He makes chalk masterpieces on city streets and makes enough money to travel to other places to exhibit his talent.
Cong lost his left leg to cancer when he was just 16, but he did not let that unfortunate incidence break him down. Instead, he made the brutal blow his way to impressive art. He has drawn Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” more than 300 times. In order to improve his level of chalk drawing, he makes sure to visit the art museum of every city he traveles to.
