Brave heart Chen Jin is the name on everyone's lips at Wuxi People's Hospital.
The 13-year-old high school student has lain there silent since deliberately swallowing 200 sleeping pills in a misguided bid to save her ailing father on January 24.
Chen's mother, Cui Lan, a laid-off factory worker in her 40s, has been weeping too much to even talk on the phone, saddened by the prospect of losing not one but two of her family members.
