AÂ man who had half his body amputated after being run over by a truck has not only recovered but opened his own bargain supermarket – called the Half Man-Half Price Store.
Peng Shuilin, 37, stunned surgeons with his recovery after almost two years of painful surgeries at Bujie Hospital in Shenzhen, southern China.
Peng Shuilin is being promoted as a role model for people who have to undergo amputations after making a remarkable recovery. At just 2ft 7ins tall, he gets around in a wheelchair and gives lectures on recovering from disability.
“We’ve just given him a check up and he is fitter than most men his age. He is amazing and hte only person in the world to survive having so much of his body amputated,” said Bujie Hospital vice president Lin Liu.
“He had good care but his secret is his cheerfulness – nothing ever gets him down,” he added.
