A man in central China without arms delivers food on a unicycle and uses his lips to navigate his phone to call customers.

What is more, after work at night he sets up a stall to sell calligraphy written with his feet to support his family.

Inspirational Li Xiangyang, 30, from Hunan province, was born into a poor rural family and now lives with his wife and their two children.
