A paralysed, wheelchair-bound woman in central China has touched internet users by using her belly to operate a sewing machine to make a living.
Tang Manxia, who lives in Changsha, Hunan province, has been given the nickname “belly sewing sister” on social media thanks to her way of working, reported by Dami Video.
Tang, 42, was paralysed in a 2018 accident, the nature of which was not revealed. Since then, she has had to rely on the wheelchair to move around.
She was bedridden for two years and was in very low spirits until a friend who helped her move around persuaded her to come out of her “dark period”.
