A little girl in China eats 8 meals a day, and eats 5 kg of rice every two days.
 |
The little girl had no parents. Ten years ago, a single man in a small village on the outskirts of Chongqing picked her up and raised her. She ate eight meals a day, and every two days she ate five kilograms of rice. |
 |
Every two hours, the baby feels hungry and wants to eat. Even though she eats a lot, she weighs 36 kg. Every time it is time for a meal, she can eat all the rice in the rice cooker. |
 |
Her adoptive father and neighbors took her to see a doctor, but the doctors could not find the exact cause of her illness. |
 |
The doctor said that the girl had a stomach problem because she had a bowel movement just 10 minutes after eating. Lack of nutrients in her body could also be the reason why her hair is falling out more and more. |
 |
However, everything is just speculation and the girl has not been cured. Local doctors apply intravenous fluids to maintain her current health. The infusions have lasted for several years. |
 |
The single foster father said he had to rely on money borrowed from neighbors to raise his child and pay for medical treatment. |
 |
The Chinese government has provided subsidies to the adoptive father, but he said the money is not enough to treat the illness, only to maintain his current life. The local government has also invited medical experts to examine him but they cannot find the cause. They can only guess that it is a rare digestive disease. |
