Groom wanted: girl willing to marry whomever can help her brother A 24-year-old woman wearing a #wedding dress appeared in Kunming railway station, Yunnan Province on Saturday afternoon, seeking an “urgent” #marriage in exchange of aid for her dying brother. But the Mr. Right she’s looking for will have to be both generous and wealthy, as the sign she was seen holding said the medical bills are up to 300,000 yuan ($48,163). The brother, Huang Xichao, who suffers from #leukemia, stood beside her in hospital dress, with a diagnostic certificate from the hospital in his hands. Huang had bone marrow transplantation surgery in Oct 2013, bringing 300,000 yuan worth of debt to his family. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with post-surgery complications this month, which would take another 300,000 yuan to cure. With the family unable to afford the medical fees, and their mother passing away a few days ago, the sister, Huang Xiju told local media she felt the responsibility lay on her own shoulders. With little else to go on, Huang thought a marriage offer may be the best chance they had of raising the much needed funds. She added to the Kunming Times that as long as she was able to get the fees for her brother, she didn’t care what others thought. Netizens’ opinions on social media are divided. Some doubted her motive as a hype, while others were deeply touched. “If I were him, I’d rather die than have my sister do this. I wouldn’t sacrifice my sister’s whole life to win extra time for myself.”@xueyingburugui “Facing death, we have the right to fight. Though the method leads to various opinions, but the difficulty is beyond their ability. Hope everyone gives them best wishes, and anyone can offer a helping hand.” @shuimoyangguangsheying “She just wants to attract public attention, which is the only way to get media to report it so that the kind-hearted offer help. She has no other choice.” @niluohexian
