Quotable

"The world in my eyes is beginning to change, (it is becoming) less hardhearted than I once thought."

Liao Dan, a 41-year-old Beijing resident accused of conning a hospital out of tens of thousands of yuan in medical fees to save his seriously ill wife, saying he is grateful to those who helped his family. Liao is accused of copying the hospital's seal and using it to make fake receipts for the blood dialysis treatments of his wife, Du Jinling, who has uremia.

Since his story made headlines nationwide, more than 140,000 Chinese micro-bloggers have donated more than 500,000 yuan ($78,500) to his family. A Chinese entrepreneur also donated 170,000 yuan to Liao to help him pay his debt to the hospital.
