Girl sells herself to save classmate
A Chinese student is selling her own hand in marriage for £15,000 in a bid to save the life of a classmate.
Dan Dan, 22, who studies at a university in Dezhou, Shandong province, made the offer online, reports Guangzhou Daily.
Her friend Zhang Yuemei has been diagnosed with encephalomyelitis, a disease of the brain and spinal chord.
She has no money for the treatment she needs and without which she will deteriorate into a vegetative state.
"Her parents are all farmers, who are unable to afford sky-high surgery fees and follow-up treatment expenses," explained Dan Dan.
She says she will marry any man prepared to donate the equivalent of £15,000 to cover Zhang's medical treatment.

I hope some philanthropist steps in and helps her out ...
Nice intentions but touch of arrogance to think someone will pay her 15,000 pounds to marry her.

Thats stupid. She should just ask 15,000 people for 1£ each [=

I will pray someone donates the money without her having to marry for it.

GOODLUCK.....
Quite a humble show for humanitarian cause but I don't think that selling one self into marriage is wise option as things might goes wrong later making both ending up as victims of circumstances.
There would be plenty of takers around....These are the times when I regret not being a multi millionnaire....
