The boy whose face became a mask of scars: Six-year-old left horrifically disfigured by fire


A Chinese boy lives behind a hard shell of scar tissue after he received terrible burns while playing with a lighter.

Wang Xiaopeng, 6, has been without hair, lips, eyelids, and toes since the accident in November 2010. His injuries also make it difficult for him to see while all of his fingers were amputated from the second joint.


The young boy went up in flames after he accidentally set light to some corn stalks near his home in Yinchuan in China's Ningxia Province.

His parents rushed him to Ningxia Medical University General Hospital where he managed to pull through. However, he was left severely disfigured and the couple could only afford to pay for three months of treatment for their beloved son.
