GoPro: A Blind Man and His Armless Friend Plant a Forest in China

Overcoming their physical challenges, an armless man and his blind best friend take action in preserving their environment by planting a forest of more than 10,000 trees in rural China. Like a classic fable, this inspirational story goes beyond pollution, climate control and Mother Nature; it's an epic story that proves anyone and everyone can make a real difference in the world.

[@josephchester8196]

[@Artomya]

[@athen1070]

SO TRUE LOL

[@Tosake]

"So let the generation after us, and everyone else, see what two handicap individuals have accomplished. Even after we're gone... they will see that a blind man and a armless man have left them a forest." ... I'm crying.

[@HermannOberg]

This is beautiful. The world needs more people with a mindset like these guys.

[@RacingBanana96]

Definitely

[@thedankoona_5854]

lol what no 2 arms and looking is more usefull as this

[@loversspit]

+MEe$ okay, you literally understood nothing. It's not about what they look like or whatever. They complete each other. They're each others eyes and arms, and as far as I know, there's people who have both arms and eyes and don't do anything like these two men do. They've been helping the world together since 2002, planting trees and caring about the environment. It doesn't matter what they're lacking, but what they offer.

[@lucien1995]

You already have a handycap reading......

[@izehacker6038]

+MEe$ Mindset, not body

[@DearAngelicaaa]

People like this remind me that there's still so much good in the world. There's hope. Be the change!

[@bubbleboyE40]

+Nikitoz9595 lmao

[@willhelmkirkpatricka4253]

Patrick Bateman Chill out man!

[@eliashanna2436]

Omg that ending... "Even after we're gone, they will see that a blind man and an arm-less man left them a forest"

[@YouOriginal]

That is the best GoPRo one yet.

[@jaymarshotit6382]

"I wanted to give up but my friend told me to be Alive means we have a purpose" I had tears come in this one.

[@shanjialiu3569]

I come from Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China. I'm very proud of these two old mans.

[@chainheart3]

"though we are limited physically, our spirit is limitless " awesome video, very inspiring

[@Schaaf]

Well done, GoPro. That was wonderful.

[@thebeaver8761]

This is one of the best videos I've ever watched.

[@kbbbbb]

I was very interestet to see the story behind these guys when I heard about them Thanks GoPro

[@donettalowe9673]

i love u guys so much. i wish someone loved me as much as u guys love eachother. u guys r just beautiful

[@swinglow6580]

You do have some one who loves you like that, just open your eyes and you'll see. Maybe not here physically but spiritually I can bet there is some one who is there looking over you.

[@swinglow6580]

+Leonis Bacher hmm, lovely.

[@z-rex5294]

+Leonis Bacher Are you meant to be funny?

[@donettalowe9673]

+Leonis Bacher did u just get hostile over God watching over you? weak! only real men believe in a higher power

[@donettalowe9673]

+Kristopher Workman 😏 u know what? Thank You, your right and i needed to be reminded of that. thank you.

[@Lucas-xy9fu]

I just want to slap my face every time I complain about my situation when I see this kind of people..

[@AKATEATime]

The best BFFs in the world.

[@swinglow6580]

This is absolutely beautiful, this has inspired me to go plant a tree or two with my wife and child.

[@EpicSauce12345]

This is absolutely amazing... So inspiring. Makes you realize that people are doing a lot more good than you with much less... I hop one day that I can do as much good as these two souls

[@isellmarijuana]

Touched my heart man. I wish them all the best in life!

[@zanecai0]

These two men deserve Nobel peace prize!

[@wotcherfaz]

Planting a tree is one of the most rewarding things one can do. And these two guys are doing it despite such major handicaps. Humbling..

[@look2much2]

That's just trippy as all get out. Amazing.

[@vegtopia241]

Their spirit is so inspiring. Wonderful story and friendship.

[@nightscene18]

So much respect for these guys..

[@coppertranslayer1358]

"You'll be my arms, I'll be your eyes" and they brought tears to my eyes.

[@Bromancer]

2 titans, broken, but never defeated.

[@alexpagodar6382]

Im so amazed and proud

[@zx1986]

感謝 GoPro 為他們做的記錄片！

[@d.y.358]

At one point they ask, "How can we stay useful to society?" Putting your community first before yourself--that's what is beautiful!

[@AussieBrasil1980]

How can people dislike this!! This is beautiful. The world needs more people with a mindset like these guys!

[@Oz-ir3fc]

"So let the generation after us, and everyone else, see what two handicap individuals have accomplished. Even after we're gone...they will see that a blind man and an armless man have left them a forest." Non-stop tears from how powerful this simple quote is. No matter what it is, there's always a way to help and there's no such thing as something stopping you.

[@DunerecordsGent]

I was 4 minutes far into watching this video and I was allready crying ..they remind of my loving father and his loving brother...two wonderful , humble men.

[@gagedegaetano6072]

Is the sky always like that........... Omfg what good people.

[@EntityNTT]

yes the sky in china is always grey

[@gagedegaetano6072]

+RaisuFX oh shit

[@CurtisAyukawa]

In Beijing they sometimes display the sunrises and sunsets on big panoramic LED screens because you can't actually see the real thing through the smog.

[@doejoan2542]

Usually in the north part Of China. I am from the south east coast Fujian Province and the emvironment is quite good.

[@wsteve]

OMG. This reply is full of scientific wisdom.

[@pang-ngiavang1956]

This is by far one of the most beautiful friendship on earth and the most amazing story of adversity. If you think your life is hard, just watch this video! Thank you for sharing their story!

[@SeaToSkyImages]

Humbled by the pure spirit of these two. Can you imagine if the world was as selfless as these two men? Using their purpose that keeps them going to provide a better future for the generations ahead. Thanks for giving a tiny corner of the internet to these two fantastic humans.

[@mmca2]

It's such a strong cocktail of feelings when watching these people. I can only admire them for the strong spirit. As strong as I think of myself, I'm not sure I would be that strong. Makes you remember that we have to be grateful that we do not have their limitations. We often take for granted so many things...

[@vijaymooloo8279]

Faith in humanity restored.👌

[@kasoyne]

Это просто нереально... Молодцы! Есть цель - нет непреодолимых препятствий! Дай Бог им здоровья!)))

[@bernardshawgeorge7910]

很朴实的两个人！看了很感动！

[@timurziyayev2613]

Сила духа и доброе сердце. Настоящие мужики! Спасибо вам.

[@athen1070]

i love how they are so unique in so many ways this friendship can never be broken " You'll be my arms, I'll be your eyes"

[@alehax27]

I had no idea you could grow trees from branches

[@jonnywaselectric]

its called "cuttings", you can try it with different plants around your house, make a nice clean cut with scissors and put it in a glass of water and watch little roots may form then plant in soil

[@portlandplaceNL]

some cuttings will prefer going straight into the ground

[@coreysmith7102]

ha, aren't you glad you glad you went to public school?

[@Leo-rm1qn]

Adventure Biscuits why say you glad twice?

[@BananaMike780]

wont work with all species but yeah

[@AngryPorkWonton]

Why would someone ever dislike something as beautiful as this? I aspire to do something great for the world even if its as simple as planting a tree like these two men

[@shanemeenaghan4689]

"If we work together physically and unite spiritually, we can achieve anything." Wise words to live by. This story was beautiful.

[@nathannguyen8826]

This is just great. Nothing is better than these two men.

[@jeffhsu7027]

If two Chinese men, one blind, the other armless, are capable of achieving such compassion towards environmental preservation, what's your excuse? JFC, this guys calligraphy with his feet is better than mine with my hands!

[@shady3165]

I can't even keep a plant alive for a week but these guys have made a forest...damn RESPECT

[@manueljulianobando]

the power of the spirit, those two men are a example for all of us, like they said, the spirit has not limits.

[@rafi974bnc]

"You'll be my arms , I'll be your eyes" . . Two great people .

[@zavidlan6166]

Great story, more like this please

[@zavidlan6166]

And what's ironic is that all those trees are planted by armless and blinded men

[@zavidlan6166]

+Zavid Lan don't get me wrong this is still a really incredible and inspiring story

[@mr46196]

what is the irony. I dont get it?

[@yuji1134]

+mr46196 These two is disabled physically yet they're the ones planting trees. Most average humans can't even do this.

[@mr46196]

Inhale Green Exhale Dream well i guess i just dont see it. But still I have much respect for them.

[@Bonethefox]

this is the type of energy that transcends across humanity. this video makes me feel human again. that raw feeling of pure hope, joy, and passion.

[@stanferguson3715]

I love those short documentary's! Keep it up! And these guys are amazing!

[@marcelocm07]

The world needs more people like you two. China needs more people like you two... I send nothing but good vibes your way! Keep up the good work!

[@johnnnewmex]

Great inspiring video. Makes me think of what we take for granted in the United States and how you can create something wonderful with almost no resources. These men are amazing.

[@ruslanakhpashev5811]

They have an indestructible spirit. It makes wonder about people like this, that they have a stronger spirit than most.

[@argoborn1935]

Огромное спасибо этим людя что вы есть и делаете благое дело

[@revcounters]

ich bewundere euch beiden wie 2 heilige. ihr hebt euch stark von der masse ab weil ihr in eurem gefühl seid und viel für eure mitmenschen und unwelt getan habt

[@beevictoria4624]

[@hollandwebb3431]

No one should dislike, for all the things these people have done. These things are very important to the world!

[@jiafoto2046]

I'm Chinese, living in Australia for over 10 years. I'm so touched from this video. Thanks!

[@GoBatakTV]

This is so beautiful.

[@christophermatarazzo8862]

Whoever freaking dislikes this is.....

[@mechanicalslrlounge5138]

Has no soul. 12 people are without souls.

[@MajesticSkywhale]

[@shady3165]

[@DanielleMaioli]

+ROBLOXER BENEBOY fbvcyth

[@NeOCsati]

Probably because of industrial pollution

[@BigBawzaRitchie]

What a heart warming video "You'll be my arms I'll be your sight" lovely.

[@ocediis]

This may be the best story of friendship in the face of adversity that I've ever seen.

[@almostprofessional5374]

It just shows that there is so much good in this world. Such a shame that we get blinded by all the negativity. Bless them.

[@Osprey1994]

These guys are amazing this moved me immensely I was absolutely stunned when I saw the island they planted. This is proof that there are amazing people out there they may be hard to find with how densely populated the world has become but they are out there... Thanks to technology they get the spotlight they deserve to help spread their message.

[@fischer789]

меня тронули эти двое, достойные представители человеческой вида:)

[@joshuah47]

That last line about the blind and armless leaving behind a forest.. WHO IS CUTTING THESE ONIONS ;__;

[@GoldenMonsterHD026]

Respect for them!

[@xcrash3606]

I know someone who lost their leg in a motorcycle accident and still lived on to inspire! Love this story to!

[@THED3FUZER1908]

Jealous twats

[@saigefang9932]

Adversity makes you stronger. Overcoming adversity is the most beautiful thing that can happen to someone. Because before you have successfully overcome that adversity, the hope, faith, and hard work make you strong mentally, and physically. I hope these two endearing men can inspire us that there is always going to be a way. Help us to be brave and strong. To have hope and faith in ourselves and humanity.

[@joen3992]

what two beautiful people wishing only to leave a forest for others.....what spirit

[@eternalspace668]

This is probably the most emotional pro cam video I've ever seen..

[@greenblade13]

I've watched this with a smile throughout the video. There are so many wonderful and unique friendships in this world which makes me realise; there's more good in most of us than all that shit we see on the television day in and day out. Keep these videos coming GoPro!

[@Dewoy1]

That relationship is one of a kind.

[@alaeddinhere]

now I feel much worse about myself. These guys are my heroes! Their story have definitely touched some of us out here and I hope it will change some mindsets.

[@RA-mg7yl]

Jane Goodman talks about these two guys in her book Hope, she is so right! This is so inspiring! We can make such a difference in the world we just need TO DO.

[@leonardpearlman4017]

What a story! Those are really heroes, I can't believe what they have done through sheer will and determination. Not even a grant! Just go out and cut some branches... Unbelievable. I complain so much more about so much less, give up for almost no reason. Really amazing. I'll never forget this. Also, you have to respect a blind guy swinging a sickle... maybe from a distance!

[@davemakesitmove]

Wow....now that's what humanity and spirit is all about!!!!

[@barryjoy]

令人振奋的平凡人，这能让我们深刻的反思自己每天的行为，我们需要这样朴实的人，他们才是最美的！

[@mentoskentos]

They should be a great example to all of us who has a better home, has a better bed and all in all has better life and can use our body. They should be an inspiration to us that even though they are handicapped they can still do better things. Our life is precious and we must not neglet it.

[@szxnv]

I watched this years ago, it was so impactful and i go back to it every once in a while to recall the importance of people like this and if these people can do it, what can i do to help

[@K-espresso]

Same thoughts here.

[@MyKamal2009]

Wow no excuses for able bodied people we need more people like this

[@salahb8020]

Everyday we open two precious gifts and we must thank god for that: Our eyes and also our hands, so please stop complaining about things you have and things you don't, because life is too short to complain about.

[@BruceMoolee]

This was one of the most inspiring thing ever. Who would dislike something like this??

[@linety007]

Huge respect for these guys .

[@atadbitnefarious1387]

This video about to make a grown ass man cry lol. That was beautiful.

[@HockeyTunes]

This seems like solid evidence that there are people who dislike videos for no reason, they just do.

[@jacklawson2474]

The dexterity of the guy's toes is creeping me out.

[@cloutmaster965]

people learn to improvise, some blind ppl can see with sound and have enhanced touch, people without arms learn to use their feet.

[@tapiopelkonen2981]

Life lessons: you adapt or you die.

[@Survivaurbatchev]

are you writing this with your feet? ^^

[@Survivaurbatchev]

The Shishlord Haha nice! keep going on bro

[@777bunji]

Better than all of us, they have a clear picture why they have their life... This video really makes us happy we still have these great people in China!

[@jai6665]

If these two magnificent, very abled "disabled" humans can do this much and make a difference in the environment surrounding them imagine what we able-bodied beings can do if we really tried!? I wish them great health so that they may continue this beautiful labor of love.

[@Kimlur]

Theese two guys diserve to become legends!

[@DaveDalomba]

Faith in humanity.... restored

[@Istvan4331]

Truly an amazing story of what human beings can accomplish if they are determined despite all obstacles. I've helped to plant many trees in my life, probably about 17 to 18,000 in total, but of course the planting we did was nothing as compared to the difficulties encountered by these two heroic people. Especially striking was how a man with no sight could manage to climb a tree in order to obtain cuttings for planting. I hope that his video is seen by many and that at least a few people will be moved to send some financial aid to help these wonderful people accomplish even more.
