Son With No Arms Spoon-Feeds His Paralyzed Mom Using His Teeth
Chen Xinyin, 48, has had a hard life. He lost his arms after suffering an electric shock at the age of seven, but still started working on the family farm. At the age of 20, his father died, leaving just Chen and his ailing mother to fend for themselves. As his mother got sicker and life got harder, someone suggested that Chen consider begging, but angrily replied, “I have no arms but I have good feet. I can’t go make that sort of money.”
Since losing his arms, Chen has learned to cook, farm, and weave baskets. In 2014, the Chongqing, south-west China, resident began to take care of his 91-year-old mother full time, even feeding her with a spoon between his teeth. The winters are hard for Chen Since he finds it difficult to put socks on, and he often suffers from frostbite.

Amazing! I wish there was some way to buy a basket from Chen Xinyin, or to donate somehow to help care for his mom.
Life is difficult to everyone. Here we see he is handicapped and doing things he must do in his life, SO ARE WE. In our daily life, we have to face so many difficulties, maybe not from the body but from psycho
