This man had to undergo two surgeries to have 12 so-called "amulets" removed from his body.

The video, filmed in Hangzhou City in Zhejiang Province on December 14, 2017, shows a dozen stitched up wounds all over the man's body after the metal pieces were removed.

According to reports, the man named Chen spent around £114 on implanting the 12 metal objects into his body seven years ago in Hong Kong, as he believed that they were amulets.
