As an act of atonement, a driver who had struck and killed a man with his car has taken in the victim's father as his own in Changsha, capital of Hunan province.

Cao Xuecheng, 24, had escaped after he killed Li Wei, 21, last month. But the driver surrendered to police after his own father convinced him to do so. The father also gave more than 155,000 yuan ($22,682) to Li's family members.
