for a picture in Yong Ji county,
Jilin province, on
September 25, 2012. Chinese farmer Sun, who lost his
forearms in a dynamite fishing accident 32 years
ago, could not afford to buy prosthetics. He spent
two years guiding his two nephews to build him
prostheses from scrap metal, plastic and rubber.
Over the years, Sun and his nephews have built about
300 prosthetic limbs for people in need, charging
3000 RMB ($476) each. (Reuters/Sheng Li)
