When Chen Jin finished writing her suicide note and picked up two bottles of sleeping pills, she thought only of one thing: Her death would save her father's life.
Gulping down 200 tablets, the 13-year-old girl lay on her bed and closed her eyes.
Two months on, Chen Jin now finds herself deformed and unable to walk. Her beloved father is dead, killed by liver cancer, which the innocent girl hoped her death might cure.
