An officer in Fengcheng of Jiangxi Province has become a local legend for his extraordinary ability to swallow a fish skeleton in a minute without getting any bones stuck in his throat.

Chen had amazed his friends and colleagues by performing his feat at banquets and parties. In addition, he could also help people swallow stuck bones by offering them just a cup of water.

Chen is said to have learnt the skill from an elderly prisoner about 20 years ago while working as a prison officer.
