Li Hongfang, 40, was shunned in public for years after rare type of bone cancer caused tissue to grow under skin


A poor Chinese mother who was left horrifically disfigured by 70 large tumours growing on her face can smile once again after a hospital carried out the transforming surgery for free.


She was forced to endure the condition, known as Chordoma, for more than a decade because she had no money to pay for the surgery.
But after her plight touched hearts around the world, shaming the country's ailing health service on a global stage, a hospital in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, offered to carry out the surgery, which normally costs £60,000, for free.

I was so moved by the generosity of the doctors and surgeons that carried out the operation on the beautiful lady. I am so happy that she can smile again. more photos of the surgery and transformation after the cut...
