This child is called Cheng Cheng. He is 10 years old and has lived with his mother since childhood. In November 2017, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The two people who are arguing in the picture, dressed in yellow, are Cheng Cheng’s mother Liu Mei, and the other is Zhou Bin who calls himself Cheng Cheng’s cousin.

The mother lost contact after giving the sick child to her cousin.

Zhou Bin told us that two months ago, Liu Mei disappeared with the money to treat her children. This was the first time they met in two months.

Zhou Bin:On April 20th or so, she said that she peeled the apple by hand, and then asked me to take care of her children for a few days.

But what happened afterwards surprised everyone.

Zhou Bin:As a result, she sent the child to my hometown the next day and gave it to my mother. I was not at home that day.

Zhou Bin’s sister:She put the child in the medical station behind us. She didn’t even get off the bus, so she followed the car and the child walked back with her neighbors.

Since then, no one has been able to contact Liu Mei. Not only that, Zhou Bin said that when Liu Mei left, he also took away the bank card with donations for children’s treatment.

The child’s medical treatment money was taken away by the mother.

When the reporter saw Cheng in Anhui Children’s Hospital, he was being treated. According to the doctor, his leukemia was a high-risk type. Although his condition eased after several chemotherapy, there was still a long treatment process.

After the news of Cheng Cheng’s illness spread, his school and the Red Cross Society in the county, including some crowdfunding platforms, donated money to him, amounting to about 220,000 yuan. For half a year after Cheng Cheng became ill, his mother Liu Mei has been taking care of him in the hospital, which is also his greatest reliance.

It is understood that in the first half of the year, all the expenses of Cheng Cheng’s illness were around 100,000 yuan. Zhou Bin said that it was the remaining 120,000 yuan donated by Cary that Liu Mei took away when he left his child.

Reporter:Then why did the money go to his mother’s account instead of the public account for treating children?

Zhou Bin’s sister:Because she is his only guardian, legally speaking, this money is his mother’s account, which is supervised by his mother.

After more than a month, Zhou Bin tried many times, but he couldn’t get in touch with Liu Mei. In desperation, he had to take care of Cheng Cheng in the hospital all the time. When Cheng Cheng was not hospitalized, he lived with his children in a rented room near the hospital. Both treatment and life need expenses, which makes him feel overwhelmed again and again.

Zhou Bin:I’m sure it’s 60,000 to 70,000, all borrowed by my sister. I don’t know the exact amount, but every time I run out of money, ask my sister to call me a few thousand, and our specific amount will not be less than 60,000 yuan.

After Liu Mei disappeared, Zhou Bin and his family turned to the media for help, hoping to get Liu Mei back to his child as soon as possible, especially to take out the life-saving money from the child to treat him.

Mother appeared to explain the reason for losing contact.

About a month and a half after this incident was reported, after many searches, the reporter contacted Liu Mei who was still in Hefei.

Reporter:You probably chose to lose contact around April 20, that is, leave. Why did you do this at that time?

Liu Mei said that his hand was accidentally scratched while peeling an apple that day, and he needed to go to the hospital for examination. He could not take care of the children at the moment, so he had to entrust Zhou Bin with help.

Liu Mei:Then I went to the doctor to do something. I haven’t come back yet. Then Zhou Bin said I left. I was depressed when I went back. I said, why don’t you wait for me?

Liu Mei told us that Zhou Bin left early that day, and the more she thought about it when she got home, the more angry she felt, so she sent the child to Zhou Bin’s mother’s house the next morning. In addition, Liu Mei also revealed a more unexpected secret.

"Cousin" is actually the biological father.

Liu Mei:I told him (Zhou Bin) when I had this child, because I didn’t feel quite right.

It turns out that in 2007, when Liu Mei was working in Zhejiang, he lived in his second sister’s house for a period of time, and Zhou Bin was her husband. Liu Mei said that in fact, Zhou Bin is not the so-called child’s cousin, but the child’s biological father.

Reporter:At the beginning, why did you say that it was the child’s cousin?

Zhou Bin:Because at the beginning, after all, I said that I could only be a child’s cousin, right? I went to the police station to report the case. I said that his mother said that I was the father of the child. The police station also explained this. He said, why do you say that you are his father?

Liu Mei said that after the baby was born, Zhou Bin had contact with her, but her attitude made her very chilling, especially after this incident, Zhou Bin smeared himself to the media, which made her unacceptable.

The mother asked for a paternity test.

On June 15th, under the persuasion of reporters and policemen, the two sides finally agreed to meet. Although both sides agree that children’s treatment is the main treatment at present, Liu Mei still insists that Zhou Bin should have a paternity test before he can make a donation for treatment. After consultation, Zhou Bin also agreed to do paternity test on the spot.

In the end, Liu Mei also took out his bank card and went to a nearby bank to transfer all the 120,000 yuan donations from Cary to the public account of Anhui Children’s Hospital for Cheng Cheng’s treatment.

Both parents have not reached an agreement on the child support.

On June 26, 2018, the reporter received the paternity test report given by the appraisal center. The report shows that according to the analysis, Zhou Bin is indeed the biological father of Cheng.

Liu Mei:He should take care of this, because what is the situation? To tell the truth, there is nothing I can do alone.

Zhou Bin:After all, we still have children at home, and I still have a burden. I must also go out to work, right? Now that we really have no money, I can’t always borrow it for a long time, and I can’t borrow it.

At present, the reporter learned through the hospital that Cheng Cheng is receiving treatment and his body is recovering further, but both parents have not reached an agreement on the future support of their children.
