Huang Chuncai: Huang Chuncai, a 32-year-old native from a remote village in China's southern province of Hunan, is known as China's Elephant Man. Chuncai suffers from Neurofibromatosis which is a genetic disorder of the nervous system that primarily affects the development and growth of nerve tissues. -Chuncai underwent his second operation on 3rd January to remove his facial tumours which currently weigh around 10kg (22lbs), at a hospital in Guangzhou. This was a follow-up from the first operation he had last July.

Chuncai's facial tumour first became noticeable when he was just 4 years old, the hospital said in July. Since then it grew larger at an ever faster rate, blocking his left eye, pushing his left ear to shoulder level, knocking out his teeth and deforming his backbone.
