Zhaojie Ping, 56, has become something of a celebrity for being able to thread needles with his feet . Zhaojie lost the use of his arms and became visually impaired as a child after suffering from several severe health problems including congenital rickets . Zhaojie, 56, is even able to light cigarettes with his feet . He is able to brush his hair by clutching the comb inbetween his toes . The agile 56-year-old is also able to put his glasses on by lifting them up to this face with his feet . He learned to use his left foot to write Chinese characters while at school in Luoyang City, Henan Province, in central China. The characters were so well drawn they were submitted regularly to local competitions where he won prizes for his skill. His feet have now become his hands in many other areas of his life, including washing, shaving, cooking and even eating -  he uses chopsticks held between his toes.
