Weighing in at 50kg (7st 9lb) and still growing, he lifts 40kg bags of grain to build up his muscles. Showing off his power in a series of strength tests, Yang gave father Zuyuan, who weighs 90kg (14st 1lb), a piggyback to the delight of neighbours in his village in Chuzhou, in China?s Anhui province.
Yang, whose dream is to be an Olympic champion weightlifter, first displayed his prowess for power aged just nine months ? by lifting a 5kg oil drum into the air.
