The poor Chinese man has spent almost his entire life locked inside a wooden cage because his family cannot afford to look after him.
Tragic Wei Yun, 23, who lives in Gongchuan village, in southern China's Guangxi Province is unable to walk or talk and can only crawl.
As a young child he was allowed to crawl around the home but at the age of two he knocked over a pot of boiling water and almost died.

From then on his parents began to lock him in a wooden cage for his own safety.
Wei's father works away from home and rarely has the time to visit, meaning there is no one to watch over Wei while his stepmother Nong is out working during the day.
Because of this she is forced to lock him away in the small cage all day while she is out.
Many of China's mentally ill people are forced to live in the most appalling fashion especially in rural areas where poverty is rife and there are no state facilities to care for them.
Wei Yun's plight echoes that of 40-year-old Tang Zuhua, whose 76-year-old mother has kept him locked in a ruined barn in Chongqing, southern China for 23 years.
