Donations give boy new lease of life

Public raises about 500,000 yuan ($73,787) to pay medical bills for an 11-year-old with leukemia

Shi Luyao, an 11-year-old boy from the southwestern province of Guizhou, no longer needs to travel 800 kilometers by himself to receive leukemia treatment in a neighboring province.

After his story was reported by media recently, donations have flooded in to help him. A hospital in Guizhou offered to treat him, and his medical bills can now be covered by donations.
