I’ve got some money stashed away and I’d consider helping her out but she’s short (163cm? go back to Munchkin Land) and your shitty low resolution picture doesn’t give me any idea how big her breasts are.

The coversion rate right now is about 1$ = 6.8 RMB, so its a little over 22,000 dollars.

How upsetting to find that any woman would still feel the need to commodify their bodies for the sake of others.

Is there a way to donate, perhaps via Paypal, for the surgery? That way, all these caring netizens can help pitch in and help out, instead of moralize through the anonymity of the Internet.

in my hometown when people get sick and cannot pay the medical bills, they will seek the local television station for help. Through TV, the patients’ families will appeal to the society for donation and promise that once they get out of the trouble they will do whatever they can to pay back. I think there are a lot of alternatives out there, and marrying for money is a particularly stupid one. Zhang’s action is bound to raise some suspicision because what she promised to do is simply ridiculous. Also the doctor said that it didnt cost as much as 150,000 to cure Zhang’s friend, so why Zhang asked for so much money? It is self-evident that Zhang herself are urgently in need of money too. She just use her friend’s illness as an excuse.

Yes, I’m sure Rich was being sarcastic, her friend will be lucky to even get a bed in a Chinese hospital without money. Not to mention that 150,000 will probably not get her anywhere in terms of getting good medical care in China. You would think this is quite a bit of money, but most hospitals are thieves so when you give them this amount, they’ll just ask for more. So what is she going to do when that happens? She obviously can’t sell herself to another man. Maybe this is why there are so many hookers in China, you sell your body once thinking the compensation is enough but then you realize it is not. Then you do it again. By the time she figures things out, she’s is a professional hooker working the streets for a “cause”. She may even get a higher tip if she can sell her story to the “lao ban”.

In theory that’s what would happen, but in real life it’s messed up. Some call it “the human factor”.

Since China is so rich and prosperous and all Chinese are well taken care of by the Chinese government, this is completely unnecessary. Chinese government hospitals will cure this patient without costing a cent to anyone.
