A 21-year-old man from southern China's Foshan had a life-changing surgery to remove his extra four toes on his left foot on October 29.

In the video, an X-ray picture shows the man named A Jun's nine-toe foot before the surgery.

The doctors removed the extra four toes and forged a new big toe for A Jun in a nine-hour-long surgery.

A Jun was reportedly born with nine toes. But his parents only brought him to see a fortune teller instead of a doctor and was told that the extra toes were given by Buddha.

After that, his parents did not seek treatment for A Jun until he started to work and became determined to have a treatment in hospital.

A Jun's foot is recovering from the surgery at the moment and he said he wanted to walk outside with his bare feet after he leaves the hospital.

来自潮汕的21岁小伙阿俊面相清秀，足下却有“难言之隐”，原因是其左脚从出生起就患有“多趾畸形”，一脚竟有9根脚趾。 　　为了重获新生活，不被多趾畸形影响自己的未来，阿俊来到了顺德就医。

29日，从阿俊就医的顺德和平外科医院获悉，经过医生团队9小时的努力，成功切除了阿俊左脚多余的4个足趾，还成功“再造”了一个足拇指。 如今，左脚外观逐渐恢复良好的阿俊称，最想和正常人一样，穿一双正常码数的运动鞋在路上奔跑。他说小时候算命的说九趾是佛祖带来的，不要去动它，长大受到困扰才到医院治疗。
