In 2017, Yang Ming, aged 37, accidentally touched a live wire at a construction site, causing him to be thrown backward onto a protruding metal rod.

His coworkers decided to leave the rod in place and quickly took him to Sichuan University West China Hospital.

There, surgeons successfully extracted the rod during a seven-hour operation.

Miraculously, the rod missed all vital organs, and Yang Ming survived the ordeal.
