Fri 07 Jul 2009Chicken Dung changes her name and woman weds dog
A CHINESE girl called Chicken Dung has had her name legally changed now that she is an adult.
The girl’s father, Zhu Xiansheng, gave her the name on the advice of a doctor after she was ill as a baby and chicken manure was used to treat her. So she was named Ji Shi, which means Chicken Dung. She hated the name but was stuck with it until she was 18, the legal age for name changing in China, when she changed it to Yingzi.
