A video clip showing a one-arm Chinese teenager playing basketball aroused widespread attention on Chinese social media platforms. In the video clip, the young teen was playing with superb basketball skills, doing crossover and behind-the-back dribbling moves, which drew cheers and acclamation from the audience.
甚至有网友说，第一次看到视频的时候，都没反应过来少年只有一只手臂。
"I didn't even realize he had only one arm when I first watched the video," said one netizen.
这位少年叫张家城，今年13岁，是广东省云浮市云安区高村镇人。5岁时，因为一场意外他失去了右臂。

The one-arm 13-year-old is a country boy from Yunfu City, south China's Guangdong Province. His name is Zhang Jiacheng. At age five, he lost his right arm after an accident.
不过，他并没有一蹶不振，反而以乐观的态度面对生活给他的考验。后来，他与篮球结缘，从此开启了追求篮球梦的旅程。

张家城说：“我变开心了，也自信了，摸到了篮球就不想放下，拿起来有一种兴奋的感觉。”
在社交媒体上，经常能看到这位少年发布的日常训练视频。
Many video clips of him practicing at home or on the basketball court circulate on the social media.
在家中、在操场上、每个可以打球的地方，也都有他练习的身影。他的愿望则是以后能打上正式的比赛。
而在面对比自己高大强壮对手的严密防守时，他丝毫没有退缩，运球投篮充满自信。
Even playing against players far taller and stronger than him, he still plays with firm determination and shoots the ball while being defended.
他的老师也说，张家城训练刻苦，平时放学后他会自觉拿篮球单手运球，以及进行1对1练习。
“要么努力，要么放弃”，这句话成了他的座右铭。
"Keep up or give up" is his life motto.

张家城的篮球技术，以及他乐观坚韧的性格，也令职业篮球人赞叹。现中国男子篮球职业联赛广东宏远华南虎俱乐部的总经理、同时也是前国手的朱芳雨说道，从来没有看到过一个孩子技术这么好。同时，他还向张家城发出邀请，等联赛恢复后来观看球队比赛。
His basketball skills as well as his optimism and persistence received praises from China's professional basketball players. "I've never seen a child play basketball better than him," said former Chinese national basketball player Zhu Fangyu. Zhu, now the manager of the Guangdong Southern Tigers team, sent a warm invitation to Zhang to come watch the team play after the season resumes.
同为广东队国手的CBA总得分王易建联则在微博上转发了张家城视频，并且评价：心，永远都会是身体里最强壮的部位。
While his former teammate, CBA's all-time leading scorer Yi Jianlian, revealed similar thoughts after watching him play, saying: "The heart always remains as the strongest part of the body."
网友们则震惊于张家城的技术，同时被他的精神感动：
对于大家的祝福和鼓励，张家城的回答则简单又朴实：我会更加努力！
