The plump children cheer after the first day's training in the weight-reducing summer camp held in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province, Aug. 3, 2009. Chen Xiran, a seven-year-old plump boy from Changde City of central China's Hunan Province, owns his nickname "Melon Boy" because of his water-melon-skin hair style. Chen joined in a special ten-day summer camp in August of 2009, aiming to reduce weight together with 50 other overweight children through trainings. As the youngest child, Chen Xiran gives good account of himself by cutting through obstacles, crawling forward, walking on the balance beam... "Melon Boy" loses only 1 kilogram after ten days' trainings, while some others lose six or seven kilograms. However, he receives a prize of "Star of Growth" from the drillmaster. Chen parts with reluctant tears after the ten-day summer camp, where he has realized harms overweight made to health and has decided to form healthy living habits and be a healthy "Melon Boy".
