China's Conjoined Twin Girls Are Alive And Growing Stronger

Twin Girls Sharing One Body Are Growing Stronger

CHONGQING, China — In a hallway at the Xinqiao Hospital of the Third Military Medical University, Liao Guojun spends his days pacing, sleeping on borrowed beds and hoping for news. His daughters are only feet away, behind a locked door at the end of the hall, but he rarely sees them.

Liao’s children, unusual conjoined twins born May 5, lie behind the closed and guarded door of the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. The room’s windows have been covered with paper, preventing curious gawkers from stealing glances of China’s notorious newborns.
