A Chinese artist named Ru Anting recently demonstrated his unusual talent for making calligraphy art by spraying his own tears onto a board covered with red paper. First he sucks up water through his nose, and then he sprays it out through his tear ducts. Ru Anting recently performed at the Lotus World Park in Shanshui city, Guangdong where he wrote four characters, "Fu Ru Dong Hai," which means "Fortune as vast as the sea."
Ru Anting discovered his unusual talent as a child. On one occasion when he swam, he swallowed water and accidentally discovered the water he swallowed could shoot out of his eyes. He said of his unexpected discovery, "My friends were all shocked to see it."
It took Ru Anting three years of intensive training in his adulthood to hone his skills so he could shoot out his tears accurately at distances of up to 10 ft. That's a good talent to market, especially since he lost his factory job back in the 1990s.
