Cao Chao Kun, 35
From Fuqing of Fujian
He was a farmer. His wife Zhao Xiao Mei said: "I am struggling to support two children of ours - our 17-year-old daughter Cao Mei Yun in high school and 14-year-old son Cao Xuan Yong in primary school - and my parents-in-laws. We could hardly manage to live above subsistence level. We still owe our relatives 200,000 RMB while I'm trying to keep my children at school."

Widow of Cao Chao Kun:
The family lives on growing peanuts and her minimal income of 30-something-yuan a day as a funeral drummer. They haven't paid any of the debt.
As a solution to their harsh life, she is spending 100,000 RMB on agency fees and sending her 17-year-old daughter to work in the UK.
