The arrow pierced Liu Cheong's eye socket, travelled through his head and lodged in the back of his skull.
The 11-year-old only survived because the 16in dart missed his brain.
"If the arrow had been shot with just a bit more force, it would have come out the back of his head," said medics at Jida Hospital in Changchun, eastern China.
Surgeons chipped away at parts of the boy's skull for more than four hours to remove the arrow, which had sunk more than four inches into his head.
They even had to cut away part of the shaft just to get the boy in the CT scanner.more
