A DOUBLE amputee toddler, who shot to fame and won the hearts of the nation when he danced to a famous Chinese pop song, is learning to walk again after being fitted with his first pair of temporary prosthetics.

Four-year-old Xiaofeng had both his legs amputated, following a car accident two years ago in his hometown of Enshi, a city in central China’s Hubei Province. After multiple operations, he is now undergoing rehabilitation with prosthetics.

A double amputee toddler, who shot to fame and won the hearts of the nation when he danced to a famous Chinese pop song, is learning to walk again after being fitted with his first pair of temporary prosthetics. Brave Four-year-old Xiaofeng had both his legs amputated, following a car accident two years ago in his hometown of Enshi, a city in central China’s Hubei Province. After multiple operations, he is now undergoing rehabilitation with prosthetics. In March, Xiaofeng was transferred to the Disabled Rehabilitation Center in provincial capital Wuhan, where physicians have been preparing him to walk once more. Doctors said Xiaofeng, who cried when doctors fitted plaster on his legs to make a mould for his prosthetics, has been more at ease at the rehabilitation centre, as the crowded hospital where he had his operations often made him nervous and quiet. The boy who moved people across China when he danced to the famous Chopstick Brothers pop song "Little Apple", or "Xiaopingguo" in Chinese, is now required to stand for several hours a day as he slowly becomes accustomed to his prosthetic limbs. Doctors said Xiaofeng was already walking after three days while holding onto a railing, having been fitted with training prosthetics mid-April, but he sits down to rest when he feels pain in his legs. If all goes smoothly, physicians expect Xiaofeng to start wearing his personal pair of prosthetic limbs after the Labour Day holidays in the beginning of May, after which he will learn how to walk unassisted. That goal, however, is scheduled for the end of May, as for now he is still training his reflexes by kicking a light rubber ball. Following Xiaofeng’s performance of "Little Apple" on his hospital bed, a charity in his name collected over 52,000 GBP in just seven hours, helping to fund his rehabilitation treatment and clear his family
