Tang Manxia, who lives in Changsha, Hunan province, has been given the nickname “belly sewing sister” on social media thanks to her way of working, reported by Dami Video.

Tang, 42, was paralysed in a 2018 accident, the nature of which was not revealed. Since then, she has had to rely on the wheelchair to move around.

She was bedridden for two years and was in very low spirits until a friend who helped her move around persuaded her to come out of her “dark period”.

“My friend told me that I should not be stuck in my own world any longer. She told me that while my legs could not work, my brain did,” Tang recalled.
