A Chinese university student who lost both arms at age six has become an online game host due to his extraordinary skills at performing computer games by foot, mainland media reports.

Peng Chao began streaming himself playing computer games in mid-May and now broadcasts for two hours every day, the Chengdu Commercial News reported.

The 22-year-old used his left foot to operate the keyboard and right one to move the mouse while he communicated with his online audience through a microphone, the report said.

Peng said he started using live-streaming as a way to relax, and found it quite natural as he was already adept at playing computer games, according to the report.
