The plight of a father who had to pay a large amount of money to retrieve his drowned son's body has sparked widespread debate and focused attention on companies that recover bodies from water.
On March 9, a 22-year-old man from Dayi county, Sichuan, fell into the Xijiang river and drowned. His distraught father sought the services of a recovery company to help him retrieve the body.
Huang Feihu and three crew members found the body on Tuesday.
