Huang Guofu from Chongqing, China lost his arms because of an electrical shock at the age of 4, but that didn’t stop him from drawing. At age 12 he started to learn how to paint with his mouth and feet.

“God might have closed my door. But my window was left open, allowing me to make a living and even feel happy and content. I’d say I still appreciate what God has given me.” Huang Guofu

While celebrating this courageous artist, let’s not forget his fellow countryman, artist Ai Weiwei who has been detained for being out spoken about the actions of the Chinese Government.
