A Girl Named Chicken Dung

(Fujian Province, China) A girl named Ji Shi, "Chicken Dung" in Chinese, has reached the age of 18 and changed her name to Yingzi.

"At last, she is no longer afraid to show anybody her ID card," said her father, of Lindong village, Fujian province.

"She had a serious illness when she was one, and she was sick for two to three months.

"We didn't think she would survive, but a local medical practitioner advised us to paste her with chicken dung while taking medications he prescribed," added Xiansheng.

The girl made a miraculous recovery and her parents formally named her Chicken Dung in tribute to her treatment.

I'm surprised to hear that chicken dung has a medical application. Of course, under the Chinese national health scheme, it's possible that a bureaucrat thought up the treatment as a money-saver.

In any event, the thought of being pasted with chicken manure is particularly disgusting.
