LONDON: In a gory incident, a Chinese man has allegedly killed an 11-year-old boy and ate his brain to cure his epilepsy, a media report said.

Wang Chaoxu of Qixian village in Yunnan, south west China, killed the boy, Li Xuetang, who was found buried three miles away in a grain field in a neighbouring village, with the top of his head peeled back and part of his brain removed, the Sun quoted police as saying.

Wang, who was arrested following an eyewitness account, told cops he believed an old wives' tale that eating the brain with earthworms and ants would cure his fits. He was arrested after Wang Wenzhong, the village leader, found two blood stained rocks in the field and some fractured bones, before the boy's body was discovered buried nearby.

9. I hope so. One of my Chinese friends once sent to me a picture of how some

restaurants display cooked dogs, it was among one of the most disgusting pictures I've ever seen. He also sent to me some pictures of chemical factory sweatshops where people labor. Horrible, chemical spills and grossness everywhere... For many Americans this is out of sight, out of mind, as usual.
