Well, the EuroLeopard is a Foton. And I've never worked on a Foton. But the principle should be the same; that is, the driveshaft is permamently engaged to the front differential.

Tranny in neutral, 2wd engaged, rear tires blocked. Jack up the front end so both tires are off the ground. Remove the driveshaft shroud and spin one of the front wheels. What you want to see is (a) the other wheel spin in the opposite direction, and (b) the driveshaft turn. Note: when you remove the shroud, take care to not lose anything that may fall out. Falling pieces may point in the direction of the failure.

Try to get this far, post your results, and we'll go from there.

Ask the auto and truck garages, most likely there is a local shop who makes drive shafts. ....
