In Beijing, a 47 year old migrant worker from the southwestern Sichuan province who suffered a brain haemorrhage, was left at the undertakers alive, awaiting cremation because her family could no longer afford hospital treatment. You Guoying was taken for cremation by her family but fortunately the undertaker noticed her move and saw tears in her eyes. This case is becoming more common in China as families can't afford medical care and there is no social welfare system. You's daughter stated, "If there had been another option, who would have the heart to send a member of their own family for cremation while there was still a hope of survival?"Money was donated by sympathetic citizens for You to go to the hospital.
