Boy accidentally swallows 10g gold bean while doing ‘tongue exercise’, hospital manages to retrieve it<\/h2>\n

An 11-year-old in Kunshan, Jiangsu, China, accidentally swallowed a 10-gram gold “bean” worth about 10,000 yuan (S$1,825) while “testing the strength of his tongue”.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the boy managed to pass the piece of gold while at the hospital.<\/p>\n

According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), citing the Dawan News, the boy’s mother, Ms Ji, had purchased the gold bean on 17 Oct as an investment, amid surging gold prices that have risen more than 50% this year.<\/p>\n

Just a few days later, on 22 Oct, while Ms Ji was doing laundry, her son began playing with the gold and suddenly ran to her, panicking.<\/p>\n

He reportedly said, “Mum, hurry up, I am going to die. I swallowed the gold.”<\/p>\n
