Huang Chunkai, 39, has been suffering from neurofibromatosis, benign skin tumors that cover his entire body since the age of four. Doctors call him the most serious patient in the history of studying this disease - his tumors are growing rapidly, and doctors are unable to help him. A man with a 15-kilogram tumor of the face has repeatedly become the hero of documentaries. However, he indignantly refused the offer to participate in a freak show.
A man with a 15-kilogram tumor on his face rejected the offer to become the hero of a freak show - and not at all because he is embarrassed by publicity. He was used to her. Huang Chungkai, 39, known as the "Chinese Elephant Man" has been a medical researcher and documentary hero for many years. At the age of four, he was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that leads to uncontrolled growth of tumors throughout the body. According to doctors, a more severe case of this disease has not been encountered in the entire history of medicine. Despite four attempts at surgical removal of tumors, they continue to grow at a rapid rate, especially on the face.
The first time Huang Chonghai underwent surgery in 2007. After that, with the help of benefactors, he lay down on the surgeon's table three more times. The operations helped to shrink the swelling on his face, but the doctors failed to remove it completely or reduce its growth. His tumor is considered the largest in the world today. Because of his ugliness, Juan prefers not to appear on the street once again.
According to recent reports, the swelling on the face of the "Chinese Elephant Man" has begun to grow rapidly again. For now, however, he can lead a relatively normal life. Juan has repeatedly received offers to participate in all sorts of freak shows, but each time he rejected them, not wanting to appear in front of the public as a monster, which is shown for the amusement of the crowd.
For the first time, Huang, a native of a remote village in central China, had a tumor growing at age four. Over time, the situation got worse, and in the end, Juan had to drop out of school due to the ridicule of his peers. He now lives with his parents, brothers and sisters, who over the years have become accustomed to his terrible appearance.

The everyday life of an unfortunate person is not easy, but dignity does not allow him to earn on his ugliness by participating in a freak show.
