"Lai Chi Wai () is a rock climber, sport climber, and motivational speaker from Hong Kong. He is a four-time champion of the Asian Rock Climbing Championships and the world’s first Chinese winner of the X-Game’s extreme sports. In 2011, he got into a serious traffic accident that left him paraplegic. On December 9, 2016, upon the 5th anniversary of the car accident, Lai climbed up Lion Rock in a wheelchair, and became the first Chinese athlete to be nominated for the Laureus World’s Best Sporting Moment of the month, which he lost to a viral video which showed a packed sports stadium of 70,000 people in Iowa turning and waving to children in an adjacent hospital. Netizens, touched by Lai’s achievement, said he embodied the “spirit of Lion Rock”, which has come to symbolize Hong Kong’s can-do spirit in the midst of adversities. He is married and has a son.

"Landing Zone Peanuts is a former U.S. Army base in northwest Quảng Trị Province, Vietnam. History The base was located approximately 5 km southwest of Khe Sanh Combat Base and 4 km north of Lang Vei. It was originally established by the 1st Cavalry Division during Operation Pegasus, the relief of Khe Sanh. Companies A and B, 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment and Company A, 1st Battalion, 77th Artillery Regiment were located at the base in early May 1968. On 4 May the base came under 120mm mortar and 122mm rocket fire. At approximately 16:30 3 122mm rockets impacted among approximately 2000 rounds of 105m ammunition that had been delivered just prior to the attack. The resultant fire and explosions, coupled with a direct hit on a 105mm gun section rendered 1 gun inoperational while the other two guns continued to function despite ammunition Cooking off. In the early morning of 5 May 1968 the base again received incoming 120mm mortar rounds and B-40 rockets followed by a sapper attack. The attack was repelled with thirty-two People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) soldiers killed inside the defensive wire. Due to its losses in both equipment and personnel, later on 5 May Company A 1/77th was extracted and repositioned at LZ Jane. Eleven US soldiers were killed in the 5 May attack.
