Actor Tong Liya stars as a strong and loving armless woman in a new drama film, learning to perform tasks such as caring for a baby using only her feet and mouth.

In "Till Love Do Us Apart," Tong plays an orphan raised in a welfare institution who later cares for an abandoned infant. The film explores themes of disability and maternal love as Tong's character faces a relentless battle to secure legal adoption rights when the welfare institution takes the child away.
