励志“篮球女孩”的奥运之路

2007年，钱红艳另一个大事件发生了。在社会捐助的帮助下，钱红艳能够上学，并完成小学学业。然而，根据新华资讯的报道，钱红艳当时的情况是家里没有足够的钱让自己在11岁之后继续学业。

While most people would be disheartened by the dashed hope of a future, Qian Hongyan set out to create her own destiny.

当大部分人都在为她未来破灭的希望而感到伤心难过的时候，钱红艳决定要自己改变自己的命运。

She returned to Yunnan where she was encouraged to join South of the Cloud, a local swim team for people with disability and one of the first of its kind in China. Qian Hongyan's high amputation made swimming particularly difficult.She revealed in an interview with China Daily: 'It seemed there was no way I could float in the water. I always choked.'But she really put her heart into the sport.

她回到云南，在家人和朋友的鼓励下参加了“云之南”游泳队——一个中国首例为身患残疾人士创建的地方性游泳队伍。钱红艳因高度截肢使得游泳变得异常困难。她在《中国日报》的采访中说道：“好像我根本不可能浮在水面上，经常被呛水。”但是她真的很用心地投入到这项运动中。

Within a few years, she was winning gold medals at national competitions and had dreams of representing China in the Paralympics in London 2017. In 2009, Qian made headlines again by winning one gold medal and two silver medals in the Chinese National Paralympics Swimming Competition.
