Xiang Liping, a 28-year-old mother from China has recently been placed under the bright spotlight of the internet for a powerful image shared on social media. The captivating photo shows the mother breastfeeding her daughter. While that doesn’t sound like anything out of the ordinary in today’s world, this mother’s photo is particularly inspiring because Liping has no arms.
When Liping was four-years-old she was struck by lightning. The tragic incident resulted in doctors amputating both of Liping’s arms. From a young age, she knew she would be faced with adversity, but at no point in this dedicated, hard working mum’s life has she shied away from a challenge.
