Huang Guofu was born in 1970 in Chongqing, southwest China. Unfortunately, at the age of 4, he suffered a high-voltage electric shock, resulting in the loss of both arms. Despite this adversity, he began attending school at the age of 12 and learned to write and paint using his feet.

In 1997, 27-year-old Huang Guofu started experimenting with painting using his mouth, and after years of dedication and practice, he became proficient in this skill. Today, he has established his own calligraphy and painting studio in Chongqing, where he has trained over 60 apprentices.

Huang's story is a testament to resilience and the unwavering spirit to overcome life's challenges. What's even more inspiring is his strong belief in spreading positivity to others, especially within the disabled community, to help them live with dignity.
