On Liao's first day at his new school, the PE assistant was especially helpful. When they sat together at lunch he encouraged Liao to join some student societies and sports teams. Liao was almost motivated (鼓励) to sign up for the school's basketball team as the school's basketball court looked so inviting.
Unfortunately, he felt very uncomfortable with his stump (腿残留部分) the next day. Doctors have since warned him that his artificial leg needs to be improved. They have told him his return to school must wait, something he hated hearing. "The course of true love never did run smooth (顺利的)," his doctor jokingly comforted him.
The earthquake has made Liao aware of how tough he is, so he is not afraid to suffer more pain. However, he is increasingly worried that he is falling behind in his studies.
"I must work harder to make up for my long absence from school once I get used to my new 'leg'," Liao said.
