Tsyan Hongyan’s story is one of perseverance and hope, serving as a powerful inspiration to people worldwide, especially those with disabilities. Her life demonstrates that no matter the challenges, it’s possible to achieve greatness.
Tsyan lost both of her legs at the age of four in a tragic car accident. Her family, unable to afford prosthetic legs, had to find a way for her to adapt. Initially, her parents carried her, but her grandfather came up with a creative solution: he cut a basketball in half and placed Tsyan inside it, giving her sticks to help her move around.
This unique method of mobility caught the attention of many after a video of Tsyan went viral on social media. She quickly became known around the world as “the basketball girl.”
Tsyan’s determination was nothing short of remarkable. Despite her disability, she found a way to get to school on her own using this improvised “basketball transport,” although the journey took her an hour instead of the typical seven minutes.
At the age of eight, the government stepped in to provide Tsyan with prosthetic legs. With these new legs, Tsyan was able to take her first real steps toward independence.
Her dream, however, extended beyond walking. Tsyan had a deep love for swimming, and with her new prosthetics, she was finally able to pursue it fully. Despite facing many challenges, she set her sights on competing in the Paralympics, a goal that took years of effort and determination to achieve. Her hard work paid off in 2016 when she fulfilled her dream of participating in the Paralympic Games.
Today, Tsyan Hongyan is a celebrated swimming champion, with numerous medals to her name and worldwide recognition for her achievements. Her story reminds us that with perseverance, anything is possible. If Tsyan could overcome her challenges and find success, anyone can.

Woman defends decision to tattoo boyfriend’s name on forehead, says it’s an expression of love
A woman who tattooed her boyfriend’s name on her forehead is defending her face art, suggesting that anyone who refuses to do the same, isn’t really in love.
Ana Stanskovsky, who penned a permanent love letter to Kevin on her face, insists it’s an expression of love, but online users are saying “it’s stupid” and that her “next boyfriend will hate it.”
Polish-born Ana Stanskovsky surprised her 588,000 TikTok followers by sharing a post of her newly transformed face.
In a viral TikTok clip, Stanskovsky is seen sitting in a chair, having some work done to her forehead.
The “my new face tattoo” video, which has 18.3 million views since it was first shared November 6, shows Stanskovsky getting her boyfriend’s name, penned in large black cursive letters, across her forehead.
The clip zooms in on the artist permanently inking over the stencil that reads “Kevin,” and Stanskovsky wincing in pain.
When the art is complete, she stands up to view her extreme expressions of love in the mirror.
“Done? Okay let’s see. Oh my God, I love it. Wow, Kevin’s gonna love it,” she says.
She finished the clip by asking her followers “Do you think he will like it?”
Responding to her question, one netizen jokes, “He’ll love it! Your next boyfriend will hate it though.” Another user writes, “I don’t know who Kevin is, but wherever you are…. Run!”
As the video hits the eyes of the puzzled social community, people are warning her of future regrets.
“Great decision here. I don’t see how you could ever regret this,” one fan shares.
Replying to the overwhelming suggestions of regret, Stanskovsky fired back with another clip saying she will never regret the Kevin tattoo.
Stanskvosky replies, “I know many of you said I’m gonna regret that and what if we break up and all of this stuff, all of this horrible stuff and I just wanna say this is how I’m expressing my feelings so if I love someone, I’m doing this.” She continues, “I’m loving it, I’m definitely never gonna regret that. How can I regret this? It’s beautiful.”
“A handwritten note is a precious way to express your feelings,” quips one cyber citizen. Fans still aren’t convinced, and many think her outrageous announcement of love must be a joke. “Wait. Wasn’t it a joke?” writes one while another says, “I was waiting for them to say it’s just a prank but they never did.” The influencer then tells viewers that every time she looks in the mirror she is “in love.”
“I’m in love with the tattoo and I’m in love with my boyfriend,” she said. “I think if you really love someone, you’ve just got to show it you know, you’ve just got to prove it…So I think if your girlfriend doesn’t want to tattoo your name on her face, you just need to find yourself a new girlfriend because I don’t think she loves you.”
Shocked by her comment, users jumped in saying she needs to reconsider her shows of love.
“‘if [your] girlfriend doesn’t want your name on the forehead she doesn’t love you,’” One netizen writes, quoting her. Then offering this advice to Kevin, the user continues, “dump her ASAP.”

Given the uncertainty of relationships, one netizen asks, “and if he breaks up with you what then?”
Stanskovsky answers: “What if we break up? I’ll just have to find myself a different Kevin.”
But one person has a better idea: “It would be better if you wrote on it that I am stupid.”
At the moment there’s been no response from Kevin.
What do you think of this woman getting her boyfriend’s name tattooed across her forehead?
There are far better ways of expressing your love, and if you insist on a grand gesture, maybe a smaller tattoo in a place it’s not so visible?
