Apr 8, 2008 - Why does he and other people who suffer from other deformities be refered to as such. I agree he looks nothing like an elephant. He just has large tumours on his face that make him look unhuman, but nothing like an elephant. It doesn't matter what he looks like to me anyway, he's still human, and people are so dumb for thinking he's not.

Apr 9, 2008 - I believe the term 'Elephant Man' comes from the film of that name made in 1980 which starred John Hurt. The 'exploitation' of this gentleman, Huang Chuncai, seems wrong but hopefully will make people accept more readily people who do have conditions like this. It is a shame he wasn't helped earlier in his life. Poverty is a terrible thing and so is 'poverty of mind' that makes people stare and ridicule people like Huang.

Apr 9, 2008 - I just searched "The Elephant man" on Google images, and there is no resemblence. They both do look very deformed, but both in a different way. Did the Elephant man even suffer from the same condition as this guy?

Apr 9, 2008 - yeah exactly the same . tumours which have grown rapidly . unfortunatley this guy had them in his head and chest, elephant man was covered

Apr 12, 2008 - no, this man had tumors which could be removed and are not attached to the bone but Elephant man had tumors that stuck to his bone. But people answer me please,this is what baffles me; why did Joseph Merrick die when he laid on his back (he died because of the weight of his head) but Huang Chuncai survives even when he lies on his back?

Apr 8, 2008 - That's disgusting! He actually has to hold his face up, i feel sorry for him. What i don't get is why is it the elephant man? His condition doesn't make him look like an elephant at all!
