Chinese Man Pierced Himself 2008 Times for Upcoming China Olympics
Friday, June 13, 2008
To show patriotism and support, a 60 year-old Chinese acupuncturist has pierced his head, face, chest, and arms with 2008 decorative needles for the upcoming China Olympics.
LinkThe event broke his previous Guinness Record of 1790 needles set in 2004. Wei also hopes to share more about the history of acupuncture to the world.
Initially inspired after reading about a Canadian who had set a record for inserting 420 needles in his arm, Wei felt that it was “not much compared to our centuries-old acupuncture,” and began experimenting with piercing his own body with needles.
