Gao An-ni (高安妮), an 8-year-old girl from the rural countryside in An Yuan county in East China's Jiangxi Province, suffers from a tumor in her underlip. An-ni was born with a tumor in her underlip, and she couldn't receive timely treatment for the poverty. On May 28, her father took her to see doctors at the Hospital affiliated with Gannan Medical College. But when doctors there told him that the operation to cure the tumor and the following cosmetic surgery might cost a lot for the family, the father decided to bring back his daughter to their hometown. I am wondering why China, with the world's most prosperous foreign reserve, would not set up a welfare foundation for those suffering grave illness in the poor family.Previously, RC has a post on an 'alien' boy who was also born in Jiangxi.
