Nurses in Rizhao People's Hospital in Rizhao, are now taking care of Sun Liang on his hospital bed in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), east China's Shandong province.
 
Liang has been unable to walk since early this year and entered hospital for treatment after suffering from physical dysfunctions caused by obesity in April.
 
Because Sun Liang was too heavy to move by himself, more than 10 medical staffers and neighbours helped move him onto a door plank before they got him into an ambulance.

His brother said that the tires on the ambulance went flat after he was put in the car.
 
Liang couldn't go to school due to his mental condition.
 
Overeating and lack of exercise led to more weight gain. According to his brother, over the past three years, Liang, has gone from 150 kilograms to 300 kilograms.
