Jiangxi girl just can't wear clothes

If you, like us, are already cursing the arrival of winter, watch this. There is a little 5 year old girl in Jiangxi who is still prancing around in her birthday suit, and revelling in the cold waters as if its still summer. Her parents say that since she turned one, the girl started showing her great dislike for clothes. She goes to bed nightly without even a blanket on, and if someone actually tried to throw a blanket on her, she would break into sweat and fall sick. She also has a HUGE appetite, eating up to four meals a day, with each meal comprising of at least two full bowls of rice. Neighbours in the village have started to call her the "fire doll" (火娃). Doctors at the hospital have found nothing wrong with the girl, and could only say that she has an extremely high metabolism rate and a great endurance for the cold. Now that the girl is almost of schooling age though, her parents are starting to get worried. They have tried shopping around for a school for their daughter, but none of the schools in town would accept her.
