摘要

WHEN celebrating this year’s Dragon Boat Festival with a family gathering,Xiong Yong found his good old days back.The 38-year-old man from Yeliping Village,Sanjian Township in Fengdu County,southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality,now has finally risen above the financial stress caused by his uremia condition thanks to a chicken farm he now runs.About eight years ago,the disease sent an already poor family to even more straitened circumstances.“Dialysis therapy three times a week depleted my hard-earned savings,and I ended up borrowing money from family and friends,running into debt,”Xiong recalled.Illness and poverty haunted their family at that time.
