China comedian inspires many despite disabilities; viewers celebrate his ‘optimistic mindset’
Once-healthy student with a knack for track and field, Yang suffers a brain haemorrhage at 17 after spending excessive hours playing online games
A young man from southern China, who has endured brain haemorrhages three times that led to his partial paralysis, has transformed his disability into comedy and life inspiration through his short videos, winning the hearts of many internet users.
Yang Tiejun, 26, who lives in Huizhou, Guangdong province, has amassed a total of 600,000 followers on two leading mainland social media platforms, as reported by the South Metropolis News.
“Hello, I am your human whisk, human electric toothbrush, and human fascia gun,” Yang often humorously self-mocks in his videos, referring to his physical feature that causes his left arm to shake uncontrollably at a high frequency.
Once a healthy student with a talent for track and field sports, Yang was first struck by a brain haemorrhage at the age of 17 after hours spent playing online games. He suddenly fainted and awoke five days later.
“I believe I have this problem because I tend to become emotional,” he stated.
