In a small mountain village in Hechuan, Chongqing, a man holds a small wooden stool in both hands and supports his body, step by step towards the Audi car parked on the side of the road. The man's legs were completely missing from the waist down, but his face was filled with a confident and generous smile, his strong hands supported the car door, and his strong body whizzed into the driver's seat. The man starts the car, he looks relaxed, the movement is skilled, and he looks like an old driver. Audi cars drive on empty country roads and slowly disappear into the mountains. Who could have predicted that this man, who was less than a meter tall, was a billionaire, who opened a repair shop, opened a hot pot shop, chartered coal mines, ran a factory, ran a company, won the return of beautiful people in the local rich side, and also gave kindness to benefit the township. Although he lost his legs, he "stood" taller than anyone else, and he was Tang Yi, who was called a legless philanthropist by the villagers.

In December 1966, Tang Yi was born in Xingzhai Village, Sanhui Town, Hechuan District, Chongqing, where the three rivers converge and surrounded by mountains, and the childhood Tang Yi ran freely among the mountains and frolicked by the small river, although he was poor, he grew up healthy and happy, until he was 7 years old, a sudden tragedy quietly came.
August 7, 1974 this day is forever engraved in Tang Yi's mind, after school on this day, the diligent baby Tang Yi went to the lawn of a coal mine near the village to herd cattle, and a gangue winch stood quietly there, arousing the strong curiosity of the cowherds. He leaned over to see what was going on, but unexpectedly the winch suddenly started, and the panicked little Tang Yi fell into the winch turntable, and in an instant his legs were blurred with blood and flesh, and he shrugged like noodles, and people also fainted.
When Tang Yi woke up, he was already lying on the operating table of the hospital, and he found that the lower half of his body was light and fluttering, god, he was only half a person left, the legs that once made him jump alive had been separated forever, only the mother on the side could not cry, and the boundless pain enveloped this unfortunate baby and his whole family.
More than a month later, Tang Yi was discharged from the hospital, and when he returned home, the familiar old cow was surprised to see the figure crawling on the ground, this monster looked both familiar and strange, wasn't this the little master who once led himself to let himself feast? Even if the animals were heartbroken, the old cow also shed bitter tears.
Since then, every morning, this old cow consciously came to Tang Yi, bowed his head, let the little master grab its horn and climb onto his back, him to school, rain or shine. A few years later, the old cow died, and Tang Yi lay on the cow's corpse for a long time, unwilling to separate for a long time. Later, Tang Yi raised two more dogs, and these two dogs took over the class of the old cow, one to help him grab things, one to help him carry a school bag, and accompany Tang to school every day.
Winter to spring, cold to summer, no matter the wind and rain or heavy snow, 7 kilometers of mountain roads, Tang Yi insisted for more than ten years. In the nearby ten miles and eight townships, the villagers talked about this legless reading lang, and they all praised him.
In 1985, Tang Yi took the college entrance examination and reached the undergraduate admission score line, but he still could not wait for the admission letter. Tang Yi knew that even if his grades were excellent, the door of the university would not open to him in this state of his body. The hope of changing his fate by reading was broken, and Tang Yi lost the direction of his life like a frosted eggplant. He came to the nearby railway bridge in despair, looked at the bottomless valley, and wanted to say a final farewell to the world. Suddenly, a pair of powerful hands hugged him, "Your baby's two legs are gone, and you are not afraid of death!" The old man's words re-lit the bright light of Tang Yi's life, "I must not bow my head, I must stand up, I must live a sample to show myself, to everyone!" A young man without legs but with a handsome face who could hardly hide his face swore to the mountain.

We all have healthy legs, either slender, or stocky, and it can take us everywhere we want to go. However, for Tang Yi, it was difficult for Him to go to the Qingtian, so how would he survive? In China in the 80s, watches were very fashionable objects, electrical appliances began to enter thousands of households, self-employed people mushroomed, repairing clocks and watches and appliances for Tang Yi, who was highly disabled, was undoubtedly a good business. On a snowy day in 1985, Tang Yi decided to go to Longshi Town, 30 kilometers away, to learn clock maintenance. Muddy mountain roads, flying snow, biting cold winds, unfamiliar roads, healthy people rely on two feet and are still difficult, how can Tang Yi, who has no legs, arrive? He could only prop up the bench with both hands and move forward step by step. His body was frozen, his palms were blistering, his ass was red and swollen, and the package on his back was getting heavier, but he gritted his teeth and insisted, looking from a distance like a snowball rolling on a mountain road. An old lady saw the distressed doll and insisted on giving him a loose ticket, but he refused.
Seven hours later, when a dwarf snowman appeared at the door of the watch repair master's door, the teacher Fu was stunned, and he promised in public that he would teach all the repair techniques for free to this disabled young man. Tang Yi studied very hard and diligently, and then was admitted to the Chengdu Electrical Appliance Research Institute to learn electrical repair.
In 1988, Tang Yi borrowed 300 yuan and set up the first local repair department in Sanhui Town, because of its exquisite technology, fair price, honest management, and kindness, it soon became famous, and the neighbors took the clocks and watches and appliances at home to repair. Xiao Tang paid off the money borrowed from the store in the first month and saved more than a thousand yuan, which is equivalent to the income of ordinary people in a year, and Tang Yi became a local expert in getting rich.

Not long after, Boss Tang, whose pocket was growing, encountered a good thing again, and his love came. One day a girl came to the repair department with a Shanghai brand watch and whispered that this watch was very important to her, and the trouble must be helped to fix it. This was just a piece of cake for Tang Yi, who looked at the girl next to him while repairing his watch and took the opportunity to talk to her. I saw that she had a beautiful face, a slim figure, clear eyes, and a gentle voice. The girl also looked at the watchmaker, although he had no legs, but he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, humorous and funny speech, and a thick bass that sounded strangely good. Looking at each other, the two young people suddenly had a heartbeat. Since then, the two have begun to communicate, and then the girl has secretly obtained a marriage license with Tang Yi despite her parents' objections.
After starting a family, Tang Yi felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, and he wanted his wife to live a happy life. In 1989, Tang Yi opened a hot pot restaurant in Sanhui Town, and with fresh ingredients and distinctive characteristics, the hot pot shop business was booming. Next, Tang Yi went farther and farther on the road of entrepreneurship, running calcium carbonate plants, auto repair plants, machinery factories, kitchenware factories, hotel restaurants, logistics companies, import and export trading companies, investing in coal mines, and having more than a dozen enterprises in Yunnan-Guichuan and Chongqing, with assets of hundreds of millions of yuan.

However, when his career was booming, Tang Yi's marriage lit up a red light. Tang Yi and his wife have been married for more than ten years, never had children, and the two eventually broke up peacefully. Tang Yi is grateful to his wife, thank you for being with the wind and rain in the strange eyes of others, you are still the girl with clear eyes more than 10 years ago.
Once Tang Yi went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to negotiate business, and he could actually drive without legs, and a female staff member couldn't help but look at this simple man with disdain. Knowing more, this person actually had more than a dozen companies, and the woman had even more admiration for Tang Yi. This beautiful woman with a height of 1 meter 7 is very good at talking and caring for Tang Yi, and after a long time, Tang Yi slowly opened her heart. After 7 years of long running, the two finally came together, and after marriage, the two had a son and a daughter.
"My wife is very beautiful, I'm embarrassed to go out with her, but she doesn't care at all." Tang Yi was very satisfied with this beautiful and tall second wife, and the words were full of warmth.

After Tang Yi became rich, he did not forget the disabled people who were as sick as he used to be, there were hundreds of disabled employees in his company, he arranged different jobs for them, the hearing impaired do welding and assembling workers, the disabled with both legs did accounting copywriting, even if they left his company, everyone could rely on their own skills to gain a foothold in society.
For public welfare undertakings, Tang Yi spared no effort to help, villagers subsidized, built roads and bridges, transformed human and animal drinking water pipes, relocated villagers, Wenchuan earthquake, Tang Yi has donated more than 4 million yuan over the years, and is affectionately known as "legless philanthropist" by villagers.
In 2009, Tang Yi was named "National Model of Self-Improvement" and "climbed" to the podium of the Great Hall of the People with his hands. In June 2017, Tang Yi was honored in the "China Good People List".
Tang Yi likes to drive, and there is a luxury car parked in front of his company, and he modifies the vehicle, installs poles at the brakes and accelerators, and uses his hands instead of feet to operate. For more than 20 years, this veteran driver has driven to more than 20 cities in China and traveled to more than 10 countries in Europe. Although he lost his legs, he "walked" out of a good road with his hands and supported a good life with his hands. To this legless man, I just want to say three words: you really can! And for myself, I just want to ask out loud: What reason do you have not to work hard?
