Rise in donations fuel a golden age of philanthropy
Yang Yuanqiang experienced pain and discomfort from infections after his body rejected a lung transplant. However, he was quickly overjoyed by the kindness of strangers.
In March, more than 300,000 yuan ($42,000) was raised for the 63-year-old by nearly 5,000 people via Fun in Funding, an online fundraising platform.
Since it was established in 2014, the platform has helped more than 2.5 million families by raising over 25 billion yuan for medical treatment, its website said.
