Story of a Chinese man who actually sold his kidney to buy an iPhone

Here is a story about a man, who actually sold his kidney to get the latest iPhone in China in 2011. A 17-year old Chinese man named Xiao Wang traded his kidney to buy the Apple iPhone 4 in 2011, as going to school with an iPhone is considered as "Symbol of status."

 

Xiao Wang sold one kidney for USD 3,200, which is a bit more than the price of the kidney. Wang would have never thought that buying an Apple iPhone might make him suffer throughout his life.

What went wrong?

Wang's operation was done in an underground hospital, and the doctor's who did the operation did not follow the proper surgical procedure, which led to an infection, which killed the other kidney as well.

Fast forward to 2018, Xiao Wang is now 24 years old, and he has to undergo weekly dialysis for the rest of his life. Just for the sake of owning an iPhone Wang lost his life.

Moral of the story

It is ok if you don't have an iPhone or a fancy gadget that your friend has, do not decide to sell your body parts or do some illegal things to own something, which might spoil your entire life. Work hard, and one day you might be able to buy an iPhone just like other people.
