A teenager from Tongan District of Xiamen, Fujian Province, had to have a
ring cut from his finger after it became stuck.
Chen, a 16-year-old middle school student, decided to move the ring from a
middle finger to an index finger on Sunday. However, he became worried when he
discovered he could not remove it, even when he used soapy water as lubricant.
The finger started to swell up and began to turn black as the blood supply had
been cut off.
Failing to find a solution in a hospital, Chen turned to a crew of
firefighters who cut the ring with a saw and saved the finger.
