How do halfarm people make a living by selling words?

In Baishulin, Shaanxi Province, Jia, a 43-year-old half-arm calligrapher, carried a desk and stool on the side of the road, unfolded the folding fan with his mouth and the residual arm of his right hand, then fixed the brush on the half-arm with his mouth and began to draw and write on the folding fan. Jia's unique skill is to write small characters on the folding fan, while Jia holds his breath and writes one by one. Jia also needs two fans with few words. After writing fine print for six or seven hours, Jia's eyes and legs can't stand it. Every day when he comes back to rent a house, his eyes are sour and watery, and he needs some eye drops. When he got home, his varicose legs could hardly stand.

Jia's hometown is Baishanfang Village, Qianyang County, Baoji City. 1982 8-year-old Jia was electrocuted by high voltage. His whole left arm is gone, and only half of his right hand is left. Therefore, Jia, who has not finished the first grade of primary school, can't go to school. Jia Yu 1992 began to practice calligraphy. At first many people objected, including his parents. Despite the opposition of his family, Jia went to Ann alone on 1995, and practiced calligraphy hard at Dongjie and the entrance of the academy to make a living by selling words. His flying head fine print is dignified and handsome. He became a member of Shaanxi Calligraphers Association five years ago and was called a half-arm calligrapher.

While writing at the entrance of the academy, Jia also met many calligraphy masters. The masters told him that if you want to write well, you must read, read and understand. Jia said: "I didn't even finish the first grade of primary school, so I couldn't understand it, let alone understand it." I only have to practice hard and improve my calligraphy by constantly posting. "
