At the age of 9, Pu received a surgery for his leg, enabling him to walk normally. He was sad about his nickname, but he never gave up on his life or blamed anyone, he worked hard on everything to prove that he was as good as his peers. He said, "I can walk normally without walking stick after 9 years old. I wanted to leave the school as soon as possible so that none can ever call me 'Pu Cripple'. It was obvious hurts me. But the most important thing is I have to face myself, now I can run and play basketball just like others." [3] The reason he became an actor is because of his father. Pu' father (Su min, Chinese name: 苏民) was a famous actor in Beijing. Pu always followed his father to the theater for his performances.
