Abstract

The author was born with a limp in his right leg due to the aftereffects of childhood palsy. Although she was teased by her friends and felt frustrated, she overcame her handicap with her innate cheerfulness and took over her father's company and made it grow. One day, while flying around the world, he developed the "Swanee Bag," which can be carried on a plane and can also be used to support the body, based on a large trunk with wheels he saw in New York. He also has four branches in China.
