A Chinese man is undergoing plastic surgery to reduce his protruding cheek bones to let his wife live longer. Lang Qiang says fortune-tellers told him his wife would die before him - because of the effect of his cheekbones. Lang, 48, of Chongqing city, said: "I believe it without any doubt. Misfortunes are always happening to my wife, while I have none. "For example, every morning, we need to go downstairs to pick up the bottled milk. I've never had a problem, but my wife fell and fractured her legs going down the stairs. Another time I stood on a bench to hang a cloth. Then my wife stood on it, and the bench broke." Lang says more than one fortune-teller told him his protruding cheekbones were killing his wife so he finally decided to have plastic surgery. "I always feel sorry for my wife and want to do something to make things up," he said. "I told my wife I would go on a business trip for more than 10 days. I want to give her a surprise." The operation was a success, but the surgeon advised Lang to get rid of his superstitions, reports Chongqing Morning News.
