Chen Siyuan, a young translator from Handan, China’s Hebei province, has the incredibly ability to write with both hands atthe 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 highschool, I unconsciously wrote with both hands while trying to finish my homework ina hurry,” Chen told People’s Daily Online. ”Myclassmates were curious and tried to imitateme, but none of them succeeded.”
