On September 12, Chinese Taipei powerlifter Lin Tzu-hui won the first medal at the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro for Taiwan. Lin lifted 131 kg in her final try and won a bronze medal in women's 79kg powerlifting. Lin said she will compete in the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, which will be her sixth Paralympic Games.
After winning bronze in women's 79kg powerlifting for her fifth Paralympic Games, Lin Tzu-Hui showed her medal, all smiles. Optimistic as she looks, Lin had a hard time facing her disability when she was little.
==LIN TZU-HUI, powerlifter==
When I saw others walking, I wasn't able to accept the fact that I couldn't walk. Later on, I told myself that my condition wouldn't be any worse than it is now.
Changing her mindset, Lin started to view things positively. Lin entered a whole new world.
==LIN TZU-HUI, powerlifter==
Attracting positive friends into my life has helped me a great deal. So far, I have met so many positive friends and benefactors that I believe I am a fortunate girl.
Lin began practicing powerlifting at the age of 17. She became a powerlifter 2 years afterwards. So far, she has participated in the Paralympic Games for 5 times, winning 2 gold medals and 2 bronze medals. Lin said she plans to retire after the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics .
==LIN TZU-HUI, powerlifter==
I will continue to practice powerlifting until the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics is over. I am now a graduate student. After graduation, I want to become a coach. Perhaps, being a coach and an athlete at the same time. I would like to become a full-time coach after the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.
Hoping to win another Paralympic medal, Lin will continue to practice powerlifting and participate in the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. She hopes that she can share her story to encourage more people to have faith in themselves.

坐在輪椅上,開心地展示獎牌,健力選手林資惠,是帕運五朝元老,只是很難想像,小時候的林資惠,一度無法接受坐輪椅的事實。
==健力選手 林資惠==
別人可以走 我卻走不了
可是到最後 我告訴我自己
反正我就是不能走了嘛
我不會再更壞了
心情的轉換,加上正面樂觀的態度,林資惠藉著出國比賽,用不同的角度,重新接觸這個世界。
==健力選手 林資惠==
吸引正面的朋友來幫助我
一路以來我也遇到了很多
正能量的朋友以及貴人們
所以我覺得 我現在目前為止
我還是個很幸運的女孩
林資惠從17歲開始練習健力,19歲成為選手,今年已經是第五度參加帕運,她曾經獲得兩面帕運金牌,也是上屆倫敦帕運銅牌得主,確定拿到里約帕運銅牌,總統府和行政院,第一時間就發出賀電道賀。
==健力選手 林資惠==
我應該會就是持續到
東京2020年完之後
我現在正在讀研究所
等研究所我畢業之後
我想要轉教練的身分
可能一方面也是兼教練
一方面也是選手的身分
這樣雙重身分 這樣進行訓練
2020年之後
再完全轉換成教練的身分
對於選手生涯還有夢,林資惠要再戰2020年的東京帕運,除了要累積20年帕運比賽資歷,也要將奮鬥的經驗,分享給更多身障朋友。
