Chinese Boy Who Actually Sold His Kidney to Buy iPad & iPhone

We have often joked about the exorbitant prices of Apple products, saying how one would have to sell his/her kidneys to afford them. Every year when Apple launches a new product, kidney jokes and memes go viral, however, no one ever thought that something of that sort would actually happen.

Wang Shangkun was 17-years-old when he underwent surgery and sold his right kidney in the black market to buy the Apple products.

“Shangkun had sold his kidney to black market organ harvesters in April 2011 where he received $4,500 Australian dollars. He purchased an iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with the funds,” the report added.

Selling a kidney for an iPhone sounds like the perfect premise for a joke, and we have all seen funny memes depicting the same on social media, especially recently with the launch of the iPhone 11. While most of us would laugh at the ludicrous idea, one Chinese man took it seriously and actually implemented it! Back in 2011, 17-year-old Wang Shangkun sold his kidney on the black market and used the money to buy an iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Now, eight years later, the 25-year-old man regrets his naïve decision. His remaining kidney failed and he is reportedly bedridden.

After reaching the designated place, the middlemen took Shangkun to an uncertified underground clinic. The two surgeons, nurse, and the assistant worked at local hospitals, but they also did illegal organ-harvesting on the side. A complicated surgery was performed to remove his left kidney, which was then sold illegally to a patient who paid 150,000 RMB in exchange for the organ. The middlemen kept most of the money for themselves and gave only 22,000 to Shangkun, who immediately bought an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4 before going back to his hometown.

When the news broke out, Shangkun was quoted saying “Why do I need a second kidney? One is enough.” Little did he know how much he would come to regret those words. Soon after the surgery, he developed renal deficiency. The unsanitary setting of the clinic where the surgery took place, combined with a lack of proper, post-operative care led to an infection, which caused his other kidney to fail as well. Today, 25-year-old Wang Shangkun is suffering from kidney failure. Completely bedridden, he is unable to work or take care of himself. He also needs regular dialysis.

After seeing her son with the expensive Apple gadgets, Shangkun’s mother enquired about where he got the money. To her shock, he said that he had sold one of his kidneys. She called the police and reported the incident. In April of 2012, a total of nine people including the three middlemen and the two doctors were charged with illegal organ trading and intentional injury by the public defenders of Chenzhou City.

At the trial, Wang Shangkun was too weak to appear in front of the court. However, he won the case and his family was awarded a compensation of 1.47 million RMB. The middlemen were sentenced to three to five years in prison. The doctors, on the other hand, received a three-year senten
