Lai Yingying, 47, of Quanzhou city, performed his stunt in front of the shoe factory where he works as a security guard.

The factory supplied the truck which, with nine adults sitting in it, weighed more than three tonnes, reports People's Daily.

Lai wrapped his feet in gauze first, then locked them into the 162kg shoes, more than double his weight of 75kg.

With onlookers cheering him on, Lai gritted his teeth and managed to push the truck for 15 metres in the heavy shoes.

"It takes co-ordination," says Lai, who has been practicing Chinese Kung Fu since he was 11.
