There is an unlucky boy suffering from talipes in China; his name is Santem; he is lovely and likely;

There are groups of kind-hearted Chinese helping Santem get rid of illness; they are anonymous; they are sympathetic and caring.

The boy was a tiny figure born in China’s southwest Tibet, a remote and backward place in most people’s impression; but his story is thought-provoking: love breeds hope; love can never be parted by distance.

Misfortune befell the boy

Santem was born in a small village in Lhozhag County in Lhoka prefecture of China's Southwest Tibet Autonomous Region. Boasting Tibet's first temple and first piece of farmland, Lhoka is the birthplace of Tibetan culture as well.

The place where Santem was born was only 20 kilometers away from the Kingdom of Bhutan. Although there are beautiful sceneries, Santem was unable to enjoy himself with these wonders due to the talipes equinovarus caused by sequela from Cerebral palsy, which has also triggered scoliosis and deprived him of the ability to run, the opportunity to go to school and to see the breathtaking sceneries in his hometown as well as the big world beyond the high mountains.

He was unlucky to be born to such a remote place and a poor family.

A love relay starts off

When a local cadre named Jiangcai went to visit Santem’s village, he came across this little boy, whose sufferings engraved on his mind the first sight Jiangcai saw him. So the cadre made up his mind to help Santem to walk again as normal as others.

The cadre came back and turned to the internet by putting a great many of online postings, calling for people to help the poor Santem. His posting was seen by a netizen from Chuangchun, capital city of China's northeast Jilin Province. The Netizene then contacted some media in Changchun such as the New Culture Newspaper and asked them to appeal people give a hand to Santem.

Fortunately, under the help of the media, the most professional Orthopaedic Hospital in Changchun decided to go far away to Tibet and bring Santem back for free operation.
