A young man rebuilt confidence and found his new life by challenging extreme sports after losing his legs in a traffic accident when he was six.

Shen Dacheng, 19, born in Jinzhou city, Central China's Hubei province, nicknamed himself "Pheonix" in hopes of living an active and positive life through body building programs, despite the fact that he doesn't have any legs.

"I had no confidence and didn't like talking with others," said Shen, who practices horizontal bars.
