BEIJING: In order not to miss school, an 11-year-old leukaemia patient has been travelling hundreds of kilometres between his home and the hospital where he is receiving treatment over the past year.

Shi Luyao is from Bengjing village in Liupanshui city, Guizhou province. His mother left when he was just two-years-old because of poverty and never came back. The boy has lived with his grandparents since.
