A Chinese man has touched everyone's heart with his desperate effort to
raise money for his sick son by having people assault him for a fee.

A father's love for his sick son has seen him beg strangers to whip him
for a fee in order to raise money to treat his son who is going blind.
According to a Dailymail report,
the desperate man, named Fan Fugui, reportedly knelt on a street in
Beijing last week and charged passers-by 10 yuan (£1.2) per hit.
The one-year-old son it was gathered suffered serious eye diseases and
needs an operation which will cost 100,000 yuan (£11,881).
Pictures, taken on January 11, show Mr Fan begging on a busy street of
the capital city. The man is originally from south-west China's
Chongqing.
To prove his sincerity, the man wore nothing but his underpants in
freezing weather as he presented a wooden rod with both hands, inviting
pedestrians to beat him.
A signboard was placed beside him, with the title 'hit my thighs to save my son'. The
signboard explained that his son, Fan Yuhang, had been diagnosed with
optic atrophy in March, 2015, and would go blind without medical
treatment.
The message went on saying that his impoverished family couldn't afford the bill.
It also read: 'Kind-hearted people, please help us.'
The man then left his bank details, his name and his phone number on the
board. Some passers-by donated money, but none of them whipped Mr Fan,
the report said. Since Mr Fan's story was published in China earlier
this week, the man has received 50,000 yuan (£6,000) donations from the
public.
He said it was enough for him to pay for the deposit and check his son
into the hospital. The man added that he would look for more suitable
ways to raise the remaining amount in order to afford the operation.
