Chen Xinyin lost his arms at the age of 7 but he didn’t let that slow him down. He continued to work on the family farm and he’s a very dedicated worker. He lost his father 20 years ago and is now left to take care of his paralyzed mother. You would think that this sort of thing would be impossible but Chen has found a way.
Chen Xinyin lost his arm after an electric shock when he was 7
At 14 he began to work on the family farm, and at 20, his father died
Chen was forced to learn to do everything with is feet, even cooking
He has a scar on his foot from the first time he tried to use a knife
Chen uses the rest of his body to make up for his lack of arms
There’s no one to help with the housework since his mother became paralysed
So Chen farms and takes care of their house
Some of the jobs he does are remarkable
Once, someone suggested that Chen go and beg instead of farming
“I have no arms but I have good feet. I can’t go make that sort of money,” he replied
