Handless Man Uses Feet to Repair Tires

In China, you have to make the best of any situation. There is little help available and no matter what happens, you have to put food on the table.

Not having proper use of his hands, this very talented man uses his feet to repair flat bicycle tires and seems to be very skilled at doing so.

I do not think it is weird news. The man is utilizing what he has. It has become his normality like ours. You have women in the world that take care of their kids and they have no arms

Why, do you see people with no arms on a regular basis in Amazing Land?

@DARKWING: It’s CHINA, those things aren’t a big concern… Have you seen the cesspool they live in?

…yes so much better than in the US were he’d still receive NO medical treatment - unless he was the
“cause of the week” featured on the news - and then probably be fined for operating an illegal unlicensed business.

Clean up your own backyard before you flap your lips about someone elses’.

Lol, i highly doubt you could afford to even visit the “cesspool”. Continue watching TV and the way we portray China in your mind.

There are people in our country, the United States, doing the same things. Like the reader before said, there is a woman that raises a family with her feet.

Not surprising.

What does that even mean? Do you know how to type real and complete sentences? Also, to everybody else (except Richard)… way to have faith in the entire population of the US. Not everybody is the same as all of you “great and amazing” folks. Maybe YOU would have just given up, but that doesn’t mean EVERYBODY would have given up. Check your comments for stupidity next time, people.

This is a man who took lemons and made lemonade. He did not just give up because of his disability and praise him for that. People in THIS country would have just given up but he makes the most of his life. I say congrats to this man for making himself a useful member of society!

Agreed, folks in this country just whine and mooch off society when faced with the slightest disability… whiplash, back pain, legs blown off in Iraq, whatever.

I’ve worked in the cycling industry for about 9 years. I’m going to try NOT complaining about anything I do for work now…

Geez, I feel lazy - I hate changing flats on my own bike, though not for other people’s.

Thanks for sharing this!

Hmm, I didn’t read the article because I had to run and vote but why doesn’t he just use his hands?

Never believe what the lines of your hand predict about your future, Bcoz people who don’t have hands also have a future…
Believe in yourself !

Take Care.

there’s a place for him as a mechanic on any one of the teams competing in the Tour de France!

All you Americans without healthcare should take some inspiration from this guy and go out and get yourself a trade!

I gotta give big props to this guy. Unlike us lazy-ass Americans who even if we’re able-bodied, would still be begging on the streets. At least this guy does something despite his situation.

You know… this would be a great inspirational story to email too many people with various challenges’.
However so many of the posters on this story don’t even have the insight to recognize their challenges and readers may leave feeling more upset then inspired. :-(

i noticed the man’s right lower leg is practically just skin and bone… i wonder how much longer he can support himself like he does. Does China have anything like social security? Poor man…at least he doesn’t sit on his ass and look for handouts.

This is inspiring. Even though he has no hands he helps other people out using another skill. And by the way, he must have a helper to like brush his hair and help him get dressed and stuff, he cannot do that with his feet…
