However, with his unremitting efforts, he successfully married a wife and had children, and he earned millions a year.
Netizens can't help but exclaim, how can this make those able-bodied "singles" embarrassed!
Next, let's walk into the legendary life of "Brother Chopsticks" Yuan Lidong.

"Weird" game streamer
In 2015, a game anchor called "Brother Chopsticks" suddenly became popular on the Internet.
As long as he started live broadcasting, his popularity has remained high.
Some curious netizens came to watch, but they didn't see how powerful this anchor's skills were.
However, then they found out that the streamer was actually playing the game with his mouth!
This "chopsticks brother" is Yuan Lidong.
Every day before the start of the live broadcast, his wife would carry him to the side of the bed and let him lie on one side.
Then turn on the camera and place a chopstick next to the mouse.
Yuan Lidong, on the other hand, will use his left cheek to press the mouse and press the keyboard with chopsticks in his mouth.
In this way, Yuan Lidong became the "big brother" in the online game.
At its peak, nearly 100,000 people watched his live stream online.
He also relied on the tips of these netizens to support his family.
However, as the live broadcast got longer and longer, Yuan Lidong's body had problems.
He even had a thick layer of calluses on his face.
The teeth also showed signs of loosening due to biting the chopsticks for a long time, and the gums were often red, swollen and bleeding.
What's more, after examination, the doctor also found that because Yuan Lidong had been lying on his side for a long time, his organs had shifted to the left.
For the sake of his future health, the doctor advised him to pause his game streaming.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, some rumors about Yuan Lidong circulated on the Internet.
Someone posted a photo of Yuan Lidong begging when he was young.
He also fabricated rumors that he was not born disabled, but was beaten like this because he had done bad things.
Yuan Lidong's popularity has plummeted, and more and more people have misunderstood.
He could only clarify in the live broadcast room and tell about his experience since childhood.
Gave birth to a "meat ball"
In 1986, a family surnamed Yuan in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, was happily waiting for their child to be born.
However, when the father saw the child at first sight, he was taken aback.
I saw that the child had no limbs at all, and the whole person was like a small ball of meat.
The mother couldn't believe that she was pregnant and gave birth to a "monster" in October.
At first, the Yuan family's parents really couldn't accept this fact, and they were even more afraid of the voices of the people in the village.
They even threw the child directly into a big pit at the edge of the village.
But listening to the heart-rending cry, I couldn't bear it, and finally hugged him back.
They decided that no matter what happened in the future, they must raise this child and named him Yuan Lidong.
Yuan Lidong's parents also took him to the city's big hospital for a closer examination.
The doctor said that Yuan Lidong was a congenital malformation, also known as "seal limb disease".
It is likely that the mother took certain drugs when she was pregnant.
Hearing this, Yuan Lidong's mother only felt extremely guilty.
But Yuan Lidong didn't understand these when he was a child.
His mother would carry him out on her back every day, feed him herself, and carry him to the toilet.
Yuan Lidong thought that all children were like this.
However, as he grew older, Yuan Lidong realized that he was different.
But fortunately, his parents have always treated him as a normal child, and the children in the village will also take him to play with him.
In order to facilitate Yuan Lidong's movements, his mother also made him a soft cushion under his body.
So that he can walk on a jump.
Yuan Lidong was still very naughty in his childhood.
Once, I went with other children to pick elm money, but I accidentally poked the honeycomb.
The other children were all frightened and fled, but Yuan Lidong couldn't run, and his eyelids were swollen from being stung.
Another time, Yuan Lidong wanted to learn to swim on a whim, but accidentally slipped into the river and almost drowned.
Fortunately, there were other people nearby, and they fished him out.
Later, when Yuan Lidong reached the age of going to school, his parents felt that he should also accept the influence of knowledge.
So Yuan Lidong began to learn to write with his mouth biting the pen.
But even so, he could only catch up with the progress at the beginning, and the family conditions were not good, and his father had to carry him to school every day.
Later, Yuan Lidong had no choice but to drop out of school.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for Yuan Lidong's father to be laid off.
The family's main source of income was also cut off.
In order to make a living, Yuan Lidong could only follow his father on the road of performing arts.
Begging for the arts, encountering a good match
Yuan Lidong followed his father to start the journey of begging and selling art with a discarded stereo that he had collected.
They will come to the most crowded place on the street and turn on the device.
Yuan Lidong will enthusiastically sing along with the music, and sometimes dance his body to the rhythm.
Slowly, Yuan Lidong's performances became more and more popular, and their income gradually increased.
Sometimes Yuan Lidong sees some acrobatics performers, and will secretly learn a few movements to add to his performance.
The life of the Yuan family is finally getting better day by day.
However, fate is always so unforgiving.
A few years later, Yuan Lidong's mother was suddenly diagnosed with a brain tumor.
In order to make up enough money for his mother's surgery, Yuan Lidong could only work harder to earn money.
The father and son have traveled all over the streets and alleys of various cities.
It was in this process that Yuan Lidong also met the love of his life.
That day, a girl named Chai Panxia was attracted by Yuan Lidong's god of songs.
She didn't expect the singer to be a man with a disability.
I am even more impressed by the strength of the other party.
For several days after that, Chai Panxia would appear on time at the place where Yuan Lidong performed.
And Yuan Lidong has long noticed this beautiful girl.
At the end of each performance, he would chat with each other for a while.
Later, he also saved fifty yuan to buy a puppy for Chai Panxia.
came and went, and both of them fell in love with each other.
But Chai Panxia's parents would not agree to their daughter marrying a disabled person at all.
But helplessly, her daughter always insisted that she would not marry him, and finally had to agree.
So, the two finally successfully held a wedding.
Not long after marriage, Chai Panxia became pregnant.
Yuan Lidong is very worried about the health of his children, and urges his wife to take a pregnancy test every time.
On the day his wife gave birth, he was even more nervous than Chai Panxia.
Looking at his chubby son, Yuan Lidong couldn't help but shed tears.
His child is healthy!
Yuan Lidong's restless heart finally fell back to its original place.
With his wife and children to worry about, coupled with the gradual decline of the art industry, in order to support his family, Yuan Lidong can only reconsider finding a new job.
At this time, online live broadcast was quietly emerging, and Yuan Lidong also resolutely joined the "anchor army".
"Brother Chopsticks" with an annual income of one million
In order to master the game operation proficiently, Yuan Lidong didn't know how many times he practiced with chopsticks in his Xi.
Sometimes the skin of the mouth is worn out by the chopsticks, and the neck is always cramped because it is crooked.
Fortunately, his first live broadcast attracted the attention of many people.
Later, he became a big Internet celebrity with an annual income of one million, and also signed a contract with a well-known platform and company in the industry.
Relying on the income from the live broadcast, Yuan Lidong's family's life is much better.
However, at this time, Yuan's mother's condition suddenly deteriorated, and the operation was useless.
In the end, he could only die, but fortunately, at the last time, he saw that Yuan Lidong had started a family and had no regrets.
In 2022, after a doctor's diagnosis, Yuan Lidong's body is no longer suitable for continuing to broadcast games.
So after explaining to fans, Yuan Lidong began to transform into an outdoor anchor.
Since then, Yuan Lidong has occasionally chatted with netizens or sung.
His wife also started raising sheep, and Yuan Lidong sometimes shows everyone these cute little lambs in the live broadcast.
But no matter what he does, Yuan Lidong will always have a bright smile on his face.
Such an optimistic and strong attitude has also infected many netizens.
