Original report from Here, and there are other similar news at Here
This plant is called "Chinese Knotweed" (Fallopia multiflora, syn Polygonum multiflorum Thunb). The one shown on the picture above claimed to be a wild one, with its root shaped like a human being, which is rare. The human-shape can actually achieved by letting the roots grow in a mold with the desired shape.
The human-shaped chinese knotweed actually sells for a higher price than the ordinary ones, and people somehow believe that it is something magical --> and conclude that its medical value is also higher than the "normal" ones.
