In 2016, after graduating from the University of Bristol, Sun Chenlu chose to return to Beijing, China to work.
In early 2017, she was involved in a car accident on the highway to the airport.
When she opened her eyes from the hospital bed, Sun Chenlu found herself paraplegic.
She survived countless days and nights of tears, and she was strong and gradually calmed down and accepted the reality.
"In the second year of the injury, my physical condition has improved a lot, and I was thinking about how to make money to reduce the burden." Sun Chenlu told a reporter from Chinanews.com that this was her first step in taking the challenge of taking care of herself.
Combining her unique understanding of beauty, Sun Chenlu began to "walk out" of the small room and shared her outfits and makeup on the Internet, which gradually attracted the attention of netizens.

Due to the limited mobility, Sun Chenlu cannot guarantee the update speed like a normal blogger.
At the interview site, she showed the reporter the process of recording the video: with the help of her parents, lights, mobile phone holders and cosmetic tools were neatly placed on the dressing table.
Due to the lack of strength in both hands, Sun Chenlu unscrewed all kinds of cosmetic boxes with her hands and mouth. Everything was ready, she turned on her mobile phone, and started recording videos with her fingers holding the cosmetic tools.
"It will take a few minutes just to unscrew the cosmetic box, and sometimes things will fall if you can't hold it." Sun Chenlu told a reporter from Chinanews.com that this part is often the time when she is most affected, crying, manic, and hating. Emotions keep coming.
But when she sees the encouragement of netizens, she will grit her teeth and insist, trying to show her best state.

In 2019, Sun Chenlu, who participated in the spinal cord injury rehabilitation camp, was deeply attracted by the scene of "Friends" playing table tennis.
Since then, Sun Chenlu began to try to play table tennis for rehabilitation training.
During the period, a coach from Chongqing was very moved after seeing the training video of Sun Chenlu and gave her professional training guidance.
Due to the weakness of both hands, in order to "hold" the racket steadily, Sun Chenlu used bandages to wrap the racket tightly around her hands to practice.
During training, Sun Chenlu had to untie her racket for at most half an hour to prevent her hands from losing consciousness due to poor blood circulation.
But even so, her hands were often strangled so that she could not feel them.

In order to catch the ball from the opponent, Sun Chenlu often hit the ping pong table with her wrist and elbow as soon as she raised her arm.
"Because it's too late to hurt, you have to hit the ball back." Sun Chenlu said, training so hard that she "knocked out" many scars and bruises on her body.

In order to have more physical strength for table tennis training, Sun Chenlu insists on swimming every week.
In the swimming pool, Sun Chenlu's legs were tied with elastic bands, and her father carefully carried her into the pool.
Although her legs couldn't move, Sun Chenlu still used her elbows to force herself to swim smoothly with her previous swimming experience.
With a little change in himself, Sun Chenlu made up his mind: "Play table tennis and try to play in the national competition."
With the help of the coach, she was recommended to participate in the 11th China Paralympic Games and the 8th Special Olympic Games.
Facing the hard-won opportunity, Sun Chenlu was cruel to herself and began to increase the training intensity.
"The sweat was dripping into my eyes, and my hands were inconvenient, so I couldn't wipe them, so I kept training." Sun Chenlu said that during the time she increased her training, she seemed to be battered, and she was determined in her heart, "I want to Redefine yourself" belief.

In October 2021, at the China National Paralympic Games, Sun Chenlu and his teammates cooperated tacitly and won the gold medals in the women's first-level double and team table tennis events.
Sun Chenlu wrote a sentence on the social platform after the game: Only by challenging can you achieve yourself.
In the face of consultation from netizens and patients, Sun Chenlu constantly recorded videos to motivate everyone based on her own situation.
In Sun Chenlu's video, there is no empty talk and slogan-style cheering, but more of her truest thoughts in the face of illness.
Sun Chenlu said: "Sometimes no amount of chicken soup for the soul can beat the momentary relief."
"Just do what you like to do." Although she is in a wheelchair, Sun Chenlu still maintains her love for life.
She will go to the cherry blossom garden to enjoy the flowers, go to meet netizens all over China, and take pictures at the beach... "Life is so beautiful, what is the pain of illness!!!"
After a period of cloudy and rainy days, Guiyang has recently ushered in a sunny and sunny day.
Taking advantage of the good weather, Sun Chenlu began to organize the skirts in the wardrobe with her parents, preparing for the video shooting plan in March - "Exploring Spring".
For Sun Chenlu, this is work and life.
