Footage has emerged from China of a six-year-old boy with a rare, possibly unknown condition whereby his stomach is extremely large.
In the video, filmed in Nanning, Guangxi Province last Monday, the boy is interviewed and filmed going about his daily business, with an unusually large stomach.
According to local reports, the boy named Honghong, started to develop the condition when he was two-years-old, but at that time his family thought it was because he had a really good appetite.
However, as it got worse, his family took him to hospital where doctors tried to work out what was wrong with him.
The condition is reportedly related to a benign tumour in his liver but so far they haven't been able to treat him.
His parents have spent £60,000 already but they are refusing to give up and are waiting for the results of his latest tests.
