CHENGDU, China, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Doctors in China said they found and removed a rusty needle stuck in a Chinese girl's head for 11 years.

The needle apparently had been inserted by relatives to try to kill the girl when she was an infant, a common practice in a culture that values males, and in a country with a "one couple, one child" family policy, The Times of London reported Thursday,

BEIJING (Reuters) - A tiger devoured a mentally ill man who entered the animal's zoo cage in northeast China, local media reported on Friday.

Zhang Yachun disappeared from his home in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang province, on March 24 and five days later police told his parents he had been eaten by a tiger in a nearby zoo, the China news service reported, citing a Harbin newspaper.

"Only two legs and his skull were left," the report said.

 Hi Everyone,

A few months ago, I had a brief stay in Changde. (Stayed at Huatian Hotel.) An acquantaince brought me to her house in the outskirt of the city. I would like to go back there without letting her know - just wish to give her a surprise.

the long-awaited and much-debated reform plan is likely to be revealed at the annual session of China's parliament, which opens on March 5th. The outline is already clear: a stronger role for government, including more money from the central budget, and a drive towards universal health insurance. Changes are already in train.
