Meet Wang Xiaopeng who lost most of his facial features in an accidental fire two years ago All that has been left of the boy’s face is a mask of scared tissue.
His hands have also been burnt. According to media reports, his parents spent all their savings and took out loans to pay for treatment, but cannot afford to pay for any further surgery.
The five-year old has been without hair, lips, eyelids, and toes since the accident in November 2010.
He caught fire after he set some corn stalks near his home in Yinchuan in China’s Ningxia Province alight.
His parents rushed him to Ningxia Medical University General Hospital where he managed to pull through.
However, all that was left of his face can be seen here in the picture.
His father Wang Yougiu, 32, earns just 2,000 yuan (Dh1,500) a month as a dairy farmer, while his mother Zhengwei Xiu, 30, is a housewife.
Xiaopeng’s injuries make it difficult for him to see while all of his fingers have been amputated.
He does not go to school, as no schools will admit him, and he only has a few friends who have got used to his appearance.
The pictures which have been doing the rounds of the web world for a few days not have moved people to help.
The British charity Journalism Without Borders has launched an online campaign to raise funds and will make sure donations will go towards the youngster’s medical bills.
