A young obese boy in Changchun Kangda Hospital, Changchun city, in the northeastern Chinese province of Jilin who weighs 23 stone has been set on fire in a bid to lose weight.
Li Hang, 11, is said to be undergoing the traditional Chinese medicine treatment after his weight ballooned while suffering a rare condition from the age of three.
The treatment includes fire cupping, fire therapy - known as 'huo liao' - and acupuncture.
Photographs of the treatment show the youngster screaming as a doctor lights up towels on top of his bare bulging tummy.
