Her plight would
have made a lesser person give
up, but Luo Fengzhi had the
love, courage and perseverance to move
forward in life despite her
disability.
Born armless, Luo
Fengzhi, 30, has proved that feet can
be capable alternatives. Luo, from
Taiyuan, capital of Shanxi province,
has been a subject of extensive
media coverage since she was in
primary school and her story has
been a source of inspiration to
many.
She became the focus
of the media again recently when
she became the life tutor of a
3-year-old, also born armless, abandoned
and then adopted in Taiyuan earlier
this year.
"I kept telling
people: It does not make sense
to complain about life. Even if
you are disabled, your life can
still be wonderful," she
says.
Life has never been
easy, but looking back, Luo says
she has survived, and experienced both
bitter and sweet moments with the
help and support of so many
kind people. She says she also
needs love, courage and perseverance
and that's what she hopes to
share, to inspire and encourage
others.
"I might not have
a life as splendid as many
aspire to, but I do have a
life that I enjoy," she says.
"I hope, through me they can
see the future of the child and
hold on to it," she says,
referring to the adoptive parents of
her little charge.
Luo, born
in Wucun village, Qingxu county in
Taiyuan, was abandoned by her
biological parents. She was abandoned
a second time by another family
who took her home before being
finally adopted by her current parents
who lived in the village
nearby.
"My mother told me
I barely survived the low temperatures
in April and there were already
ants in my belly when my uncle
took me home," she
says.
