China limbless mum sews with mouth, uses limb stumps for daily tasks, raises 3 kids alone
‘Warrior’ octogenarian who uses her elbows to hold chopsticks, took care of household chores and made sure family ‘never went hungry’
An 81-year-old Chinese woman dubbed “the strongest Chinese mother” was born without limbs and managed to raise three children.
The octogenarian who has moved many people online sewed with her mouth and used her elbows to hold chopsticks while looking after her family.
Wang Yushi, 81, from Baiyin in Gansu province, northern China, was born with a congenital disability and has had no limbs since birth.
She did not even have an official name until her late 20s.
“My mother was born without hands or legs, and for more than 20 years she did not even have a name. It was not until she married my father at 27 that a registration officer gave her the name Wang Yushi, and that is what everyone has called her since,” said her youngest son, Zhang Lihu, 38.
