Firefighters to the rescue to save boy's finger
A father in Qinzhou, the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, was forced to ask local firefighters to save his son's finger by removing a screw nut the boy had put on it.
The 10-year-old boy had imitated the plot of a television series by putting a screw nut on the middle finger of his left hand on Feb 1. After finding that he could not remove the ring, the boy did not tell his parents for fear of getting into trouble. Two days passed before the father noticed the boy's swollen and purple finger.
