Han Dan lost her arms at the age of 6, but she gradually managed to write and swim. When she was 27, Han got married and started her own business. As an entrepreneur, she has overcome hardships, gaining over one million followers on the Internet. As a mother of two, she takes good care of her children and is about to give birth to her third one.

However, Han finds it difficult to meticulously look after her children because she could only feed the children while holding them with her feet and she has to try to braid her daughter's hair using feet as well. As a matter of fact, the children think their mother outstanding. "She is capable of doing everything with her feet!" Han's children said.
