The parent reveals that extra vertebrae cause severe pain as they press on the nerves in his neck and “make it difficult for him to walk”, says the 50-year-old adding that “He (son) always causes a stir whenever he goes out.”

At the age of 6 Fu was diagnosed with congenital scoliosis and abnormal chest frame. And now it became possible for his to undergo the surgery to stop the suffering, both physical and social. In the course of the operation, which is to be sponsored by Beijing-based charity organization, doctors from Chaoyang Hospital will try to reduce the boy’s neck size.

Pending the surgery, the humble boy says:

“I just hope I can have a normal neck.”
