Xiao Meng – a 14-year-old Chinese boy who always makes others gasp in amazement with his giant legs
No other pair of shoes can fit those oversized feet. Not only that, I am often teased by my friends with countless nicknames.
When he was born, little Xiao Meng suffered from a rare genetic mutation that caused his feet to grow abnormally large. However, the boy’s family was too poor to cover treatment costs. That’s why my feet keep getting bigger with time.
Her father, Mr. Meng Zhaoguang, said: “We are a normal family and it is really sad to see him in such pain. However, we don’t have enough money to go to the doctor.”
Meanwhile, little boy Xiao Meng expressed: “I like going to school but every time I walk it is very painful. I can’t walk fast and participate in many games. Sometimes the children even call me many different names and they don’t know that it’s cruel.”
However, luck smiled on Xiao when Shanghai Children’s Hospital (China) decided to operate on her for free, after a campaign by teachers as well as support from the Chinese media. Quoc.
First, doctors will plan to cut off the oversized growth on her foot and it is expected to take half a year for it to recover.
Now the boy is being promised a new life after appearing on local media and receiving a lot of donations.
Meanwhile, the team of doctors at Shanghai Children’s Hospital (Eastern China) is hoping to succeed in this case.
Dr. Tang Yujin is very optimistic: “We can treat this disease, and when it is stable, we will reduce the size of the foot to a level that looks normal.”
