Zhang Deke, 71, a retired worker in Altay, in the Xinjiang Uygur
Autonomous Region in Northwest China, has a special way to keep fit. He
has 220 volts of current pass through his body.

Zhang, who controls the voltage, once cooked a fish which he held in his
hand as the current flowed through his body. He has used electrical
current to treat people suffering from rheumatism, arthritis and kidney
pain.

Zheng was examined at Xinjiang Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
in 1994 and experts said that he has a physical dysfunction, but did not
give details.
