Difficulties facing China's poverty alleviation efforts have been in the spotlight recently after a reportedly impoverished Yunnan Province boy that needed medical treatment to eat again was able to pay for surgery only after his case received media coverage.
The case of Si Shunyang Cheap Air Force Ones Wholesale , a nine-year-old resident of Huize county under the city of Qujing, came into the spotlight after the media reported that he was surviving only on injections of liquid food directly into his stomach.

Si Xingchang, the boy's mentally ill father, told kunming that after his son left the hospital he was unable to swallow food.
