Chinese woman can write with both hands simultaneously in different languages

A woman from north China's Hebei province has revealed a unique talent years after accidentally discovering it in high school: the ability to write with both hands at once.



Chen Siyuan, a 24-year-old resident of the city of Handan, said her gift came not from hours of practice, but the need to finish her homework on time.

"When I was in high school, I unconsciously wrote with both hands while trying to finish my homework in a hurry," Chen recalled.

"My classmates were curious and tried to imitate me, but none of them succeeded," she said. Chen, who later obtained a college degree in English, can even write Chinese with one hand and English with the other.
