Now he is the only one who runs his smallholding of farmland and raises a flock of 24 sheep, two buffalos and four hens.

Xingyin, who feeds his mother with his mouth and his nimble toes, said, “I can’t leave my mother at home alone, especially not in her old age. I may not have hands, but I have a pair of good feet.”

After a series of photographs depicting Chen spoon-feeding his mother emerged, he has become an example to follow and a hero of the Chinese and the international media.
