According to local media, 30-year-old Li was diagnosed with acute aplastic anaemia in May. Aplastic anaemia is a rare disorder in which the bone marrow fails to make enough blood cells. 

Doctors said Li's condition could worsen any time and she needed to undergo a stem cell transplant as soon as possible in order to survive, reported Qianjiang Evening News. 

To Li's family, finding a bone marrow match proved to be difficult because Li was adpoted.

Qiangjiang Evening News said Li was abandoned by her birth parents when she was little. After she fell ill, her husband managed to find her biological parents, trying to ask them to go for a test and see if they would be bone marrow matches to Li. But Li's birth parents firmly refused.

That means Ling Ling, who is the only blood relative to Li in her family, became the family's last hope.

 Her father said the girl agreed immediately when being asked to give her bone marrow

A test showed that Ling Ling was a half match to Li. 

Li's husband pondered over the matters and decided to ask Ling Ling if she would agree to donate her bone marrow.

The little girl said 'yes' without a second thought, telling her father 'give my cells to mum, I hope she could recover soon', Li's husband Dong Haiyong said.

Doctors at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Zhejiang Province collected Ling Ling's bone marrow on Monday.

Medical staff told Qianjiang Evening News that they harvested 200ml bone marrow from Ling Ling in about four hours. They said the child was strong and cooperative throughout the process.

WHAT IS APLASTIC ANAEMIA? 

Aplastic anaemia is a rare disorder in which the bone marrow fails to make enough blood cells.

The condition can be acquired, meaning that the condition has developed during the patient's life, or inherited.

Aplastic anaemia is not a form of cancer but may be associated with certain cancers, especially those affecting the bone marrow, such as leukaemia.

A small number of patients with aplastic anaemia may develop leukaemia.

Because of the lack of cells within the blood, these are replaced by fat cells.

Any remaining cells look more or less normal in contrast to other blood cancers

There are approximately 125 cases diagnosed every year and, of this number, 30 cases are children.

Patients may have symptoms of anaemia such as paleness, fatigue, shortness of breath and excessive bleeding and a tendency to bruise easily.

Ling Ling's grandmother weeps as she says 'this breaks my heart, my granddaughter is so little'

Ling Ling's grandmother said she felt so sorry that her granddaughter had to go through the procedure.

'This breaks my heart. My granddaughter is so little. But this is for her mother to get better,' she told a reporter from Zhejiang Satellite TV from Ling Ling's hospital ward.

Ling Ling's hematopoietic stem cells were transplanted into Li's body the next day, and doctors are observing Li this week and next to see if the transplant was successful.

The medics are optimistic though. They told Zhejiang Satellite TV that Li has an 80 per cent chance of a full recovery.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
