NEWS | CRAZY WORLD: THE WOMAN WHO LIVED WITH 26 NEEDLES INSIDE HER BODY

Image
In the world of medicine, bizarre cases occasionally emerge that leave even the most experienced doctors stunned. One such case comes from China, where a young woman named Luo Cuifen shocked the world after doctors discovered 26 sewing needles embedded inside her body.

The needles were not just lodged in her muscles but had pierced into some of her most vital organs—her lungs, liver, kidneys, and even her brain, where one needle had broken into three separate pieces.

That “someone” is often a youth coach — the unsung hero who gives their time, energy, and wisdom not for fame or wealth, but for the growth of the next generation. These coaches are mentors, role models, and guardians of hope. In fields where resources are scarce and recognition is minimal, youth coaches continue to train, guide, and inspire. They sacrifice comfort, push through challenges, and choose to see potential where others see nothing. Their impact goes ...
