Since his hobby is calligraphy, he has developed the ability to write Chinese characters with his tongue.

"I thought, since my tongue is very agile, why not let it write characters the way hands do? I want to develop my own special calligraphy," he said.

Zhang has been demonstrating his new skills on the sidewalk of Xinmin street, to a lot of attention and applause, reports Sanqin City News.

Zhang explained: "After a shower, I was making faces at myself in the mirror, and surprisingly, I found my tongue could reach my nose.

"I don't think my tongue is longer than others, it just has an inborn capability," he said.
