Heart-breaking Plight of the Chinese Man Who Spent His Life Locked in a Wooden Cage!
A mentally disabled Chinese man has spent almost his entire life locked inside a wooden cage because his family cannot afford to look after him. Tragic Wei Yun, 23, who lives in Gongchuan village, in southern China's Guangxi Province is unable to walk or talk and can only crawl. As a young child he was allowed to crawl around the home but at the age of two he knocked over a pot of boiling water and almost died. Because of this she is forced to lock him away in the small cage all day while she is out. A neighbour commented: 'It's a hard choice for her as she on one hand has to take care of Wei Yun but on the other she has to do field work and other odd jobs to support the family'. Many of China's mentally ill people are forced to live in the most appalling fashion especially in rural areas where poverty is rife and there are no state facilities to care for them. Wei Yun's plight echoes that of 40-year-old Tang Zuhua, whose 76-year-old mother has kept him locked in a ruined barn in Chongqing, southern China for 23 years.  · |

Re: Heart-breaking Plight of the Chinese Man Who Spent His Life Locked in a Wooden Cage!
That's horrible! Babies fall and sometimes they get hurt. One of my cousins got hot coffee on her when she was about 18 months old. It made me cry to see her in the hosptial with her arms strapped down so she wouldn't scratch the burns. She had to have a couple of surgeries when she developed breasts and grew up. This guy is treated like an animal. He may not be mentally ill at all. If people locked him up and don't interact with him, he obviously isn't going to learn anything. Very sad for him! |

Thing is he's trained and, more than likely, afraid to do so since the cage is what he knows. |
