Baby Jie-Jie was born on April 1 in Anhui Province, China. When he was born, he had a right arm and two left arms, but both of his left arms were unable to move. Tests showed that the left arm near her chest was less developed, so doctors decided to remove the arm.

Before the surgery, the doctors showed concern for the baby's health, but the 3-hour operation was unexpectedly successful . Concerns about affecting the nervous system did not occur. However, Jie-Jie's parents are still not reassured about their future development, because Jie-Jie has only one kidney since birth.
