Daredevil pulls car 10 metres using just his ears!

A Chinese daredevil wowed crowds as he effortlessly pulled a hefty car for more than ten meters... using just his ears.

Folk artist, Li Xiwen, pulled the black Ford car using string tied to his ears during China’s second hand car event in Zaozhuang, northern China.

As impressive as it sounds, Li Xiwen is not the first to attempt the unusual feat. Another Chinese man pulled a car for more than a whopping 200 meters using just his ears – this time while riding a motorbike.

In 2007 Wang Lianhai, 36, from Qiqihaer city, demonstrated the stunt in a street in Beijing.

With his ears attached to metal clamps connected to steel wires he pulled the 1.2 tonne car and the driver sitting inside.

After several failed attempts, Wang reportedly gave a loud cry and drove the motorbike slowly forward, stopping only at the end of the street.

‘Although by foot it’s more safe, I prefer to pull the car using a motorbike, which requires more skill,’ he said.

'Wang said he had been working on the stunt since childhood when he had been ‘very naughty and eager to try new things.'

His next ambition is to pull a ship, the Beijing Evening News reported.
