The method this scavenger used to fetch water from the canal to drink was shocking - holding an empty mineral water bottle, he moved slowly with his back straightened. He could only move with his back straightened because even a slight bend of his knees would cause the steel bar inserted in his anus like a "tail" to touch the ground and cause excruciating pain. This scene occurred at the intersection of Sandyang Road in the Peace District of Shenyang City.
