AN American businessman in Shanghai has donated tens of thousands of yuan to the family of a deaf-mute woman who wandered China lost and alone for eight months.
The good Samaritan, who only wants to be identified by his Chinese name, Ke Yuehan, has also offered Zhang Guangxia, 21, a job in his company after reading her story in the Shanghai Daily.
Ke and his girlfriend visited Zhang at her family home in Henan Province last week.
"He said what he saw really surprised him," said Lin Ronggui, a police officer with the Shanghai Railway Station who helped Ke contact Zhang. It was police officers at the railway station who found Zhang last month and reunited her with her family. "The family was living a very poor life."
The American gave the family money, described by police as tens of thousands of yuan, and some essentials, and promised to do more.
"Ke promised Zhang's father he would get a suitable job such as cleaning work for the deaf-mute woman in his company so she could have a stable income to live a better life in the future," Lin said.
Ke and his girlfriend arrived back in Shanghai with Zhang and her father yesterday morning. Police said Zhang would live with Ke until he can place her in a job and move her into a dormitory.
Zhang, who was left deaf after a childhood illness, was enticed away from Henan to Shaanxi Province by a job offer, but found herself working for a gang as a pickpocket.
She escaped and wandered for months across the country before she was picked up at the Shanghai Railway Station.
A patrol officer spotted the woman, whose clothes were in rags, walking past a telephone booth at the railway station on November 29.
Her father traveled to Shanghai on December 1 and took her home after an emotional reunion, police said.
