Extreme poverty in China – ‘Ice Boy’ went viral last year after a picture was snapped of him with frozen hair, after his hour long walk to school in 16°F (-9°C) so he wouldn’t miss a test that day!
The headmaster of the primary school could not believe his eyes when the 8-year-old arrived with icicles instead of his hair and eyebrows, contrasting with his burning red cheeks. Since the photo went viral, the school has received more than $15,000 in donations, 20 heating equipment and 144 warm set of clothes.
