A disabled artisan who makes clay figurines(泥人) on the street in southwest China’s Sichuan Province has recently become popular across the country.
The artisan, whose last name is Mi, lost his hands in an accident 19 years ago. He didn’t give in, and he learned to eat and get dressed on his own in the year that followed the unexpected accident. Since he was already married then, he thought that he must find a way to make a living by himself and be independent of the help of others, as he “has a family to take care of.” After seeing an artisan making dough figurines on the street, Mi was attracted to it and decided to learn it himself.
The artisan said he couldn’t teach Mi when he saw that Mi had no fingers. Mi didn’t give up and finally wore him down. The learning process(过程) was challenging. In the beginning he could only make two roses in an afternoon. And his arms were often sore after all of the practice. However, because of his love for the activity and his hope for making a living, he never thought about giving up.
Today, Mi is not only able to make a living by making clay figurines as he had hoped, but taking great pleasure(快乐) in what he does. Whenever he sits on the ground to make clay figurines, many people will quickly come to watch him. Mi is full of hope for a better future, as he knows his hard work will pay off.
