Chinese Girl with Big Breasts - Updated

Here's an intriguing story and I haven't found any followup information.

Three years ago, a 16-year-old Chinese girl, Xu Haojia, was auctioning her breasts, touted as the Biggest Breasts in China, on the Internet with intentions of gathering at least $50,000.

The money reportedly would go to charity and to plastic surgery to remove the biggest breasts. The mammaries would then be awarded to the highest bidder.

So, Xu Haojia planned to hand over surgically removed breast tissue to someone. Only heaven knows what type of person would want sliced and diced body parts, but the girl hinted that fatty breast tissue is utilized in transgender procedures. In any event, that was the deal. Highest bidder gets the boobs.

There was some media interest for awhile and then the story died. No followup on the auction and whether the whole scheme was squashed.

However, there is a report from earlier this year indicating that Ms. Xu Haojia, also called Sally, never had her breasts removed but the auction isn't mentioned. Instead, she complains about the size of her breasts and people staring at her breasts. This is while she passes herself off as an artiste who performs at nightclubs and karaoke bars.

I'm quite curious as to whether the initial story was a hoax or if it just scratches the surface of a bigger story about underground sales of body parts. From my perch, it seems that Asians, unlike the West, don't have any cultural taboos regarding selling one's body parts.

The lack of information makes me think that the ChiComs may have sent out their morality police to shut down the girl's website, but that's simply a guess. If any readers come across some followup on the auction story, please leave a comment.

Biggest Breasts in China
[Previous 7/6/07 post]
(Shanghai, China) A 16-year-old girl from Shandong Province, Xu Haojia, claims that she has the biggest breasts in China and she is trying to auction them to the highest bidder. Xu is seeking more than $50,000 for the pair and plans on giving the money to the needy.

Xu, measuring about 5'4" tall and an E-cupper at 33/28/34, advertised on her blog (in Chinese) "The No. 1 breasts want an auction for love donation." She says she hopes that five celebrated Chinese men bid on her breasts because "they may need the fat to change to be females in the future."

According to Shanghaiist, "Xu is literally auctioning her breasts. As in, she will have them surgically removed, and will literally hand her disembodied mammaries over to the highest bidder." I believe this would be a new high (low) on the Ewww! scale.

From Shanghai Daily:

"Thirty percent of the money will be used for a migrant workers' Website," Xu said in the article. "Sixty percent will be donated to a happy education program held by a Red Cross in Hunan Province and I'll use the remainder for plastic surgery."

It's suggested that Xu is simply seeking publicity and the idea is merely a ploy.
