Biography

edit

Yang was born in Guangdong, China. At three months old, Yang was diagnosed with polio from a vaccine complication which caused the muscles of his left leg to be atrophied. In 2012, he was introduced to para-badminton after his friends suggested him to compete in badminton instead of basketball.[5]
