Boy With an Extraordinarily Big Head

The poor boy diagnosed with hydrocephalus is named Liu Jing (刘京) from Shan County of Hezhe, Shangdong Province. The extraordinarily big head has severely affected his development. He is now 9 years old but weighs only at 15kg. Without other's help, he even can't walk smoothly by himself and is very easy to fall down. His family has spent all of their belongings (house also sold) and owed 100, 000 Yuan to get him treated in the hospital. Now together with his parents, the boy is begging at the street of Xiamen.

Update: The boy may suffer from a rare condition called Proteus syndrome that involves atypical growth of the bones, skin, head and a variety of other symptoms.
