Chinese man labours in fields to help family he injured in car crash
Motorist has little money, but he offered to work on family’s farm to help them with their medical costs, according to newspaper report
A man in eastern China has helped work on the farm of a family he badly injured in a car crash for two years to help pay off their medical fees, Chinese media reported.
Zhang Guihai has planted potatoes in the family’s fields at a village near Gaomi in Shandong province to compensate for the 450,000 yuan (US$65,000) they have paid for medical treatment, the Shandong Business Daily reported.
Zhang crashed his car into a motorcycle ridden by Chen Keliang, carrying his wife and 10-year-old son.
Chen eventually had to have his left leg amputated and his wife suffered a severe fracture in her left leg after the accident in December 2015. Their son had to have surgery on his left leg, which was later infected, requiring more operations.
