A sick woman in China who spat out blood on an underground train then wiped the bloodstain from the floor with her coat has received 400,000 yuan (US$58,000) in donations from internet users moved by her plight.
A video of the woman taken by a passenger on a train in Chongqing, southwestern China on March 23 has gone viral on mainland social media, Jiupai News reported.
Hu Xinyao, 23, has a rare vascular condition called ANCA-associated vasculitis.
She was on her way to a hospital for an injection when she suddenly coughed up blood because of bleeding in her digestive tract.
Hu was filmed quickly taking off her coat to wipe the floor of the train although her movements were slow due to her condition.
