This is a touching picture of filial devotion of a son named Chen Xinyin, 48, from Chongqing, south west China who had lost both arms after getting a massive electric shock when he was seven years old.
The man runs a smallholding in China. He cooks, able to farm, peel corn and even weave baskets. He has overcome his disability to take care of his 91-year old bedridden mother on his own.
His mother became weaker and weaker each year. She became paralyzed since July and can no longer move her arms. He has to do everything using other parts of his body, including spoon-feeding his sick mother using his teeth to hold on to the instrument.
But Chen never let his ability stop him. He has been helping on the family smallholding by rearing 24 sheeps, two buffalos and four hens. When his father died and his older siblings had already left home, his mother became the only person who kept the poverty-stricken family going.
Chen wanted to help as much as he can, starting with learning to cook. But with no hands, he had to learn to use a cleaver with his foot.
The first time he tried to use the cleaver with his foot, he managed to lift it into the air using the toes on his right foot.Unfortunately it then fell down on to his left foot, leaving a scar that can still be seen today.
Chen's amazing strength of character has been captured in a series of moving photographs that's recently emerged.
