A Chinese woman whose tears are made of stone for seven years has turned to the media for help after doctors ignored her.
Ding Aihua experienced pain in her eyes seven years ago and a stone was discovered under her eyelid. She has been producing them ever since.
Her husband Liang Xinchun said that doctors were not able to provide an explanation and that each time they went to the hospital, they were treated as if they were crazy.
He added that the stone under her wife’s eyelids can be removed but another would appear after some time. He also claimed that so far, he had obtained 10 small stones from his wife’s eye socket.
Liang said that doctors all over the country had refused to accept that he and his wife are telling the truth.
He said: "They treat us as if we are mental cases."
As such, the couple has turned to media for help.
