widowYu Hui, 34
From Fuqing of Fujian
He was unemployed before going to work in Britain. When Yu Hui died, his wife Wu Ya Hong had to go to another county to work. She now works as a labourer, loading bricks for a building company. She earns 500 yuan a month. "This is far from sufficient to afford a basic living," she said. "I can't think of the debt. We just couldn't afford to pay. It was the 200,000 RMB debt to pay after my husband died. But three years on, with interests, we now owe them 300,000 RMB. The creditors visit us about twice a month, shouting abuse. But I just tried to ignore it. I feel truly helpless."

widowThree years ago, she said: "Since my husband died, Yu Xing, my elder son's high school education, which costs 2,000 RMB per year, had to be discontinued. He is now 15-year-old and is working as a garbage collector. What else do you expect him to do? He's only a kid, with no skills. So he collects rubbish on the streets and sells them." However, with the sponsorship of Lana Li and her colleagues in Australia, the now 18-year-old Yu Xing is studying at a technical school in Fuzhou. The younger son, now 14-year-old, is at junior high school.
