Wang Jing, a young woman from Wuhan, Hubei province, has suffered from brittle bone disease for much of her life. As the adopted daughter of Wang Kejian, who is now plagued by a malignant tumor in his prostate, the girl is working desperately to save money to pay for her father's treatment.
Wang works as a part-time customer service representative, processing orders for an e-commerce platform. She earns a monthly salary of 1,000 RMB, or a little more on certain important shopping days like Nov. 11 and Dec. 12. However, she has to get up at 4 a.m. and works until 1 or 2 a.m. the next day.
What drives Wang to work so hard is that she wants to help her father, as Wang Kejian raised her and refused to ever give her up, even though she suffered from disease. Due to concerns about surgical fees, Wang Kejian has so far opted for cheap radiotherapy to treat his tumor. He said he is primarily worried about the health of his daughter.
When Wuhan police officer Zheng Shaofeng learned about Wang's situation, he offered the young woman a helping hand. Zheng bought her a new computer to make her work more convenient. In addition, Zheng and his colleagues now come to visit Wang and her father over the holidays. Zheng even arranged for Wang to receive a free education in digital media design and production.
