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 disablbed 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?
