A 17-YEAR-OLD boy in southwest China has to drop out of school and work at a coal mine to earn money to save his fatally-ill mother.
Pu Zhigang, a native of Wanyuan, Sichuan Province, has kept his mining job a secret from his mother who is being treated for uremia in a hospital in Shijiangzhuang, Henan Province. She thought her son was busy preparing for his college entrance examination next year.
He said he would never let her know his work and neither would he stop, reported Newssc.org, a local website portal, today.
The boy borrowed an ID card in June from his elder brother who is above 18 in order to get employed by the mine operator.
He has already sent home 1,500 yuan (US$218.76), almost all he earned in one month in the coal mine in Wandu, Jilin Province.
