Chinese couple crowdfund for grandson’s hospital bills, and put their house up for sale, after he falls six storeys from window

An accident in July last year upended the lives of Yang Cuiping and Lu Bingxing. Their grandson Lu Pengyinuo, now six years old, fell from their sixth-floor flat in Shanxi, northern China, late one night while they were sleeping.

Yang said: “He woke up at 5am and played with a mobile phone near the window. He dropped the mobile [onto the street]. He looked out of the window to see where it dropped, lost his balance and fell to the ground.”
