Watch Cao Cự Hùng at work:
Mr. Cao Cự Hùng (born in 1980), residing in Hamlet 9, Đông Thọ, Diễn Thọ Commune (Diễn Châu District), was disabled after an illness at the age of three. His legs suffered muscle atrophy, always contracted and unable to straighten. He learned to move using his hands, determined to overcome his disability by learning various trades to earn a living. Finally, he found motorcycle repair to be the most suitable profession. For the past few years, he has rented a kiosk near his house to run a repair shop. (Photo: Công Kiên)
