Wang Rui (born 29 August 1993)[1] is a Chinese former para table tennis player who competed at international table tennis competitions. She is a Paralympic champion, World champion, three-time Asian Para Games champion and four-time Asian champion in both singles and teams events.[2]

In May 2008, Wang was in school studying for her exams. The building shook violently and Wang couldn't react in time as the building collapsed, she was knocked unconscious on the impact of a wall fallen on top of her. Once she regained consciousness, she saw that she was underneath rubble and her right leg was severely injured by the heavy materials. After ten hours of being stuck under the rubble, she was eventually rescued. Once she was retrieved by the volunteers who rescued her, she heard that there had been a major earthquake and Wang was fortunate to survive despite her serious lower body injuries which led to her right leg being amputated.[3]
