A woman whose husband left her because she was suffering from uremia found help from the generous residents of Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province.

Feng Shuqin, 39, a farmer in Shangluo, Shaanxi province, returned from a hospital in Xi'an last Monday morning, and found a note written by her husband, which read: "I have no money for your disease and I've decide to leave you and the children."

After learning of Feng's story from the local media, Xi'an residents visited Feng in the hospital and gave her enough money for her treatment.

"I don't blame my husband. I knew the amount it would take to cure my disease was too much for my family," Feng said.
