A 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy smiled through a sports day race with her mother's support in southern China.

The heartwarming video was filmed Chongqing on March 25.

At the Spring Sports Day of Fuyao Experimental School in Wansheng Economic Development Zone, a girl named Li Wenya, accompanied by her mother and cheered on by classmates, smiled as she completed the 40-metre run.

Li, who suffers from cerebral palsy, usually relies on assistive devices to walk. This time, the little girl decided to challenge herself, casting aside her walking aid, solely to fulfill her dream of running.

Principal Liu Ke of Fuyao Experimental School in Wansheng Economic Development Zone explained: "The 40-metre track is divided into two sections. In the first section, she used an assistive device to run, and in the second section, she abandoned it and relied on herself. When she reached the finish line, everyone cheered with excitement.

"The purpose of this is to serve as encouragement, hoping that all teachers and students in the school can be fearless and optimistic like little Ya, possessing the spirit of self-challenge."

3月25日，重庆。在万盛经开区福耀实验学校的春季运动会上，10岁女孩李文雅在妈妈的陪伴下，伴随着全校同学的加油鼓励，微笑跑完40米全程。李文雅因患脑瘫，平时需要靠辅助器来行走。这次小姑娘决定挑战自己，扔掉辅助器，只为圆自己一个奔跑的梦想。
万盛经开区福耀实验学校校长刘科介绍：“40米的赛道，分成两段，第一段她借助辅助器跑，第二段让她甩开辅助器靠自己，到达终点时，大家都激动地欢呼起来。”“这样的目的就是起到鼓励的作用，希望全校师生都能像小雅一样，无畏无惧，拥有乐观向上、自我挑战的精神。”
