Chinese parents who can’t afford the cost of the live-saving medical treatment for their daughter are sell their son in the street in a desperate effort to raise money for his sister’s chemotherapy.

The children’s mother, Meng Xiangyan, explained that with certain death awaiting her daughter unless she gets urgent medical treatment, she and her husband were ready to sell her twin brother to loving adoptive parents, so that his sister would have a chance of life. These photos are showing Mrs. Meng standing with her son on Weihai Road in Qingdao, in China’s eastern Shandong province, holding a sign offering to sell him to the highest bidder. She said:
 Up until a year ago we had a wonderful family and we thought we had everything we could need with a wonderful little boy and a wonderful little girl who are twins.

2. The 29-year-old claims she and her husband love both their children, but they are willing to sell their son (pictured together) to a good home in order to try and save the life of his twin sister.

3. The boy’s twin sister (pictured with Xiangyan) is suffering from leukemia and requires life-saving treatment.

But all that changed when my daughter was diagnosed as suffering from leukemia in August of last year and we spent all of our savings and borrowed everything we could from friends and relatives. It still wasn’t enough, and now we are hoping to raise cash from the sale of our son.

Doctors at the Rizhao Municipal Hospital say the girl is suffering from acute form of lymphoblastic leukemia and needs urgent medical treatment which includes chemotherapy every 10 days. The family have already sold their apartment and furniture and are now living in a 110 sq ft apartment close to where the chemotherapy is being carried out.

The parents are struggling to keep the tiny apartment warm, which is vital to prevent the girl, weakened by chemotherapy, from catching a cold which could be fatal.

The family’s attempt to sell their son follows a similar incident a month ago, in which a woman was seen trying to sell her baby daughter in the streets of China so she could pay her husband’s $15,000 medical bill. Her sign read:

Please buy my daughter. My husband is waiting for surgery fees in the hospital as his boss ran away. I would like to sell my daughter and save my husband.

No one offered to purchase her daughter. It is unknown whether Mrs. Meng and her husband have been more successful in their attempt to sell their own child.
