Mr. Chen Dejun (71) is a man living alone in a straw colored house in Nanchuan district of Chongqing, China, its height is low and the body is sticky. He seems to have bought gasoline about 3 - 3.5 kg a month at a gas station at the foot of a hill and is drinking.

Mr. Chen is a locally skilled mason and known as a master of bamboo work, but it is likewise known that he is a person who loves gasoline.


It was around 1969 that he began to drink gasoline. The cough suddenly came and I felt my chest pain, because I was drinking medicine for treatment but I could not see improvement, so I handled folk medicine to drink kerosene And that. After drinking a bite, Chen seems to have realized its therapeutic effect, and since then it became like a kerosene poisoning and started to drink regularly. After a while, he began to drink gasoline whether he was not satisfied with kerosene.

I have told how much gasoline I have drunk so far I do not know the exact figure anymore, but according to the local media I've covered, I estimate that probably I drank 1.5 tons of gasoline for 42 years.
