Here is an interview with a painter. Read and choose the best.
Reporter: Mr. Shum, you were one of Taiwan’s most outstanding youths last year. Why was that?
Mr. Shum: Well, I can tell you that there are two reasons. First, I am a painter. Second, and more important reason is I am handicapped﹙残疾的﹚. I have no arms and only one leg.
Reporter: Well, how do you paint then if you’ve got no arms? Do you use your foot?
Mr. Shum: Hah! For some handicapped people, it’s true and they are able to use their feet. No, I use my mouth. I put my paintbrush or my crayons or pencils or whatever I am using in my mouth. I hold it firmly in my teeth and paint or draw like that. It was a little strange for me at first, but it quickly became very easy.
Reporter: I know you feel that you are first a painter and only secondly that you are a disabled person, but can we talk first about your handicap?
Mr. Shum: Well, in fact I think of myself firstly as a person, secondly as a painter and thirdly as someone with a physical handicap. Can I say that I am not happy with the word “handicapped”? I am a popular painter because my paintings are good, not because they were painted by a handicapped person. “handicapped” means you can’t do anything. It is difficult for me to do some things like getting dressed.
Reporter: Were you born with your handicap?
Mr. Shum: No. An accident happened to me when I was 15 years old. After that I became depressed﹙沮丧﹚and even tried to end my life, but my mother was always there for me.
