Chinese Man Builds His Own Bionic Hands from Scrap Metal After Losing Limbs in Explosion
Sun lives in Guanmashan, Jilin province, northern China, and desperately needed to be able to work on his family’s farm. ”I survived but I had no hands and I couldn’t afford to buy the false hands the hospital wanted me to have – so I decided to make my own,” he explained to the Daily Mail.
