetics? I'm sorry upstairs."
"What's serious or not? The person upstairs is probably a shemale who wants to have fun and needs an indescribable prosthetic leg."
"Damn, you guys are still having fun. Why don't I have such a rich imagination?"
"I often felt out of place because I wasn't perverted enough."
As netizens talked, the painting style changed suddenly and skewed in a strange direction.
But there are also normal netizens, most of whom have disabled people at home. After learning the news, they immediately called Sanqing’s customer service number and asked about the prosthetic limbs.
Not long after, Sanqing officials officially announced the news of bionic limbs online, and even disclosed the price.
A bionic hand with a neural machine interface costs RMB 60,000 to RMB 100,000, depending on the missing limb.
Bionic legs with the same functions cost RMB 30,000 to RMB 60,000 for basic models, and there are also advanced models. For additional money, you can customize a variety of functions in depth.
Payment can be made in installments, ranging from 3 to 5 years, up to ten years.
At the same time, a test video was also released, fully demonstrating the various functions of the bionic prosthetic limb.
Wearing prosthetic limbs, disabled people can go up and down mountains and rivers, climb mountains and rocks, run, long jump, swim and surf. They are almost indistinguishable from normal human bodies.
Netizens were dazzled after watching this video, and their hearts of yearning arose spontaneously.
Some imaginative netizens have begun to discuss whether some magical functions can be added to prosthetics.
"It's so cool. If I wear Sanqing's bionic hand, I will definitely install a light, a built-in electronic watch, and a charging function to wirelessly charge my mobile phone."
"Your imagination only goes so far. If it were me, I would equip the bionic arm with a small drone. Imagine that when you stretch your hand, a cover on the arm slowly opens, and then a drone flies. When it comes out, this scene is quite exciting."
"Why don't you say add a rocket launcher to your arm?"
"Isn't this nonsense? I have to carry it abroad. I can't even imagine how many weapons a bionic hand and a bionic leg can carry."
"Have you ever thought about it, if this is the case, the weight will be overwhelming, and will you still be able to walk?"
"I estimated that the drone plus the pistol and bullets, plus the weight of the arm itself, would be at least 5 kilograms. If it weren't for Schwarzenegger, you might as well give up on this idea."
"Damn it, I don't believe that I'm 1.8 meters tall and have a body full of tendons, but I can't even carry a 10-pound bionic hand."
"I'm different from you. I just want to modify it and make an Iron Man-themed prosthetic limb. The function may or may not be strong, but it must not be cool."
"I thought it would be more practical. I could put my phone in it, so I no longer have to worry about losing it, and I don't have to take it out of my trouser pocket. I can just put it in when I'm working, and take it out when I want to use it."
"This is possible. You can put the screen on the back of your hand and the camera on your finger. The arm can also be made into a retractable mode and used as a selfie stick, and then the other hand can be operated. It will definitely be very convenient."
"The idea is great. Maybe you can ask Sanqing to authorize you to modify your arms. It might be a way to make money."
"Although amputation is an extremely painful thing, adding high-tech elements seems to make the wearer's life easier. Perhaps this is the ultimate meaning of technological development."
"It also has something to do with the current social climate. People are becoming more and more tolerant of some personal things. This may be because we are lucky to live in this era."

Sioux City, Disabled Persons' Federation Rehabilitation Center.
A prosthetic fitting event for disabled people with the theme of "Love is No Barrier" is being held here.
The event hall is very spacious, nearly two hundred square meters.
On the other side of the window is a place where disabled people practice walking and undergo rehabilitation training.
On the green track, a disabled man with a skeletal prosthetic leg was holding on to the stainless steel railings on both sides, trying to walk with difficulty.
A staff member stood next to him, patiently guiding the disabled person’s movements and gait.
The whole picture is joyful and harmonious.
At the other end is a small conference room. Fifty or sixty disabled people are sitting in wheelchairs or on plastic chairs. They all hold their breath and listen intently to the people on the stage.
Liang Kai is the person in charge of this activity of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation. He stood on the podium and introduced the content of the activity impassionedly.
"The main reason I have gathered everyone together this time is to tell everyone good news."
“The Municipal Disabled Persons’ Federation has reached a cooperation with Sanqing, which will provide the disabled with new smart bionic prostheses.”
"As we all know, Sanqing Group is a leading company in the medical industry with strong capabilities. It not only has bionic legs but also bionic hands, which can help every disabled person in need stand up, move, better integrate into society, and improve their lives."
As soon as he finished speaking, a video of the test of Sanqing's prosthetics began to play on the screen.
It instantly caused a sensation in the audience.
The disabled people showed shocked expressions on their faces, and began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
"So powerful?"
"Looks like it works great!"
"Then I can stand up and find a job?"
"Such a good thing must be very expensive."
"Yeah, it looks very expensive, so it shouldn't be free."
“I feel like I can’t afford it.”
Amid everyone's discussion, Liang Kai said with a smile.
"Everyone, I know you must have many questions in your mind. Please let me answer your questions one by one."
"The main purpose of this video is to let everyone know about the functions of the new prosthetic limb. Seeing is believing. Only when you see the existence of this thing can you believe us."
"As for the price issue that everyone is most concerned about, since we can come up with it, the price is definitely not an issue. There is definitely a proper solution to solve your difficulties."
"Everyone knows that the Disabled Persons' Federation used to provide ordinary prostheses. Although they can solve everyone's walking problems, they are just usable, not comfortable enough, and not very functional. Not to mention running, even going up and down stairs is a bit difficult. .”
"There is no way. In the past, the level of domestic enterprises was only at this level, but fortunately it is cost-effective and can meet basic needs."
"As long as 4,000 yuan is needed, everyone can walk. What more can be asked for, so the Disabled Persons' Federation has been providing this prosthesis to everyone for free."
"But everything is different now."
"With Sanqing's prosthetic limbs, not only can you walk on flat ground, but you can also run like a gust of wind. As for climbing up and down stairs, that's trivial."
“The only problem is that this kind of product is new to the market, so the price won’t be that cheap.”
"Frankly speaking, it is even a little expensive, but it can greatly improve your lives. I can only say that you get what you pay for."
Liang Kai paused, and slowly said the price in the eyes of everyone looking expectantly.
"In terms of price, they all exceed five figures, with bionic legs starting at 30,000 and bionic hands starting at 60,000."
"What do you think of the price? Is it expensive?"
After he said this, he originally thought that everyone would think it was expensive, and then criticize the manufacturer and complain to him.
In this way, when he comes up with a proper solution next time, everyone will be pleasantly surprised, and it will feel like pie-in-the-sky, which will naturally lead to a surge of goodwill towards the Disabled Persons' Federation.
Unexpectedly, the disabled people in the audience shook their heads and expressed the opposite opinion.
“Not expensive, the price is well worth it.”
"Something with such good functions must not be sold too cheaply and the manufacturer cannot lose money."
"Sanqing is a conscientious manufacturer. I don't think they can make much money at this price."
"Yeah, the price is not its problem, it's my problem."
"It's a pity that I can't find a job, otherwise I would have to work part-time to earn back the money for the prosthetic limbs."
"It would be great if I had hands. Then I could put on a cheap prosthetic leg first, work hard to make money first, and then replace it with this prosthetic leg."
Liang Kai smiled mockingly. It seemed that the people's eyes were sharp and they all understood the value of Sanqing prosthetic limbs.
But my own thoughts are a bit too taken for granted.
At this moment, he no longer kept secrets and directly revealed the plan.
"Considering that the economic conditions of disabled people are relatively difficult, Sanqing and the Disabled Persons' Federation have reached a cooperation and arranged installment payments for ten years. In this way, you only need to pay a few thousand yuan a year to use bionic prostheses in advance."
"As for the first year's expenses, if they are less than 5,000 yuan, the Disabled Persons' Federation will provide subsidies and be paid directly. If it is more than 5,000 yuan, the Disabled Persons' Federation can also pay half of the expenses, which is half a year's expenses."
"In addition, after installing prosthetic limbs, the Disabled Persons' Federation will also recommend jobs so that everyone can find a job as soon as possible and make money to support their family."
"In this way, everyone can use the bionic prosthetic limbs for free for at least half a year. As long as they find a job during this six months, they will definitely make money, and subsequent expenses will no longer be a problem."
As soon as this plan was announced, the audience burst into thunderous cheers.
"That's great, thank you to the country, thank you to the Disabled Persons' Federation, and thank you to Sanqing."
"With half a year to spare, I will definitely be able to find a job and earn money for prosthetics."
"This plan is very ideal and gives us enough buffer time."
"Yes, it is difficult to come up with tens of thousands of dollars at once, but if it is paid over ten years and only costs a few thousand dollars per year, then everyone can come up with it."
"And if you have a job, you can easily earn back the money."
"With bionic prosthetics, we can find jobs. We can't find jobs with high salaries. There is still a high possibility that we can earn two to three thousand yuan a month."
"This prosthetic limb is very functional. It is not only a daily necessities, but also a tool to make money. My son bought a car and runs Didi. This prosthetic limb is just like the car, and the price is about the same, tens of thousands of yuan."
"Yes, with the bionic hand, I can be a normal person."
Everyone was excited, some even choked up on the spot, and hot tears flowed from the corners of their eyes involuntarily.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Liang Kai also smiled happily.
For the first time, he felt that his work was so meaningful.
