An 18-year-old man from Anhui Province died recently from kidney failure after he had worked for two years as a migrant labour to cover his sister's medical fees.
In 2003, Yangyang quit school at the age of 15 and set off to work in Guangdong Province after his sister was diagnosed with diabetes.
He regularly sent most of his earnings back home to pay for his sister's treatment.
Several days ago, Yangyang suddenly collapsed and died from kidney failure.
Doctors said his disease may have been caused by overworking and malnutrition.?
