Chinese Woman Wins Bronze in Wilderness Survival, Loses 14kg

A young woman named Zhao Tiezhu in China competed in a tough wilderness survival challenge for 35 days.

She faced extreme heat, sunburns, and many insect bites.

To survive, she ate food she found in the wild, like crabs and sea urchins, and even ate about 50 rats.

By the end, she lost 14 kilograms, going from 85kg to 71kg.

She won a bronze medal and prize money for her effort.

Even though it was hard, she felt it was a big accomplishment and wants to do more survival games, but organizers warn people to be careful.
