Pictures worth a thousand words

Among the many stores on online shopping portal Taobao.com is "Baby Keyi", where all the products sold are photos of the girl.

The store's owner Long Li, 24, is a mother from Chenzhou, Hunan province. Her daughter Chen Keyi was diagnosed with beta-thalassemia major - a genetic blood disorder resulting in failure to produce the protein that enables red blood cells to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The disastrous news came in October 2010, when the girl had just celebrated her first birthday. Doctors said she wouldn't live five years without proper treatment.
