The man said that he could not get into school because of his situation as he was refused admission. The armless man stated that he wants to achieve something in life to prove his doubters wrong.

Give me a chance

He learnt tailoring as a way to have something to survive by. The physically challenged man said the person who taught him tailoring initially refused to.

When the tutor asked how he would be able to cope without arms, the young man asked the teacher to give him a chance.

Physically challenged man wins gold

Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a man without arms, Zheng Tao, dominated the Paralympic swimming games going on in Tokyo as he won a total number of four golds.

It was gathered that after winning the medals at the contest, he told his daughter in a video message:

“Daughter, look at me - I can swim so fast even though I don’t have arms!”

The man dominated in areas like freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly even though he lost both his arms to an electric shock as a child.
