His name is Yuan Lidong, he has no limbs since the day he was born, he looks like a meat ball that can't turn over, his family background and Xi are not good, he chose to beg on the street at the age of 14, but the result was full of cold eyes and ridicule from everyone.
No one expected that this seemingly "meatball" disabled person not only succeeded in marrying a wife and having children with his hard work day after day, but even had an excellent job, that is, a game anchor who could earn millions a year.
Yuan Lidong, who seemed to others to have a bad start, broke through many difficulties and achieved a "turnaround" in life, how did he do it?

In 2015, a game streamer named "Brother Chopsticks" was very popular on the Internet, and most of his published works were in-game images.
As long as the avatar of "Brother Chopsticks" is shown to be live broadcasting, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room will soon exceed 10,000, and many people are recommended by friends to watch, but his game skills are not satisfactory, and sometimes his teammates put signals next to him, and he is also a beat slower.
However, sharp-eyed netizens found that this "chopsticks brother" is really as good as his name suggests, and he is biting chopsticks with his mouth to play games.
And this much-talked-about "chopsticks brother" was originally named Yuan Lidong, who had no limbs, and when he was doing a live broadcast, he needed to trouble his wife to carry him to the side of the bed so that he could lie on his side.
After the camera is turned on, Yuan Lidong has to use his left cheek to move the mouse and operate, and his mouth needs to hold chopsticks to press the buttons on the keyboard.
After that, with the encouragement of netizens, he became more and more proficient in game operation, and was even able to score five kills, and many fans who liked him sent gifts one after another, and he also used these tips to change the embarrassing situation at home.
If you want to become a game streamer, in addition to practicing Xi diligently, you also have to spend a lot of time on live broadcasting, and Yuan Lidong needs to broadcast live for at least 6-8 hours a day.
As the live broadcast got longer and longer, Yuan Lidong's left side of his face also developed thick calluses because of moving the mouse, and the number of chest tightness became more and more, which made him gradually unbearable.
Yuan Lidong went to the hospital for an examination accompanied by his wife, and after the doctor examined him, he found that the organs in Yuan Lidong's body showed signs of a large area to the left because he had been lying on his side for a long time.
If Yuan Lidong doesn't want his condition to continue to develop, the best solution is to stop the live broadcast of the game and stop lying on his side for a long time.
I thought that it was the worst plan to no longer be able to live broadcast the game, but I don't know who posted the rumors on the Internet, thinking that Yuan Lidong's physical disability was deserved.
Some people say that Yuan Lidong was not born with a disability, but because he did something wrong to become such a tragic situation, and some people even posted photos of him begging on the street as a minor, saying that he had a nose and eyes.
Seeing this, many fans in the live broadcast room had a great misunderstanding of Yuan Lidong, and he had to tear open his scars and expose them in front of everyone, and began to tell his childhood experience.
In 1986, Yuan Lidong was born in a mountain village in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, and he was still crying, so that his parents and the neighbor who delivered the baby were at a loss, because lying on the bed was a huge ball of meat that had lost his hands and feet.
Seeing this, some villagers advised Yuan's father and mother to throw the child into the deep mountains and old forests, if the child can survive, it is also his creation, and the husband and wife do not need to take the rest of their lives for a child.
Although Yuan Lidong's parents couldn't bear it, they couldn't raise an unsound child because of their poor family, so they were ruthless and left the child at the edge of the village for three days and three nights.
Fortunately, blood is thicker than water, and Yuan's mother couldn't bear to watch this little life pass away, so she took the child home, and Yuan Lidong, who had been closed in the ghost gate, finally survived.
Since the child was brought back, it was impossible to say that it was impossible not to treat, Yuan's mother abandoned the land she had planted and began to take the child around, and the examination results given by several major hospitals were that Yuan Lidong had a rare congenital seal limb disease.
The cause was that Yuan's mother mistakenly ate the medicine that pregnant women were fasting when she was pregnant, which caused Yuan Lidong's limbs to not develop normally.
After learning that her son's disability was related to herself, Yuan's mother felt very guilty, because before that, she also wanted to throw Yuan Lidong away, which made her feel very remorseful.
After choosing a name for their son, the mustard in the hearts of Yuan's father and Yuan's mother was gone, and they hoped that their son would not give up on himself and become a man who stood up to the sky.
Yuan Lidong has no hands, and it is very difficult to eat, Yuan's mother will take care of her son first, and after he has eaten and drunk enough, she will eat the cold rice herself, because of the guilt for her son, so that she can not leave her son an inch.
But as his son grows older and older, Yuan's father and Yuan's mother's worries only increase, because he is different from ordinary children, unable to walk, run and jump, and Yuan Lidong seems to be aware of this, and he will look at the children running out of the window with envy.
Sometimes when he felt pain, he would ask his parents where his limbs had gone? Honest parents didn't know how to deceive their children, but they couldn't say words of comfort, so the sensible Yuan Lidong stopped asking.
When Yuan Lidong was supposed to go to school, he was sent to school and learned to write with a pen in his mouth.
But the children's joys, sorrows and sorrows are very pure, they are unwilling to contact with Yuan Lidong, and some people even bully Yuan Lidong, in desperation, he can only leave the campus in the third grade of primary school, and his parents no longer have to get up early and take him to school in the dark.
After returning home, Yuan Lidong learned to write and dress with his mouth Xi, he liked to sing, he decided to come to the street to make money by selling art when his father was fired from the factory, and his parents couldn't bear to let him go alone, so they let his father go with him.
The days in the takeaway art are hard, but as long as the father and son save a little money, they can barely support their family, and seeing that the days are getting better day by day, the bad news that their mother has a brain tumor is about to crush their bodies.
The doctor told Yuan Lidong that the brain tumor needed surgery, and the operation cost was as high as 300,000 yuan.
Although they earned tens of thousands of yuan, this was far from enough for 300,000 yuan, even if Yuan Lidong sold out the valuable things at home, he only got more than 100,000 yuan.
Soon, the mother, who was suffering from the disease, could no longer bear it, and she passed away forever with endless thoughts about her husband and son.
Yuan Lidong, who failed to treat his mother in time, was in a mess during that time, but God was fair and let him find the love of his life.
A girl threw a few bills into it while he was performing arts, and she admired Yuan Lidong's brave spirit of defying difficulties, and the two got to know each other.
After getting along for a long time, Yanzi (pseudonym) expressed his heart to Yuan Lidong, and Yuan Lidong held a simple wedding for Yanzi after persuading Yanzi's parents.
Soon after the marriage, Yanzi showed signs of pregnancy, and Yuan Lidong was afraid that his son would lose his limbs like himself when he was born, but fortunately, the child was very healthy on the day he landed.
After having a child, Yuan Lidong can no longer perform as much as before, because he wants to give his wife a better life, so he joined the live broadcast at the suggestion of a friend and became the familiar "Brother Chopsticks".
As the number of people in his live broadcast room increased, the live broadcast platform signed him to his name, and he reached an annual income of one million with the tips and wages of netizens, and he played a bad deck of cards into his own good cards.
After that, Yuan Lidong's inspirational deeds were posted on the Internet by fans, and he was also invited by a certain program, when Yuan Lidong bit the chopsticks with his mouth and skillfully picked up the peanuts on the plate, he did not have that inferiority complex and shyness on his face.
Because he can do a lot of things with one chopstick, he can type faster than ordinary people, and he can also use his mouth to show fans how to fold quilts and dress every day.
Yuan Lidong proved to countless people that what ordinary people can do, he can also do, and in some ways he can do better than normal people.
And when the host of the show used his mouth to learn Xi Yuan Lidong's daily needs, he found that he was a little embarrassed, and the host realized that Yuan Lidong's seemingly simple actions had spent countless hours practicing Xi, and he deserved to be praised.
In this regard, Yuan Lidong said that this is just a very ordinary thing, and there is nothing to be proud of.
Now Yuan Lidong has not been in contact with the game live broadcast industry, and began to help people in need sell local products through online e-commerce, and after the savings he has saved over the years, he has opened a small supermarket, and the business situation is quite good.
Yuan Lidong usually takes care of his wife and children at home when he is not busy, and some people who have watched Yuan Lidong's live broadcast room said that their son looks very healthy and cute, and he should not be like his father in the future.
Losing hands and feet is nothing to Yuan Lidong, the most important thing is not to give up the hope for life, after all, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, as long as you are willing to work hard, those lost things will appear in another way.
Even though Yuan Lidong's previous life was very hard, he did not resign himself to degenerate, nor did he complain and vent his dissatisfaction, and he has always been positive and silently takes care of his wife and children, and his spirit of silently taking care of his wife and children has also been loved by many netizens.
The disabled "chopsticks brother" still faces life with a smile, so how can we who have sound limbs and have not experienced ups and downs talk about lying flat?
