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

Introverted young woman with rare condition whose father works far away to fund treatment opens up thanks to kindness of strangers

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.

On April 15, she hired a rider for companionship through a food delivery app, placing the unusual order: “Sit by my bedside for two hours” without needing any delivery.
