Foxconn probably engineered him. They can save a bundle on lighting/electricity costs if everyone can just work in the dark.

What do you expect when you mix humans with toxic waste pollution?

That was BS. His eye might be more light sensitive (my blue eyes are very sensitive to the sun), but they are nothing like cat's eyes with tapetum lucidum. They was just bad reporting.

This.

Lighter your eyes the higher chance for over sensitivity to brighter lights.

Find a couple more like him and they can produce a Chinese Iron Chefs show where all the cooking is done in the dark!

I have blue eyes, and always have had a bit of light sensitivity and never put the 2 together and also have very good night vision, but I can't read in almost pitch black like this kid supposedly can. That's pretty cool if true.

Slightly off topic, stepping into bright sunlight makes me sneeze (twice). Always thought this was odd, and no, it's not alergies :)

Has nobody checked if mom or dad have Caucasian DNA in there somewhere, and that's assuming dad is actually the biological father.

I love the choices the video gives, Alien Hybrid Or Starchild.
