[Recommend a good example] Armless rural calligrapher Di Zhili

The power of faith is infinite. Di Zhili, a "post-60s" in Nanchenma Village, Mengzhuang Town, Huixian City, lost both arms and left leg in an accidental electric shock accident, but this could not hinder his perseverance in practicing calligraphy.

The accident occurred in 1980, when Di Zhili was 19 years old. The sudden disaster caused the family to suffer a double blow of economy and spirit, and the young people who were flourishing lost confidence in life.

At that time, listening to the radio became his greatest way to understand the outside world. It was also through the radio that he learned about the armless calligrapher Liu Jingsheng, worshiped the wheelchair writer Zhang Haidi, and found a new direction for himself in life.

Yes, although Di Zhili was physically handicapped, he was physically handicapped and decided to practice writing to restart his life.

His family helped him tie the brush to the broken arm, spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind and rain, he overcame his physical defects, persevered day by day, wrote carefully with one stroke and one painting, and finally wrote in a similar way. In order to systematically learn calligraphy, he also participated in the correspondence course of Wuxi Calligraphy Art College. In 1997, Di Zhili held the "Crescent Handless Calligraphy Exhibition" in Xinxiang, which was well received. Shortly after the calligraphy exhibition, Di Zhili harvested love.

Through writing, his thoughts became words; through writing, he achieved communication with calligraphy enthusiasts across the country; through writing, he often won awards in calligraphy competitions, and self-confidence returned.

Today, Di Zhili runs a commissary while insisting on calligraphy creation. Wang Zhengren, secretary of the party branch of Nanchenma Village, said that in the village, Di Zhili is a typical example of self-improvement, calligraphy, which makes him write about life.
