A Chinese woman born with abnormal hands and feet has wowed doctors with her progress.
Despite being born with feet that face backwards, Wang Fang of Chongqing, China has defied the odds by leading a normal life.
Doctors initially feared that Wang would not be able to walk properly because of her condition.
But the waitress, now in her 30s, says she doesn't even see herself as disabled.

She said: "I can run faster than most of my friends and have a regular job as a waitress in the family restaurant. There is no reason to class me as disabled."
Wang, who has a son with normal feet, added: "I can walk as well as anyone else and even run faster than them. I'm like everyone else - except of course that I put my shoes on backwards."
Wang is not the only person to overcome a rare disability to lead a normal life.
Brazilian man Claudio Vieira de Oliveira became an inspirational public speaker despite being born with his head upside down.
After doctors told his mother he would not survive Claudio now receives speaking invitations from all over the world.
