The half man with a big heart

BRAVE half man Peng Shuilin stunned surgeons by pulling through after they were forced to amputate 50 PER CENT of his body.

Amazing ... Peng Shuilin was crushed by a truck

The miracle businessman, who was crushed by a truck, spent nearly TWO YEARS in hospital in Shenzhen, southern China.

Doctors had to perform a series of operations to re-route nearly every major organ or system inside his body.

But the amazing 37-year-old battled back and has even set up his own cut-price supermarket — the Half Man Half Price Store.

And now Peng is being used as a role model for other amputees.

At just 2ft 7ins tall he gets around in a wheelchair and gives lectures on recovering from disability.

Bujie Hospital vice president Lin Liu said: "We've just given him a check up and he is fitter than most men his age. He is amazing and the only person in the world to survive having so much of his body amputated.

"He had good care but his secret is his cheerfulness - nothing ever gets him down."
