Pregnant looking toddler has parasitic twin removed from her stomach
Kang's parents couldn't understand why their daughter's stomach was growing larger overnight and feared it could be a tumour.
Her swollen belly made her look pregnant and drew taunts from neighbours who branded her "a monster"
But after doctors examined the 18-month old they discovered that she had an extremely rare condition, which affects 1 in 500,000 births - when one twin in the womb grows larger than the other and envelops its smaller sibling.
The second foetus never fully develops, but continues to grow within the first baby, feeding off it like a parasite.
It left Kang, from Henan Provence, unable to eat solid food and spending her time in constant pain.
Kang had already had a difficult start to life. Just days old, she was abandoned in a field by her parents.
Her cries were heard by farm worker Wang Guihua, 35, who took her home and nursed her back to health.
Wang and her husband Kang Xiqing, 43, had no children of their own and were allowed to foster Kang.
The worried couple took her to doctors who explained that Kang had an unborn twin growing inside her, and that it was crushing her organs as it grew.
Her life was hanging in the balance, but her parents with a combined income of �400 a year, couldn't afford the �1,000 operation that their daughter so desperately needed.
Help arrived in the for of the Red Cross who raised the funds for Kang through and appeal.
She was rushed into surgery and after a grueling 10-hour operation, Kang is now recovering well and will be able to live a normal life.
Her grateful mother thanked the Red Cross, saying: "We're very grateful. We were so worried she would die. Before she used to cry in pain and hold her bump like a pregnant woman. Now we can hope she can have a normal life."
Kang returned to her village in Henan provence in September and is doing well, she is running round the village with the other children and is eating solid food.
Her mother said: "She doesn't understand what has happened to her. But she is happy.
"She still has her womb and ovaries, so one day she will be able to have children of her own."
JOKE:One day Jason comes home from school
One day Jason comes home from school, goes straight to his father and asks, "What is fornication, Dad?" Jason gets the same answer all Jewish fathers give: "Why don't you ask your mother, Son?"
So Jason goes into the kitchen and asks his mother, "What is fornication Mom? Dad said you would know." His mother replies, "I'm busy right now Jason, why don't you go and ask your bubbe? She will tell you."
So Jason goes upstairs to his bubbe's room, knocks on her door and shouts, "Please, Bubbe, what is fornication? No one here seems to know." Bubbe says, "Come inside, tatteleh*. She then takes him to her closet, opens the door, takes out a beautiful full-length pink, beaded evening dress and says, "Now, this, tatteleh, is foranoccasion!"

Woman Banned From Drinking in Two Countries
Meet Laura Hall - the first person banned from buying or drinking alcohol anywhere in England and Wales.
The 20-year-old has been issued with an order barring her from entering any pub, club, off-licence or bar for the next two years.
Hall is also banned from buying alcohol at any other establishment or shop, carrying it in an unsealed container or drinking it in a public place.
Police applied to magistrates after Hall was convicted of breaching an Anti-Social Behaviour Order - known as an Asbo - imposed for unspecified incidents.
She was convicted of a series of public order offences and flouted bans from pubs and clubs through a local scheme in her home town of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.
Her ban comes as a study found that female binge-drinking had almost doubled in the past decade in the UK.
According to government statistics, the number of women involved in alcohol-related crime rose 30 per cent between 2005 and 2007.
Kidderminster Magistrates' Court was told Hall faced a �2500 ($4127) fine if she breaks the conditions of the order.
"There have been some drinking ban orders issued already but this is the first to be issued on a nationwide basis," Sergeant David Roberts said.
"It bans Laura from drinking or buying alcohol in any licensed premises across England and Wales. This will protect the public from Laura's behaviour."
Officers applied for the order rather than another Asbo because Hall would be at risk of prison if she breached it again.
"We want to rehabilitate her rather than send her to jail," Sgt Roberts said.
Under the terms of the order, Hall must attend an approved alcohol misuse course.
Since their introduction in September, police and local authorities can ask magistrates to impose the orders on anyone responsible for alcohol-fuelled crime or anti-social behaviour to stop them drinking or entering licensed premises.
They cannot be issued to anyone with mental health problems or alcoholics.
But Institute of Alcohol Studies spokeswoman Rachel Seabrook said: "I think most of the disorder problems we see around alcohol reflect a lack of police enforcement powers and policing laws.
"I am not opposed in principle but I do have doubts about whether it's a realistic thing to enforce. How can a police officer in Wales know whether this women has been banned if she turns up in his town?"
Rooster changes sex and starts laying eggs
UN scientists are to study a rooster which changed sex after a fox raid on his enclosure wiped out all his hens.
Gianni's Italian owners say he started life as a red-blooded rooster on his farm in Tuscany.
But within days of the fox raid, 'he' was laying eggs and trying to hatch them as he brooded over his new life in the hen house.
Now scientists at UN's Farm and Agriculture Organisation are to study the bird's DNA to see what made him change. "It may be a primitive species survival gene. With all the females gone he could only ensure the future of his line by becoming female," said one expert.
JOKE: A bakery owner hires a young female clerk
A bakery owner hires a young female clerk who likes to wear very short skirts and thong panties. One day a young man comes into the store, glances at the clerk and glances at the loaves of bread behind the counter. Noticing the length of her skirt (or lack thereof) and the location of the raisin bread - on the very top shelf - he politely says to the young woman, "I'd like some raisin bread, please."
She climbs up a ladder to reach the raisin bread, providing the young man with an excellent view, just as he surmised she would. When she comes down the ladder, he says he really should get two loaves as he is having company for dinner.
As the clerk retrieves the second loaf of bread, one of the other male customers notices what is going on. Thinking quickly, he orders a loaf of raisin bread so he can continue to enjoy the view. With each trip up the ladder, the young lady seems to catch the eye of another male customer. Pretty soon, each male customer is asking for raisin bread just to watch the young woman climb up and down.
After many trips, she is tired, irritated and thinking she is really going to have to try the raisin bread herself. Once again she is up the ladder retrieving a loaf of raisin bread for another male customer. She stops and fumes, glaring at the men below. She notices an elderly man standing among the crowd of males looking up at her who hasn't placed an order yet.
Thinking to save herself another trip up and down the ladder, she yells at the
elderly man, "Is yours raisin, too?"
"No," croaked the old man, "but it's quivering quite a bit"
