3 self-sufficient young disabled Chinese men sell garlic for a living, inspiring many


Three young disabled men from southeastern China earn a living by selling garlic and ginger, inspiring many online with their self-reliance and mutual support.


According to mainland media Jiupai News, a young woman known as Xiaoyu, who lost a hand and was disfigured in a fire, is a close friend of the three men. She documents their daily routines and work, sharing the content online with 23,000 followers in hopes of garnering social support for them.


The trio, all in their 20s from Jiangxi province, live with varying degrees of cerebral palsy.
