Chinese Girl Can Write with Both Hands at the Same Time, in Different Languages!

Ni Hao! How's it going, eh? Pour some Oolong Tea into your mug for a change, fix it up the way up the way you like and grab hold of a virtual treat. Hey...remember the old joke, "I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous!"? Well listen to what this young lady can do...

Chen Siyuan, a young translator from Handan, China’s Hebei province, has the incredibly ability to write with both hands at the same time. Even more impressive is that fact that she can write vertically with one hand and horizontally with the other, or in two different languages.

In this age of technology, writing with both hands is not as valuable a skill as it once was, but that doesn’t make 24-year-old Chen Siyuan’s ability any less remarkable. This young English translator has been wowing onlookers with her amazing talent of writing with both hands simultaneously, in two different languages (Chinese and English).

You’d be tempted to think this kind of unique capacity requires years of practice, but Chen says she discovered her ability completely by accident, during her high-school years. She was overwhelmed by the quantities of English homework, but found that she could complete respective tasks much faster by writing with both hands at the same time. ”When I was in high school, I unconsciously wrote with both hands while trying to finish my homework in a hurry,” Chen told People’s Daily Online. ”My classmates were curious and tried to imitate me, but none of them succeeded.”

I have heard it said that the only reason we can't write with our other hand is because we never try. I've tried it and though it is difficult, with a little practice, I believe we could do a credible job at it...if there was any reason to do so, I mean.

See ya, eh!
