A seriously ill girl whose parents had four more children in the hope of finding her a suitable transplant donor is on the road to recovery.

Zhenzhen, 10, from Meizhou in eastern Guangdong province, was diagnosed with thalassemia - a genetic and potentially fatal blood disorder - as a baby and needed a bone-marrow transplant to save her life.

"We were told by a doctor that she wouldn't live past the age of 10 and that the treatment was very expensive," her mother, Zhang Qiubo, told Guangzhou Daily. "She used to have frequent fevers and other symptoms."
