Cheng Yu (Chinese: 程瑜; pinyin: Chéng Yú, born c. 1952[1]) is a Chinese retired para table tennis player. She won a gold and a bronze medal at the 1988 Summer Paralympics.[1] She was once trained by Feng Mengya.[2]
She sustained injuries to both feet in a traffic accident when she was 15. As hospitals were in limbo during the Cultural Revolution, her treatment was delayed, which caused her left foot to be amputated eight years later.[1] She has worked as a physician since her retirement.[2]
