Gong Jinghong thanks the community
Last month two Henan migrant workers, after working for a decade in Beijing, killed themselves because they could not cope anymore, leaving behind two teenage children. Sohu blogger Li Yuanyuan went last week to Henan to document how the community is dealing with this dramatic event. (Here in a translation of Global Voices' John Kennedy.)
Apart from a tearful story about hardship and suffering in China, it is also a story full of strength, of the girl Hong Jinghong and a community that came rushing out in support. Both happen and the same time, the good and the bad, at the same place, time in China.

I read your blog all the time, first time to make a comment though. Thank you for sharing this story, it would be nice to see a link for donations if possible.
Sorry, I only have the information I have linked to, no additional information.
What is more important than money is the girl's sudden emergence as an icon for hundreds, thousands of other cases that might not get the attention.
