Beijing: A 94-year-old Chinese war veteran who went to the doctor with stomach pains was shocked to discover a bullet in his pelvis which may have been lodged there for more than 60 years.

Duan Zhicai, of the southwest Chinese province of Sichuan, started to feel pain in his stomach about two years
ago. As the intensity of the pain increased, he eventually went to a local hospital where doctors performed an X-ray.
