Uygur man inspires nation by rescuing more than 60 people from accident scenes and carrying on
He injured himself rescuing lives from fire when young, lost his love but never his heart and desire to help those in need, and found his true love and an eventual award for his "one man's marathon".
The phrase became trendy online as many Chinese netizens used it to describe the life journey of 39-year-old Abliz Mamatniyaz - a disabled Uygur man who has saved more than 60 lives in the past 22 years - after Xinhua News Agency named him one of the top 10 ordinary citizens who inspired the nation in 2013.
