BEIJING (SCMP): A woman in northern China has faced serious online backlash for having a second child through IVF while her son battles leukaemia, all while incurring heavy debts and working as a food delivery rider.
The 29-year-old woman, surnamed Jiang, hails from Zhengzhou in Henan province. She sparked widespread discussion after giving birth prematurely to her daughter on November 13 at just 31 weeks, following a fall during a delivery.
