In 2019, Wang developed an interest in skating. 

"Even normal people might find it difficult to skate, and my friends tried to talk me out of it," Wang said. 

"But I learned to skate in about two weeks. I used to take medicine because of high blood pressure, but since beginning to skate I don't need the pills anymore." 

The process hasn't been easy. Wang fell over many times while learning to skate, and his legs often hurt where the prosthetic attaches. But mastering skating makes Wang feel happy and fulfilled. 

"I hope one day I can also attend a skating competition," Wang said.
