A 46-year-old man who was rescued almost 100 hours after the devastating earthquake hit China, said he lived on cigarettes and paper napkins and drank his urine to survive those critical moments, the state media Xinhua reported. "I searched my pockets and found half a pack of cigarettes and a few sheets of paper napkins. I broke the cigarettes into pieces and ate them. After the cigarettes, I turned to the paper napkins," Mr Peng Zhijun said. He was dug out from the rubble of a collapsed building in Beichuan county.
"I had to drink my urine. I managed to take off one of my shoes and used it to collect my urine," Mr Peng said. "I encouraged more than 10 others to drink urine. But they did not listen to me. They died one after the other," Mr Peng lamented. "So long as you persist with your belief, you have one more minute to live and one more chance of being rescued", he said
