Took this using my 3GS in Shenzhen on 7/1. This is unedited footage. The man was selling his calligraphy art for 40 RMB (about $7 USD). In Chinese, his story is that he is a decorated ex-soldier in the China army and married with family. He was electrocuted in a factory accident and lost his two arms. I could see visible scars all across his back.

If you are in Shenzhen, just swing by Hua Qiao Qeng shopping area and he was very close to the Nico Department Store on that street (when I saw him). I did get to chat with him and he was a very friendly and hardworking guy.

  • Once again, seeing the effect of war has left my heart wavering with sorrow. To think that what I currently have now is not enough, when compared to this person, I'm living in luxury and he is a hard working farmer.

    My hearts goes out to him, and I wish him happy in life. I will definitely go Shenzhen when I go to China.

  • where in Shenzhen is this?
