Man Has No Money for Surgery, Saws Off Own Diseased Right Leg At Home

A metal saw, a small fruit knife, and a back-scratcher wrapped with a towel. Baoding [in Hefei province] tough guy Zheng Yanliang used these three simple tools and sawed off his entire right leg, which was suffering some strange ailment, at home on his bed. He bit off four molars enduring the pain. Today, the same strange ailment spreads pitilessly on his left leg. Zheng Yanliang hopes that kind-hearted people can give help, cure the strange disease that torments him, and provide him with a prosthetic limb so that he can once again support his wife and daughter.

Rural tough guy suddenly contracts strange disease

47-year-old Zheng Yanliang is a villager of Dongzang village, Xingyuan county, Baoding city. Before contracting the strange disease, Zheng Yanliang was the backbone of his family and a well-known tough guy in the village. His family has 4 mu of farmland, planting in the spring and harvesting in the fall. When the fields lie fallow, he goes to the nearby brick kiln factory to work, without fear for any kind of hard and laborious work. On 2012 January 28, on the afternoon of the 6th day of the first month in the lunar new year, Zheng Yanliang first felt pain in his abdomen and then quickly migrated to his two legs. With slicing pain, he shed beads of sweat. After managing to walk to the village clinic and getting an injection of painkillers, Zheng Yanliang’s two legs could no longer stand. Afterward, he was taken to several major hospitals in Baoding and Beijing for examination, ultimately being diagnosed with massive arterial thrombosis/embolism in both legs of unknown cause. On angiographs, all of the arteries in his right leg and all of the arteries below the knee in his left leg have disappeared.

After the doctors of multiple major hospitals reviewed the diagnosis results, they all said this strange disease is very rarely seen in the entire country, so far is untreatable, only conservative treatment methods can be used, and determined that Zheng Yanliang at most won’t live more than another month. Here, to see the doctors, the family’s savings had already been used up. Without a choice, Zheng Yanliang was brought back home. Upon thinking back on all this, his wife Shen Zhonghong collapsed in tears: Over the span of a little over three months, Zheng Yanliang has been tormented by pain to the point of fuzzy consciousness, screaming so that his surrounding neighbors cannot sleep. Regardless of whether it is the dark night or the bright day, he can only lean or sit, unable to lie flat. For other people, one dose of strong pain-killers a day is effective, but even 3 doses a day is ineffective for her husband. Several days later, bruises began appearing all over her husband’s right leg and then the skin turned black and began to ulcerate and fester all over, with even the bone frighteningly exposed.

Tough guy saws off leg at home

Zheng Yanliang says that not only did his ulcerating right leg completely lose its ability to walk, the ulcerating parts continuously spread upward, thus giving him the idea of amputation. However at the time, simply eating had become a problem for the family and they simply hadn’t the money to go to the hospital for the surgery. He had also asked the doctor of the village clinic to help him amputate, but the doctor simply didn’t dare do so, so he began thinking of amputating on his own.

At a little past 11 on the morning of 2012 April 14, Zheng Yanliang had his exhausted wife who had been taking care of him day after day go to the western bedroom to sleep and rest. Then he found a red plastic fruit knife, a metal saw, and then wrapped a towel around a back-scratcher he put into his mouth and bit on. There, on the bed in the eastern bedroom, he began administering amputation surgery on himself.

Over 20 minutes later, when Shen Zhonghong returned to the eastern bedroom after awaking from a nightmare, she was dumbstruck by the scene: Her husband’s right leg had been sawed off about 15 centimeters from the hip, and the metal saw used for the amputation had snapped into two from the excessive force, and on the table were 4 molars that had been bitten off. Fortunately, because of the thrombosis, there wasn’t much blood during the amputation.

After the amputation, the festering of his Zheng Yanliang’s right leg finally stopped, but the strange disease began to spread on his left leg. The festering on his left leg spread from his ankle all the way up to about 10 centimeters below his knee. To save money, Zheng Yanliang came up with a crude method for coping with the festering: First using large amounts of iodine disinfectant to clean, then wrapping with gauze applied with erythromycin stearate, and then tying infant diapers on the outside to absorb the pus. However, even if the medication is changed two to three times a day, it still couldn’t stop the upward spread of the festering. Large amounts of pain-killers likewise could not stop the acute pain produced at the festering parts.

Hoping to get an artificial limb

Zheng Yanliang says his wife has diabetes and heart disease, and in addition to taking care of him, she also has to tend to their four mu of fields. Their 17-year-old daughter had long ago dropped out of school to work at a shoe factory, and is the family’s only source of income. As a man in his prime years, he is not only unable to support the family, he has also become a burden to the family, and this makes him extremely sad. “Other than my two legs, there is not a single problem with my body,” Zheng Yanliang says. Even in his dreams, he wants to get back up and support his wife, daughter, family. The pain of sawing off his leg was nothing to him and what worries him the most now is how his family can survive. He hopes there can be kind-hearted people who can give help, help him cure the strange disease he suffers from, and then install a prosthetic limb. That way, he’ll be able to take care of himself as well as do some simple manual labor and support his family.

I love my country.

 A 21 ans, Ecclésiaste a un rêve dans la vie devenir le nouveau Will Smith, une star hollywoodienne. 3 ans déjà que le jeune homme s’accroche à son rêve. Pour cela il a tourné en 2010 dans un film au canada financé avec le pécule que ses parents ont économisé pour lui. Mais il ne s’arrête pas là. Ecclésiaste s’habille en costume 3 pièces noir en toutes circonstances (supermarché, dans la rue, en cuisinant……) sans jamais lâcher sa canne de dandy, le symbole de sa toute puissance. Sa mère ne comprend pas cet accoutrement. Elle avoue être souvent gênée et honteuse dans la rue... elle trouve qu’il attire trop l’attention sur lui. Aujourd’hui cette maman aimerait ramener son fils à la réalité. Pour elle, il a le talent et l’intelligence d’être un grand avocat. Mais au lieu d’étudier, il rêvasse devant le film qu’il tourné avec ses propres économies. Au grand désespoir de sa mère, il a gâché les sous qu’elle et son ex-mari avaient épargnés à la sueur de leur front.
Je suis une future star d'Hollywood !

Fashion is a slippery slope, and if American Apparel has taught me anything, it’s that we’re just a few seasons away from a deep V that ends at the Earth’s mantle. The problem seems obvious: typical style guides just don’t go far enough. Can you really trust that someone is going to take your gentle tips on, say, layering and NOT put on every item of clothing they own? No! You can’t!

In honor of TBI's annual men's fashion event, I’ve put together a basic list of do’s and don’ts for dude-style that covers the spectrum of “looking fine” to “YOU SHOULD BE FINED!”

For a complete look at the do’s of menswear, do come to our Haberdash event on September 24. Don’t wait till tickets sell out to get yours, and please don’t wear your going-out button-down crop top when you come.

Moscow, Russia (ChristWire) – The Kremlin released a photograph of Vladimir Putin today, moments after he dove into an ocean and “beat the ever loving sh#$ out of a great white shark”, according to bystander Sergei Glasnost.    Insiders say that Putin was steaming upset that Obama did not have the spine to bomb Syria and go to war with Russia. “The man is giant American pussy,” Russian media quotes Vladimir Putin saying of Barack Obama.  “He is weak and […]

Ah yes, football season is almost upon us. It’s that special time of year where bets are placed blindly on guessing which teams will make the Super Bowl, jerseys are called up from the disabled list (the drawer where you keep your “seasonal clothing”), and fantasy teams are cobbled together with players ranging from “Hell yeah!” to “Ah hell, I’m stuck with this guy since Jeremy got the QB I wanted.” Some people call this part of the year preseason; to real football fanatics, though, it’s called “Jesus Christ, is it September 5th yet?”

As any football aficionado knows, there’s a variety of different types of fans. Below is a list of seven of them that you’ll find this season out at a game, next to you at the bar, or even in your fantasy football league. No matter what type of fan you are though, Bleacher Report’s newly updated Team Stream app will help keep you updated on all things NFL, all season long.

You know the Hardcore Fan. He’s the one with the Raiders tattoo. He goes to every home game because his family has had season tickets … for like 20 years. The games he doesn’t attend are spent staring fixedly at one of the TVs in the Phoenix, Kezar Pub, or Columbus Cafe. No matter where he catches the game, though, the only utterances from his mouth are screams of triumph, wails of heartbreak, and distracted mutters of, “One more Anchor Steam, please.” If the Raiders win he’s the best person in the world to hang out with because he’ll buy everyone drinks all night long. But when they lose, he’s inconsolable and is best left to go home and cry a little on his black and white pillow.

This guy. The Party Animal Fan doesn’t really care if you’re watching football, baseball, men’s figure skating, or competitive snail racing. He’s there for the beer and the good times. If the home team is winning, he’s screaming along with the rest of you. If the home team is losing, he’s cracking jokes and, well, still kinda screaming about stuff. He’s really good at screaming. That’s because he’s excitable, in a Frank-the-Tank kind of way. He’s always the life of the party and no one really faults him for getting the Niners and the Raiders confused because watching games would be less interesting (and less loud, and honestly, less dangerous) without him around.         

The Bandwagon Fan just moved to the Bay two years ago to work for a start-up. He never really cared about football before, but since moving here he’s gotten caught up with the enthusiasm shared by all his coworkers who also just moved to the Bay two years ago. Well, that and the enthusiasm that goes along with day drinking. He often talks about how cool of a guy Colin Kaepernick is, thinks about fun stuff to wear on game day, and if the Niners start to suck, will refocus his Sundays on brunch. That said, if the Niners keep it up for a few more years he might actually turn into a really solid fan. He's never even mentioned the Raiders once. 

This fan lives and breathes football. She went to every single game during college, goes on stadium tours when visiting other cities, and exclusively reads biographies about famous players. Ever since moving to San Francisco she’s been a die-hard Niners and Raiders fan and looks down upon those who aren’t as rabid as she is, especially the Bandwagon Fans. The KWMAFTY Fan has both the home and away jerseys of multiple players, knows the season schedule for the entire NFC, and dominates her fantasy football league on a Tywin Lannister level. She’s fun to watch games with because she can go on at length about pretty much any aspect of the sport. Her knowledge of strange and obscure rules is better than half the announcers on TV.

The Hipster Fan only makes references about players that have been retired for 10+ years. While he liked sports as a kid, once he got to high school he decided that all jocks were assholes and that sports were lame. He’s just recently decided that liking sports is cool again. The Hipster Fan is the guy in the skinny jeans and vintage gold 49ers jacket that he paid like $500 for online and looks silly in. He also has throwback Air Jordans to complete the outfit. Given his out-of-date knowledge of football history, he’s fun to have around because he always reminds you of random plays and players of your youth, saying things like, “Remember that time Raghib ‘Rocket’ Ismail nearly ran a 100-yard kick-off return?” He does this to make the point that he liked football before it was cool.

The Sports Center Fan gets all his football knowledge from ESPN. He’s the guy who brings up totally asinine facts when discussing sports and focuses more on random statistics than on who actually wins or loses. Most of the things he mentions are just regurgitations of things he hears on TV. His friends were sick of his shtick by the end of last season and are really hoping he’s finally switched over to getting all his info from the Bleacher Report Team Stream app by the time the 2013/2014 season starts.

7. The Fantasy Football Fan: The Fantasy Football Fan cares way more about his fantasy team than any actual team in the NFL. For him the rush is all about thwarting his friends each week, so much so that he doesn’t even really care that much about winning the money they all threw in the pot at the start of the season. His arcane knowledge of fantasy football scoring quirks is immense and absurd. He’ll even root against his home team if it means his fantasy running back gets six more points. He’s the guy who stares at his phone/laptop/tablet the whole game and consults Bleacher Report’s Team Stream app like it was the Holy Bible. In his dream world, The League is his real life.

No matter what kind of football fan you are, The Bold Italic and Bleacher Report would love to party with you at our NFL Sunday Kick-Off on Sunday, Sept. 8 at Virgil's Sea Room. Stop by for great drinks and delicious eats by Wes Rowe.

A study conducted by European online retailer PIXmania shows how long it takes to find a partner by using different types of social media, by the amount of interactions between the users.

From DailyMail:

The study, which was conducted by electronics retailer PIXmania, found that within the space of a single generation, the amount of time taken for love to blossom has more than halved.

Couples aged 55 and over said on average their courting process took more than two and a half months (78 days) whereas for those under the age of 25 it takes just under one month (24 days) for them to refer to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend.

As a result, researchers believe that this could signals the end of the traditional 'three day rule' where would-be lovers wait for 72 hours before calling a date back.

Instead, it's now closer to three hours, with two thirds saying they were happy to contact their new beau within four hours of their first date.
