The tale of a girl who sustained horrific burns to almost all of her body trying to save her mother from their burning home has been attracting much sympathy in China of late.
The 13-year-old girl was playing on the roof of the Henan province building she called home, when a fire broke out in her 2nd storey residence.
Knowing her mother was ill and bedridden, she rushed home to save her, ignoring the burning building around her.
Unfortunately, just as she arrived a gasoline can stored in their residence ignited, engulfing her in flames.
Despite 95% burns to her body she was rescued from the building alive, and has clung to life for the 20 days since the accident.
With tragically predictable pathos, when she regained consciousness in hospital, her first act was to ask after her parents.
One of the hospital doctors treating her has reportedly paid for the 20,000 yuan cost of her treatment so far, although it is not clear what her future prospects are.

dat girl had more ballz than me
Best of luck
For real. If that was me I would of just stayed in that fire and let it kill me. Damn that girl is strong. @_@
I think if you're actually in a life or death situation such as that, you'll find your will to live suddenly becomes a whole lot stronger...
If anything, I'm astonished she was even capable of getting down the street, because from what I understand her balls must be the size of trucks to go into a burning building while failing to hesitate.
Or she's 13 and Chinese and has little concept of "fire, burrrrns".
Seriously, You are going to make jokes of this tragic event? Wtf is wrong with you.
At times like this it almost feels like she should have just died. Not she is destroyed both physically and emotionally. And people, please don't say "At least it didn't explode" now.
at least it didnt explode
but yeah i dunno wether this is actually good for her or not. Its up to her wether or not it was worth saving her
A gas can DID explode.
seriously.... a gas can DID explode now. what we doin now?
But that was a secondary explosion, after the fire had already started. The question is, what exploded to *start* the fire? A computer monitor? A carrot? A condom?
T_T
man..a true display of courage in the face of overwhelming despair. Best wishes to her.
Such a tragic story, hope she get better and be able to return to normal.
She won't be able to,from this kind of burns.Her life is forever changed.Im not trying to be an ass her but it's the fact,i hope someone adopts her and helps her somehow.
not trying to be an ass too but she can get plastic surgery. kids born with (for a lack of a better word) 'deformed' faces, often have charity organizations sponsor their surgery to fix their lips, etc.
so, im sure there's hope, so long as she's willing.
I don't want to be an ass but with 95% of her skin burned I doubt that she will live much longer. Just to still be alive is almost a miracle.
An amazing act of self sacrifice.
But yeah even in the developed world your survival rate for 70% 3rd degree burns drops to 1 out of 10. She must have a strong resolve.
Its going to be harder for her if she recover from something like this.She might survive or not ether way it won't matter what prediction or outcome happens.
If she could somehow survive a 95% burn, she qualifies as a shounen manga hero.
lol..."she will never be beautifull again..." "how can she live with it?" If you are burnt to a degree of a piece of COAL your worries would be others than your appeal. Like..."will I survive this day?" Wish you luck in life gentlemen >>
Katawa Shoujo spoiler?
I'm not usually one to pray, but I'll say a prayer for her for healing and strength.
holy cow, like the worst timing ever with the gas can incident. major sad article.
Huh? This article here shows that at least her mother is actually alive and in far better condition than she is, so all hope isn't lost for her.

"The skin cell gun has not progressed to the point where it can be used for such advanced wounds, and these patients must seek more traditional treatment methods"
and
"It is also limited in that it is only effective immediately following the burn incident"
We're getting there, but way, way too late T_T
Ack... what the? this was supposed to go to anon 09:21 12/04/2013...
Anyway, looks like her donating skin really will be the only way to help the girl. Good that her efforts weren't in vain also.
Did her mother die or not?
http://www.china.org.cn/china/2013-04/10/content_28497999.htm
"The girl's mother, 45-year-old Liu Yujiu, escaped with just burns to her feet.
"She has said she will donate her skin to help her daughter."
Since you're still talking then Yes, the mom is still alive, your mom
classy.
That was lame. So lame... You suck at joking.
Anonymous 17:06, you don't even qualify as troll, that is reserved for people with at least some shame.
You qualify as a shameless cunt.
Shameless is fine, but why a "cunt"?
wow what a stupid joke....
The original source I came across was worded to suggest she died, but some double-checking against other sources does suggest this was in error - I've updated the article, although unfortunately it is still not clear whether she actually "rescued" her as such.
Thanks for the correction!
trolls are funny and sometimes witty you sir are not.
Says the anonymous, make an account so we can down vote you with consistency and so you can receive them without the mask :P
Ironic when your avatar is wearing a mask..
bourrrns!
"it is not clear what her future prospects are"?
>80% burns is almost like saying she is dead, and even if she had a chance, this is China we are talking about, she will die.
I feel for the girl but really, it isn't because it's china, it's more like being exposed to the elements of the world in general that will make life hard to hold onto for her unfortunately. She is most likely to get deathly sick without the skin acting as a barrier to stop microbes from getting in.
Is that.... is that what burned skin looks like...or are her clothes likes melted onto her.
I bet they can't even cut the burned clothes off. They should euthanize her. It's a very cruel fate.
That's such a relief to hear that, I thought from the article that the mother died (since it only mentioned "trying"). It's still horrific what happened to her, but at least she didn't also lose her parents.

I hope she dies quickly and with little pain, burns that severe are a hell that no one should suffer through and I don't honestly expect she'll get adequate enough care to make her life any thing all that happy sadly if she survives.
The only upside is that apart from general shock reaction she doesn't feel pain from her body. Her pain receptors all went to hell together with her skin.
dunno if that's a real upside tbh, keep in mind she's only 13, she has a whole life ahead of her, or what's left of it at least, another sad moment in history
If she was anywhere but China, I would say it's a good thing she survived.
Damn! normally I'm not a praying man (or a religious one for that matter) but I pray to whatever deity she believes in, that she will have a miraculous, or close to one, recovery. She is one ballsy little girl.
You my good man, are a rare kind of human, if only there were more like you, this world would be a better place. I tip my hat off to you.
