Liu walks with an unsteady gait due to muscular atrophy in lower legs, she affectionately calls herself Waiwai, meaning ‘crooked’
A young woman with a disability in her legs in China has inspired many online with her unwavering positivity in life.
Liu Yumeng, a university graduate from central China’s Henan province, recently gained online attention when she tried on a skirt for the first time.
Suffering from a congenital spinal defect that led to muscular atrophy in her lower legs, Liu described her gait as unsteady, reminiscent of a penguin. This is also how she adopted the nickname Waiwai, which means “crooked”.
In April, she shared a video of herself experimenting with her roommate’s skirt. Liu revealed that she had never worn a skirt in front of others, fearing their judgment and feeling self-conscious about her legs.
