Dong Zhijun (L) encourages his nervous fiancé Yuan Wanyu as the disfigured girl is about to take the first cosmetic surgery in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, Oct. 19, 2010. Dong Zhijun, a 23-year-old from a remote county named Tai'an in northeast China's Liaoning Province, was born with congenital rickets. Suffering from the tragic disease, Zhijun, dubbed "Mini Boy" or "Shorty" , is only 80 centi-meters in height. Wanyu, 21, was accidentally burned to great disfigurement when she was a one-year-old baby. She survived with no fingers in the left hand and nose burned off. For 20 years, Wanyu had been unable to close her eyes due to the disfigurement. [Xinhua] |
