‘Love relay’: lonely China cancer patient orders ‘company’ via food delivery platform

A lonely cancer patient in southeastern China sparked a viral relay of love after ordering “companionship” through a food delivery platform.

Little Li, a 24-year-old woman from Foshan, Guangdong province, is battling a rare blood cancer, according to Southern Daily.

After undergoing four rounds of chemotherapy, her condition is stable, though she continues to receive care at the hospital.
