Dwarf Streets little boy
Parents of a boy that has failed to grow after he was born on a street called "Dwarf Street" want the local council to change the name - saying it has jinxed their child. Four-year-old Liu Chengrui weighs just 5 kilo and is just 60cm long. And now his parents who have spent their life savings going from one hospital to the other believe that because there is no medical explanation - it must be the fact that he has been jinxed by the bizarre name. Now they want the local council at Wuhan in Hubei province to change it. Dad Lu said: "We have tried everything and nothing works. I'm now convinced that my son will end up as a dwarf unless we get the name of the street changed. It was irresponsible of the council to choose such a silly name. "All the other kids were born at the same time are growing quickly but my son has stayed the same. He has sunken eyes and thin limbs, my Liu now is so thin that his limbs are like chopsticks." Both parents say that they have no other idea what to do: "While there's a hope, we won't give up," said the mother Yang Yunhua.
