In China’s Guizhou Province, in a small Tujia ethnic village lives a young woman without fingers. But she doesn’t let that get in the way of her writing, cooking or cross-stitching.
在中国贵州省，一个小小的土家族村，住着一位年轻没有手指的女子。但她并未让没有手指妨碍她写作、烹饪或刺绣。

24-year-old Peng Jianya lost her hands in an open-stove fire as a young girl, and the family was unable to afford surgery. With extreme persistence and the encouragement of her teachers, she learned how to hold a pen with her arms and write just the same as other kids.
24岁的彭健雅，还是小女孩时，在一次火炉打开造成的火灾中失去双手，当时家庭负担不起手术费用。在老师极度的坚持和鼓励下，她学会如何用手臂握笔，及如同其它小孩一样的写字。

[Peng Jianya, Fingerless Artist]:
“When I was a child, I was unable to hold chopsticks. My parents taught me for a long time. It was really difficult, but I overcame it. It dawned on me that one has to put great efforts into what one is doing."
无指艺术家彭健雅说：
“当我还是个小孩，我无法握住筷子。我的父母教了我很长一段时间。这真的很难，但我克服了。它使我明白，一个人必须对所做的事，尽最大的努力。”

After marrying at the age of 18, Peng wanted to help her now family of four make a living. She decided to take up cross-stitching, but it was no easy feat. Her first piece was immensely difficult, but things got easier with practice and time. Now, Peng can make a stitch in less than five seconds, and reportedly, she completes works faster than your average artisan with hands.
18岁结婚后，彭想帮现在有四位成员的家庭赚钱。她决定开始刺绣，但这不是简单的技艺。她的第一件作品非常的困难，但在不断练习下，事情变得简单许多。现在，她可以5秒内完成一针。据说，她完成的作品比一般有手的技工还要快呢。

[Peng Jianya, Fingerless Artist]:
“I will gather a few other people to embroider the beautiful landscape of our hometown as a souvenir and lasting memory for tourists. At the same time, we can earn more money."
无指艺术家彭健雅说：
“我会召集其他人绣我们家乡美丽的风景，给游客当作纪念品及持续记忆。同时，我们可以赚更多的钱。”

An increasing number of tourists are now traveling Peng’s hometown to see her amazing skill.
现在有越来越多的游客，到彭健雅的家乡旅游，目睹她惊人的技能。
