“Genius?” A 12-year-old repairman in Wuhan becomes the “Master” of driving the car –From Netease

On October 14, someone was shocked to find there was a car repairman in Wuhan [Hubei Province] who is only 12 years old.

Heh, don’t take things lightly, even though at such a tender age, this is already the second year since he has worked as a repairman

Not only does he have a lot of experience under his belt, but also he can repair a car solely by himself. The adults who don’t know the problems often consult with him.

Errr, moreover, he even can drive the cars he repaired, his “experienced” driving skills stunned those car owners who first felt anxious about him.

Wang Haofeng Focus made the observation nearby for a whole day. This little car repair master busily worked in the greasy oil/dust the who day and he still needed to do the overtime work at night. Each time he received the repair fees, he gave all the money to the boss [of the car repair shop]. It was as if [the little boy] was the impressive money-making machine for his boss. It was told the boss only gave him the meals but no salary.

Sigh! Despite of the genius [of the boy], it still makes people feel sentimental. The small kid has become a repair master/car-driving “genius,” will it be good if he grows out as an illiterate?!Can the child’s tender hands tigthen  components of the vehicle? (more…)

At about 10pm, our tourists were recommended to do shoppings at a grand shoping mall. When leaving the back exit, we ran across some kids who were polishing the shoes. The oldest among them were just over 10, while the youngest was not older than 3.  They used a begging tone to call “uncle, auntie” — 2 yuan once to polish your leather shoes. Many tourists couldn’t heartily have them polish thoroughly, but just  let them make some simple polishings. Some customers paid 10 Yuan, some 5 Yuan, and no one gave 2 Yuan. Glancing at those children, all tourists felt a sigh! Now those photos were shared with everybody here, they were taken at the night. Though a bit blur, they were absolutely true!

Note: These photos were leaked onto the Chinese bulletins in April, 2009. A lot of Chinese netizens believed these children probably were trafficked ones and there must have some masterminders behind. Yet it seemed there was almost no mainstream media reported on the story. Later,  there were also no updated individual journarist’s info about the kids, hope they are ok now! (more…)

Picture: Xiaoxia’s left foot instep is much swollen, she has to wear a self-made flip

At Honglai Town of Nan’an [Fujian Province], the reporter met up with Xiao Xia [pseudonymous]. She sported a head of short hair and her face was delicate. But her left leg was apparently different from that of an average person, with the swollen left foot instep which was about 6cm thick. Moreover, her left leg swell completely between the ankle to the thigh. The upper and lower part of the problematic leg were almost the same round, but more thicker than an adult’s leg.

“Do you feel painful?” asked the reporter who touched Xiaoxia’s leg of no elasticity. “Nope”, replied she, shaking the head. According to the mother Ms. Huang, Xiaoxia’s two legs were of different sizes at her birth and several days later the left one was doulbe sized than the right counterpart. Ms Huang said the family members very were all healthy and did not have any hereditary disease. She believed Xiaoxia’s “illness” could probably be due to a medication during her gestation. ” When eight months pregnant, I once had the intravenous infusion in a small clinic, which possibly caused the syndrome[of then unborn XiaoXia).

Right after Xiaoxia was born, the life of Ms. Huang and husband Mr. Dai was totally changed. They often carried the kid to seek the treatment for her in the general hospitals of various cities. Ms. Huang said, these years, they had taken their daughter to see doctors in Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Xiaomen and Shanghai. Last year, a hospital in Xiamen diagnosed Xiaoxia with the lynmphedema and advised to do surgeries. Yesterday, during a call, this Xiamen hospital's  Dr. Qi said, he was always concerned with Xiaoxia's condition, "she really was diagnosed with the (lower limbs) lynmphedema [wikipedia, medscape.com], but because her illness was congenital, the cause of disease remained unclear, there are risks to undergo the surgeries”.

According to Mr. Dai, if to cure her daughter’s illness, several operations are to be needed. But because of the concerns for risks that may arise from the surgeries, so far he dares not to send Xiaoxia to the operation table. Furthermore, he is rely on repairing the motorcycles to make money and his wife works outside all the year around, the surgery expenses are a problem.

This year Xiaoxia is 5 years old, still attending the kindergarten. “Sometime she told to us, she wanted to be same with other schoolmates, to dance freely.” Ms. Huang said. Once her legs were exposed under the sunlight, Xiaoxia would get a fevor. “Let alone dancing, she even dares not go out see the sun ah.”

This happened somewhere in China–a driver ferried 7 riders including 4 kids using his motocyle taxi.  Needless to say, it’s too dangrous for all of those eight persons, especially the infant who was carried in the sling on his mother’s back! If they were struck by an accident, the consequences would be disastrous beyond imagination.  Source: Chongqing Business Journal
