Cleaning with one foot
Eating with one foot.
Despite the discomfort and distinct limit, he never stops learning
I'm happy to be alive.
The story of positive miraculous man, BeomSik, starts now.
We came to a university to meet the miraculous man.
He surely looks special even from far away.
While everyone's so focused on taking notes,
he's writing with his foot!
Wow... is that even possible..?
-Are you a student? -Yes.
I'm a senior of the Department of Industrial Welfare.
I saw you writing with your foot.
BeomSik Lee (52) Left foot is the only part that I can use.
A man who doesn't have both arms and one leg.
My leg is cut up to here.
He's wearing an artificial leg on his right side.
I lost my arms due to an accident, so I practiced writing with my foot a lot.
It's hard to imagine how hard it would have been
for him to be able to write with his toes.
He came back home after school.
BongDeok Kim (50) Wife
Did you study hard today?
Of course! I did.
I'll go change my clothes.
He comes out with his house wear.
Are you surprised?
I wear comfortable clothes at home.
I got involved in electric shock accident in November, 1985
I'm happy to be alive.
You will see a lot of scars here
The horrifying moment is carved on his body.
There's nothing that I can do with my 'arms'
If I had a bit of more arm parts... there would be more things that I could do
Though 'what if' makes him feel lamented, he doesn't lose energy.
He wipes the floor with one foot.
You help her cleaning?
I should if I don't want to end up on streets
Don't bother me. I'm working hard rn
He knows how to survive.
He knows how to be loved.
He even folds laundry
Dinner time
Yay, let's eat
How will he eat food alone?
He uses his foot to eat
I thought she would feed him...
You have to eat with your body. That's more delicious.
You can eat what you want and when you want.
He even uses chopsticks, too!!!
Your strong will is surely surprising and should be applauded
I've practiced for so many years. It was so hard to use chopsticks with my foot.
See? I can use it.
It's very hard.
You must have devoted everything here
To eat deliciously
Showing his love and thank to his wife ;)
What did he just do?
This is our way of showing love.
You look so happy together as discomfort is not a misfortune to you.
Next morning
Getting ready to depart
I'm going to school Be careful
Huh? You're taking a bus..?
Students should take a bus. and plus I can't grab a taxi.
I can't wave to grab a taxi
But.. what if there's no seat...
Thank god, there's a seat for you :')
I get very nervous when taking a bus. I try to balance with my one leg
I'm risking my life.
It's not over even after grabbing a seat.
He presses the bell with his mouth
He has to balance with his one leg in a shaky bus
Every day to school is a danger to him.
But he's popular in school!
He's a big brother in our department
I have to get along with them so that I don't get bullied
WHAT?
KICK!
That was good, eh?
OMG, you are literally good at everything
THEN
He fell on the ground as he lost his balance
You are hurt!
He smiles to make us feel better
Don't you have to go to hospital?
What time is it? I have to go to class, let's go.
Unlike surprised production crew, he went to listen to the lecture.
He studies so hard
Why did I skip classes to go to internet cafe.. omg
It isn't easy to study at school, is it?
It is, but I have to bear with it because I'm doing what I want.
Before having his solid heart, he had to fight with long despair
Sudden and despairing day
I didn't know what to do.
I felt sorry for myself.. myself when I was 22..
I was sorry for my own life.
I was thinking about when to die. I opened my eyes at dawn and it was snowing.
Looking at that snow at that time...
It was a wonderful moment.
It was a very ordinary day.
That scenery consoled him
I will try to study hard..and try to get a job
I just want to share my wife's burden
"I must stand up, I shouldn't be sitting like this."
"I can't be a burden to her. I must help her with burden."
His strong and firm will is shown here.
Aren't you tired?
I am but I must study. I'm a student.
I must study three times harder than the others
He's writing miracle today.
The more I study, the wider world I see.
You get more chances in the world if you study hard.
I want to live an ordinary life.
That's why I study.
The man who's been breaking his own limit, we met him again after 7 years.
