A man in central China without arms delivers food on a unicycle and uses his lips to navigate his phone to call customers.
What is more, after work at night he sets up a stall to sell calligraphy written with his feet to support his family.
Inspirational Li Xiangyang, 30, from Hunan province, was born into a poor rural family and now lives with his wife and their two children.
He lost both his arms when he was accidentally electrocuted at the age of four, a tragedy that also plunged his family into debt.
“What has happened cannot be changed. I can only move forward. There is no need to dwell on it or complain,” Li told the mainland media outlet Jimu News.
At just eight years old, Li began practising calligraphy with his feet to help ease his family’s financial struggles. He sold his work to bring in a little extra income.
In July, with both of his children about to start kindergarten and costs climbing, he took on part-time work delivering food.
Balancing on a unicycle with a delivery box strapped to his back, he navigates the city streets, using his lips to operate a phone tied to his arm stumps.
Restaurant staff often help load his orders, and many customers come down themselves once they know he has no arms.
Li says he has met countless kind shop owners and customers and sometimes receives tips.
According to mainland reports, a local noodle shop owner frequently gives him free water and meals. Fellow delivery riders also showed him tricks to help save time.
In his first month in the job, Li completed nearly 200 orders and earned 1,300 yuan (US$180). He donated his first earnings to a charity.
“I have received so much help from others. Now I want to pass on that kindness,” he said.
By August, Li had reportedly become faster, delivering up to 40 orders a day.
However, most of his income still comes from selling calligraphy at night near tourist spots.
Holding a brush between the toes of his right foot, he writes characters like “heaven rewards diligence” and “wealth”.
Li has not disclosed his income, but according to the Xiaoxiang Morning Post, the government provided him with a free stall and helped him get public housing with an annual rent of just 2,000 yuan (US$280).
